1 year later

Last year I had a bout of very bad kidney infections that resulted in me being in the ER 7 times in 2 months.  Due to all of the different meds I was put on during that time I put on a lot of fat.  So much so that I hated how I looked.  When Jay left for his deployment last summer I decided to work super hard and lose the weight I had.  Sadly, the weight stayed on but something else happened instead.  Since Jay's been home from that deployment I have been really frustrated with the whole still weighing what I did when he left (which has been a year now).  Until today, that is.

This afternoon when he came home from work he took one look at me and told me that I have my figure back.  This shocked me because I never thought about how I might have been actually losing all of the fat I'd gained from those meds I had been on for the infection.  So we took a few photos to show that I truly have lost so much in the way of fat that soon the weight should start coming off.

These two were taken last year (April) at my brother in law, Jared's wedding.  I'd just been off the meds for about a month at this time.

These two were taken today to show the difference in what my working out has done in the last year.
