The picture on the right is from my last day in Lima, Peru in February and the one on the left is from today. 9 month difference almost to the day. Before we left for our trip I had already been losing weight to prepare for climbing a mountain at #MachuPicchu, which I accomplished, even after finding out I had tendinitis and possible gout 2 weeks prior. I remember thinking right after @scrxn took this photo, I hate the way I look and as soon as we get home I’m going to change my life. Has it been easy? NO. Have my ankles flared up countless times? YES. Has any of this stopped me? FUCK NO. Every time I bitch that the scale isn’t moving or the fat on my stomach doesn’t appear to be shrinking I look at these old photos. I need those reminders to keep from getting discouraged because it’s easy to do so. Clearly as I spent many many years failing at it. But that Jen is a person of the past and this energetic, happy and healthy chick is here to stay. #WeightLoss #WeightLossJourney #...
