Before and After Photos

If you came here expecting to find a picture of me in some kind of spandex outfit with the words "DAY 1" photoshopped below my feet, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I had every intention of doing a before shot on Saturday morning while Josh was at choir. That's when the problems began....


What picture to use?


There are two competing philosophies here. The first encourages you to post one of your worst photos so the "after" shot is truly awe-inspiring. This photo typically involves a questionable use of spandex clothing, bare midriff, and old crappy sports bra and no makeup or hair styling (see exhibit A).

The second philosophy believes your current self esteem is more important than the end result, especially if other people are going to see this photo. This shot requires makeup application, a full hair blow out, spanx and a contorted angle to give you the appearance of an existing six-pack (see exhibit B).

I truly wish you could have witnessed the disaster that unfolded in my tiny 10 x 3 foot closet. It was one of the greatest meltdowns in human history. Tears were shed, curse words uttered and finally, I smiled and realized that this photo was not going to happen. So here's the truth: the only people that get to see me in my unflattering workout gear is my husband and our unfortunate neighbors across the street forced to witness our nightly P90X attempts.




We did take measurements of all those important body parts (abs, arms, waist, etc) to make sure we're making progress. But unless you want to stalk our condo in St. Louis Park, you'll have to wait for the "after" photos (that may or may not appear on this blog, I haven't decided).
