The Numbers: December 20th edition
This month has sped by. We’ve had snow, ice, and sunshine. It’s been a lovely Christmas season – and sharing it with my 4 year old daughter, has been such a gift.
I haven’t been rigid with my eating and my progress, while good, isn’t as far along as it could be. I had goaled to be at 230. That was a good goal, provided I had created an effective structure for achieving it. I didn’t though – and without that, I continued progressing but not as quickly. That said, I found these two pictures that really help me see how far I have come.
The more I think about it, the more I’m certain that having a structure will bring me the biggest results. That will be my focus in the coming year… automating everything so that it becomes like breathing to the food that I want to, exercising, and living a fully embraced life. 
So, click more to see the numbers…
Weight: 242 (-2 lbs)
Height: 5′8″
BMI: 36.8
Measurements
Neck: 14
Bicep: 14 (-.5″)
Forearm: 11
Chest: 45
Waist: 42 (-2″)
Hips: 46 (-2″)

The measurements are what have me dancing today. That and this picture that shows me visibly my progress!
My question for you today: Are you going to watch your health, food and exercise over the holidays? If yes, why? If no, why?
Embrace Love, Embrace Life, Embrace Your Health!

Wow!!! That’s some progress, girlfriend!! Way to go!!
You just look so much happier in photo number 2. I know when and where you had the photo taken makes a lot of difference, but there’s a definite something, a twinkle in your eye now, that’s not in the first one, and that’s what really makes the difference. You’re more alive, you look happier with yourself.
