Lot of fat on my thighs, but believe me when I say they are a lot leaner. Wt: 208.4

This is how I feel 7 days a week now....Like shit! I'm so tired and drained from school and work with no time to workout. I get 3-4 hrs a sleep at night. I might make it to the gym once a week and those days I feel good. Nursing school is a killer!

Toay is August1, 2008; this pic was taken on 7/16, my birthday! So this is what 34 looks like on me. The last 4-5 months have been hard. I just completed nursing school and it shows that I've neglected myself and my body.I miss the gym so much it hurts....literally. My body feels like crap! I've gained about 15 lbs. on the scale, but it looks as though I've gained 25-30 lbs. in fat. My diet has been terrible, no exercise, no water in months, and very little sleep. I'm sure stress has been a big factor. I'm waiting to take the state boards, but once I'm done with that, then IT"S ON BABY!

Graduated....Finally!

For graduation, my mother took me to The Grove Park Inn in N.C. for some relaxation and spa treatment! It was gorgeous there.

End of Week 1

will get some new pics as soon as possible. First I have to forgive myself for getting this way again.
