Last night was definitely a “What the heck am I doing?” moment. Last night, I had my infamous BEFORE pictures. Ugh! Getting into a two piece swimsuit is challenge enough. Then to go in front of other people and allow them to take pictures of me, weigh me and measure me is my worst nightmare. I guess anxiety and fear are great motivators. The reason I’m participating in the challenge is for the motivation, to push myself beyond what I thought I could do. I must admit that once the pictures were done I felt a huge relief. The women who did my pictures were great too. They were very discreet and helpful and there were no gasps when I got on the scale (aside from my own, of course). So today, I stepped out of my box and in front of the camera. Let the challenge begin….
