Some of you have been wondering what I look like these days sans 13kilograms (that's just over 2 stone for the rest of you). Well, I'm still a little camera shy but the other day I was in one of my favourite stores (Provincial Home) wearing my skinny jeans that are getting baggy and having a nice hair day. I spotted a gorgeous floor length mirror and was a little chuffed to see the girl looking back at me wasn't even sucking in her belly. I snapped a few shots and felt I could share at least one with you all.
Below you can see a comparison between the July 2010 Rachel and the March 2011 Rachel. I realise you can't see my face in the first photo (aiming, focusing and then looking into the lens was hard!) so I asked Joel to take a picture of me just now so you can see where at least a bit of the weight disappeared from.
P.S. My sisters are as cute today as they were in July!
P.P.S. Wearing my necklace in the last photo!
Looking really GREAT, Rachel. Well done. I'm so proud of you (I hope that doesn't sound condescending, 'cause that isn't what I meant!). Loving that necklace as well! xxx "Pretty Rach"!
ReplyDeleteWowzers! You are positively brimming with health and radiance. You look incredible!!! I bet you feel a million dollars too. I am feeling inspired to try those green smoothies! Also, I would LOVE it if you could share some more info about other meals / snacks you eat. I am always after new ideas for healthy eating and you certainly seem to be a winner on here! Good job, Rach! You should be so proud of yourself ... and not even a tiny bit camera-shy. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much girls! Not condescending at all Nell. And yes, probably earned my name back now!
ReplyDeleteMichelle - salads! haha! really. That's the bulk of what we eat. Almost vegan, limited gluten. I'll post some things up when I get organised! I wish I could run like you do. Still not 'built' for that much up and down motion!! :)
Thank you!!!
You look amazing! I bet you feel brilliant too? And glowing! Must be all those super green and yummy smoothies in the morning? So proud of you...so much love and hugs xx
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that you always look beautiful...but I am so glad you have achieved your goals this year...you are a real inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely amazing Rach! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteIt's official! You have inspired me so much that today I had my first ever green smoothie!
ReplyDeleteI made it with 400mls water; 2 handfuls endive; 1 nectarine; 1 orange; some mint; 1 handful of parsley and a squeeze of lemon! I loved it!!!
Matt was curious about what I was doing, so I explained the wonderful effects that green smoothies have had on you. After showing him your blog and pictures, he was sold and he asked me to make one for him! My husband ... the man who does not 'do' healthy ... let alone ask me to make him a GREEN smoothie!! So for Matt it was 400ml water; 2 handfuls endive; 1 orange; 1 apple + a little bit of parsley that I sneaked in! He loved it and has told me that he will have green smoothies every morning for a month!
THANK YOU, Rach! I am so inspired by your journey and so thankful to you for sharing it with us! xo
PS - Did I make my smoothies right?! Any tips?
Rachel You look INCREDIBLE! Well done!
ReplyDeleteto my always beautiful daughter,I'm so proud of you and incredibly thankful to have you in my life. we are both green smoothie converts, though I didn't like dad's 1st few ...you can imagine!
