Subject: When your race photo finally makes you go, DAMN!

The first shot is from New Year's Eve 04/05.  This has to be one of the worst shots of me ever taken, and it makes me realize (now) just how bad I had gotten.  I was probably easily in the 325+ range at that time.

The 2nd shot is from Columbia Triathlon in May.

The 3rd shot is a finishing chute photo from my most recent race, Triangle Triathlon on July 9th.  Notice the difference 8 weeks of simply training will do.  No "dieting", no weight lifting, just riding and running, lots.

The last one is me enjoying some post-race food from Triangle.  I can't believe how thin my neck looks in that one.

Freakin awesome!

It's similar with me. I bought a ton of new slacks when I started my job back in Nov of 04, and now they are all WAY TOO BIG. By about 3 sizes.

Keep up the excellent work and training!

Congratulations, you are looking great!  I have to agree with the others, you look extremely happy in the last photo.  I was getting depressed early on because I wasn't really losing weight but working out all the time.  Then my hubby decided to start taking my body measurements and it was amazing the difference the training had really made.  I have lost 2 dress sizes since January when I started training for my first tri that was in April.

Keep up the good work and what a great positive reinforcement!

You look awesome. What a great motivator to stay healthy forever! Display those pics somewhere in your home - that's the best trophy/award one can look at every day

Awesome job just staying on the consistent activity. It is amazing what "just that" can do! (How are you liking the unusually hot weather in Palo Alto? I grew up there, and my parents are about how hot it is.... now that I live in NC, I have little sympathy!)
