A Work In Progress

I just have to give a shout out to my honey. He has been kicking butt(literally) at this Biggest Loser challenge. So far he has lost 30lbs!! I can not believe it. I tempt him all the time with junk and he just won't budge. Tonight for example...we had left over pizza, I was feeling lousy from a hard day of school, so I decided to eat all the junk in the world to "swallow" all my tears. Ha. Okay well that's a bit dramatic but I really was in a junk eating kind of mood and I really did eat an obscene amount of pizza and an obscene amount of ranch and Matt sat contently by my side eating his little egg sandwich...not even tempted by my gluttony. Just after dinner we opened a package from Bry and Les that had Marg's final pictures from our photo shoot. We popped the disk in to take a look...and were SHOCKED by how different Matt looks. He couldn't believe how big he was and neither could I...I don't remember him ever looking overweight to me but looking at him now compared to then he doesn't even look like the same person! I am so proud of his will power and all that he has accomplished so far. His whole attitude about working out, eating, and living a healthy life have changed so much. He's realized that he was making excuses about how he ate and even felt like those excuses were trickling over into normal life. He's made a conscience effort to cut the excuses and be responsible and boy is it paying off!! Good job babe. You are so hott. I just love you to pieces!



























Here are some other before and "after" pictures. I wish you could just see him in person though because these pictures don't even do him justice!












You have to click on these pictures and make them REALLY big...then you'll REALLY see what I mean.
Alright now...time to finish my paper. Woohoo, yippee, fantastic!

So Matt, work it, seriously! i can not believe how different you look. I know you are used to the new you, but really, you look so different to me, I'm freaking out over it. You look so young and the weight loss is so obvious! I'm just so proud of you and your will power... and your rocking it wife who pretends that she can pig out with all her 100lb ness! Oh jess, you make me laugh so hard, I LOVE YOU! SO glad I got to clean your teeth the other day!

Seriously impressive. And I just love that he is posing at your house! What the heck?! Why have we not brought you a house re-warming present yet? OK, becasue we all have colds around here. But still. We so need to have a "We live in Talent and Talent is so cool" party.
