Me with a lot more junk in my trunk.

Just trying to keep from shaking like a leaf with nervousness. =)

This is me on the chunkier end of my scale. Taken a while ago, but good for contrast with my current progress pictures. Perhaps I should have laid off the gallon sized margaritas.

Me with a lot more junk in my trunk.

I got serious about getting my body to where I want it to be in December of 08 and have lost 14 Lbs prior to this picture being taken.

My first attempt to pose for anyone other than the mirror.

Goofing off and freezing my butt off. It was about 55 degrees at the beach last night. Who's bright idea was it again?

My glutes and hams need some serious work.

Taking self portraits is tough. Especially when you can't remember how to use the timer on your own camera.

Before breakfast. I was starving.

On my way to the gym for a cardio session.

You have no idea how long it took me to be this pic right.

I was practicing posing and felt inspired enough to take a pic. Bloated belly and all. =) Notice that I'm wearing heels. My right ankle just keeps getting better and better. Yay!

The reason I wear knee length dresses and capris. I'm putting in work to whittle these thighs down.

My posing practice shoes arrived today. I had to try them on with a bikini of course.

I don't know if you can tell by the pic, but I have noticed the most changes in my quads and chest.

I start posing lessons next weekend. Yay!

And this is where all my fat is hiding. My hammies are under there somewhere. I'm working on it. =)

First day of posing lessons. It's so much harder than it looks. Now I know why ladies talk about practicing so much.

I WILL master the concept of flaring my lats and I'm working on the drumsticks. =)

Okay...I have to point this toe, flare those lats, belly button in, left shoulder out, right hand relaxed, shallow breathing all while smiling like it's the most natural thing to do. Yikes!

Posing in the sand on a hill. Not the best combination.

Two weeks out. Trying my darndest to take some self photos. I need a tripod and a better camera. lol!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that my back side doesn't look as bad as I thought it was. I still need to put in a lot of work in their area though. In time I will get my ham/glute tie in going on as well as an obvious quad sweep. Hard work, consistency and patience will get me there.

Not much detail here. Again, I need a new camera.

Less than a week out!
