So, yesterday was progress photo day. After taking Xavy's in a series of poses, I decided I should, (in addition to my weight loss photos), have some development photos taken. I've tried a few on my own. You know the kind -in the mirror with the cell phone. Lol. Surely having a helping hand would be better. Right? Nope. I would have preferred to keep the image in my head. In the gym, in good lighting, in my head...I am a beast. When I leave it up to someone else, I just look like a chunky chick with lumps. The muscles I think I see don't show up in pictures quite the same way.
Perhaps my inner beast is a vampire or other such supernatural being that can not be photographed. Hey, anything is possible. Lol
Oh-there is a reason my face is cut out... posing + grunting = Not pretty

I know for me it is taking a long time to lose the image of "fat girl" in my mind I still go into the store and start at the extra large section and guess we all take our own time to really be able to see the changes that have happened. I think you are doing fantastic and am happy to say that chunky doesn't really apply to you anymore! I wish I had as much muscle in my arms at you do. I saw your post about the push up challenge and have decided that I am going to add that to my workouts (although I don't know how yet) so that my arms can look just as nice as yours. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Yep, it's still hard to imagine that I am "average" size now. Crazy. I do the same thing, I go to the back of the rack still automatically. lol
ReplyDeleteThe 100 pushup challenge was/is awesome. You really can start out with just 1. The changes it will make in your core will shock you. I do not do any core work at all yet and most of my "abs" are because of freeweights and pushups. Good luck. Keep me posted!!!
