6 Months Ago/Today

• Starbucks Scone and Venti Soy Chai for breakfast (810 calories... more than 1/3 my daily allotment) / Yogurt, Organic Granola, and a granda skinny vanilla latte (430 calories and nutrient-rich)
• Couldn't last 30 seconds on an elliptical / Can last almost an hour on an elliptical
• Couldn't do 10 jumping jacks / Can do 200 jumping jacks
• Hated sweating / loves sweating (sweat is fat crying)
• Always ordered an appetizer when dining out / Not only realizes the appetizer is (sometimes) the proper portion for a meal, but also that it's the deadliest trick on the menu
• Never looked at the nutrition label when purchasing food / The nutrition label is the absolute FIRST thing I look at (can I pronounce all the ingredients?)
• Thought "grilled" on a restaurant menu was synonymous with "healthy" / Realizes "grilled" usually means "first dipped in butter," so I always ask how something is cooked before ordering
• Hated tomatoes / Loves tomatoes (about 90% loves, anyway)
• High anxiety in restaurants / no anxiety in restaurants
• Was uncertain of the existance of collarbones in the body / FOUND 'EM!

It's always nice to highlight progress.....
