A month in a half ago one of my fellow gym-goers commented on how much weight I had lost since returning to the gym in August 2011 since giving birth to Rocket. It was not until that moment that I realized that my dedication and consistency in working out was obvious to more than just me! Here are a couple of pictures that really show that consistency in quality workouts (3-6 times a week) and a healthy, micronutrient-dense vegan diet can really transform an overweight and unhealthy body into a healthy and nearly athletic body.
The first picture was taken May 9, 2011 and the second today, March 12, 2012. I weighed 183lbs back in May and 138lbs today. Do you like how the last two numbers are switched because I do!
Back before January I was not completely transitioned from a flexitarian diet to the vegan diet that I currently and cannot possibly imagine eating another way.
My workout was super intense today and I am looking forward to a 5 mile run tomorrow.
ooh wow! when i come home can you help me?
ReplyDeleteOf course! My semester ends in May so then I will be much more free than now because I am a full time student down at UNCP in Prembroke.
ReplyDeleteYou go, Flo! You look amazing and you SHOULD be proud of your determination and effort!
ReplyDeleteThank you Claire! I am very proud of the fact that I set a goal and am accomplishing it :-) our PEERtrainer group is a big part of my continued success.
DeleteWow! Why cant you live next door to motivate me. You look amazing. & so healthy & strong not skinny fat! I wanna be healthy & strong!
ReplyDeleteYou will be healthy and strong Amanda! I am just fortunate that I have a time to workout while I am at UNCP. If I don't do it when I first get to campus then it is much more difficult to do it later. Working out at home was easier when Rocket was not walking and trying to lift my heavier dumbbells!
DeleteSimply amazing!
ReplyDelete:-) thank you Lori! I am equal parts amazed and proud. I remember when I took the first picture back in May and I was thinking: I really hope I can use the picture if I ever become an after.
DeleteI hope to use both before and after as befores once I start losing the extra bodyfat and sculpting my lower body.
