A couple of pix

Posted on April 26, 2009 Written by Diane

I’m not sure the difference is really noticeable here—in fact, if you ask me, it’s hard to see any difference at all. (But I may be slightly biased about this.) Here is me last July, at Mystic Seaport, doing the Fat Mom Hiding Behind the Kids pose, at about 177 pounds:

And here I am today, after a run with Rob, at about 145 pounds:

If you can’t see a difference…just STFU and don’t tell me about it, okay?

    The difference is definitely there. Kudos. I wish I were currently so resolute.

    You absolutely can see a difference. You look like 15 years younger and like you have a ton more energy.

    Whoa, so the way I finally get to see your kids in pics is when you show before/after pics?

    I like that.

    You look mahvelous!

    Yeah, I don’t post so many pix of the kids these days — I feel a little weird about it, since they’re old enough now to say, Hey, WTF?

    And to Google what “WTF” means.

    Thanks for the compliments — I have to admit I don’t see much of a difference myself, but that could very well be because I know they’re pix of me…and everyone knows how people are about pix of themselves.

    I do see a difference, though I have to say the kids have changed even more since last July… Well done!

    Makes me want to start running again—especially at Rancho.

    You look great. There’s definitely a difference especially in your arms. And your tummy looks very flat! No muffin top for you. Congratulations on finding the willpower to stick to your exercise plan. A 12-mile run is amazing. Good for you!
