THE BEGINNING - CARMEN's PHOTO JOURNAL

 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Hi there!  I wanted to share a few pictures with you so that we can see the transformation as it happens through this wonderful journey!

This picture of me on the left is from Thanksgiving Day 2013. 

I wanted to show you how I look fixed up, as the next few pictures of  me are pretty raw.  I figure full disclosure.

As much as I dread to put the next few pictures up....for all to see - I am excited to do it as well.  First....very liberating and Second....I want to see my transformation through my journey. I know this will be motivating for me!!! 

So....this is where I put on my "big gurl panties" and begin the process of healing and transformation... and here we go:

I am keeping a spreadsheet which tracks my journey as well.  In order for me not to overthink what I am doing and weighing myself daily, I decided to give my head and heart a break. I will record my weight and body measurements twice a month.  I found several Excel Tracking Samples on the internet and selected the one that made sense to me (see below snip). There are plenty of Free Online Trackers as well.  I will also explore that and share my thoughts with you.

Once I figure out how to share files with you, I will save in either drop box or "cloud" and provide you links to view - if you were curious of the progress.

For now....I will leave you with a wonderful quote ...
