Major Milestone- 50 pounds down

Today's a big deal.

As of today I am officially down 50 pounds since I began this journey.

50 pounds down since I started my 2 week pre-op all liquid diet.

Its been an emotional journey,

and just as mental as physical. 

Weightloss is definitely a mind game. 

Some days I totally see a difference and I am motivated by results,

others I feel discouraged because I don't feel like I "look like" I"ve lost 50 pounds. 

Even though these pictures are not "full body" they help me see a 50 pound weight loss difference.

The picture on the left was taken days before my "all liquid diet" started.

The picture of the left was taken a week ago

One thing that I have really been focusing on lately

(and that I am sure has finally pushed me through the plateau and getting to this major milestone)

is working out at the gym, and signing up for a personal trainer.

Now, do I really have the money for a personal trainer? 

No, no I don't.

But I am so glad I'm making sacrfices to do it.

She pushes me and motivates me to get things done on my own. 

She also makes me look about 7 feet tall in this picture.

please ignore the "post workout sweaty/fuzz hair"

Remember the picture on the left? 

Pre-op compared to yesterday
