Yesterday at lunch, I took a selfie. I was wearing a new shirt.
Maddie rolled her eyes and said "Mom, you take more selfies that I do!" I laughed as Lexi said that I didn't. That Maddie just sent her pictures via snapchat. I told her my friends didn't have snapchat, so I had to take pictures to text them or instagram them or facebook them!
Anyway, that got me thinking about my picture taking.
And here is what I have to say.
YES!! I do take a lot of pictures of myself these days. And I am PROUD of it! For years I hated the way I looked and avoided pictures. I didn't want a record of what I looked like or proof of what I wasn't doing!
But now, I am proud of who I am and my journey.
So here is a week in my life.. through pictures.
Today (Wednesday): This was taken after I ran an 8:15 mile. Woohoo! I'm making progress.
okay, one more selfie for yesterday.. :) Cause playing at the park deserves a photo spread!
Monday: Post run. Feeling the burn after four days of scrapbooking and binge eating! (Don't you love Kylie's photobomb!)
Sunday: At the pool. In a swimsuit.
Saturday: My 41st birthday!
Friday: Not technically a selfie..
How about this one?
Thursday: At retreat!
(Taking the panoramic photo was fun! After a bunch of tries, we got it. I started the photo with Mindy on the left sitting and after I passed her and got around, she took the camera and got me in the photo!)
