Gettin' there

I am not one to take compliments very well...in fact it kind of weirds me out. But lately a few people have been super sweet and saying they have noticed how trimmed down I look. I thought I would post some pics just to compare and I guess they are right! I am totally happy but yet of course want to keep going. No not keep going to become anorexic or s*** like that but just to continue to work out. I love that I really don't have to "watch" what I eat as long as I work out. Doesn't mean I can go hit up McDonald's all day long..NO! But I like that when I do workout everyday my body naturally wants to make healthy choices and appropriate portion sizes.

So..what has been my inspiration these last few months? Actually my brother doing an Ironman. It was so cool to be a part of all that energy and good vibes as he came across the finish line. It actually was very intense. I am amazed at what the human body can do and it was really cool to witness it in person. I actually choked up as he came across the finish line. Do I want to do an Ironman? Hell no! But I DO want to do a triathlon. I want to feel that rush, that high, the pain and most of all hear the crowd cheering (maybe not for me but just in general).

This was me 6 months ago:

 

This was this weekend (and I have to add NO SPANX) girls you will know what that means:

 

This was me on my wedding day (my goal):
