summer is full of challenges...

*Update: just finished the first 3 days, which consisted of pretty much drinking shakes all day and eating fruit and vegetables. i'm pretty much starving at this point, but guess what? i lost 4.5 pounds!!

it's almost the middle of July now and i haven't been doing much. and by doing much i mean exercising and eating right. i'm lucky that my skin has become a very nice shade of golden honey, because that's the only thing hiding the bumps and bulges of my laziness. after taking pretty much the entire summer off of taking care of myself (and the fact that we're heading to the beach in a month) i decided it was time to do something. my best friend has been involved with this stuff that is suppose to give you a little boost in the department of healthy bodies. last week i finally ordered it....
you can read all about it on the BeachBody web site. i decided to do it because i eat like crap. i'm a food junkie. i'll eat anything and everything. so, now i'm about to do something that is against my being, and that is to post before and after photos. i'll admit, i'm not a big person, but i'm tired of being asked how pregnant i am. really people?! after 3 kids my body is DESTROYED! i'm putting these pictures up for accountability. if i see myself on the interwebs maybe i'll be more inclined to stick with this for the next 30 days. i think if i can get past the first 3 days (a Shakeology Cleanse), then i'll be okay. i even started back to the running, yes, even in this heat the devil brought. 

here goes nothing...

(i'm sucking in, so imagine how much bigger that thing can really get...)

*if you're interested in the whole Shakeology thing, get in touch with my friend JHD
