Behind the scenes…and stuff…

The fabulous Julie Gallhue of nxt|MODEL takes the shine off of Zerek Knight

I had a big cover shoot last week and my Social Media expert, Auberry, took pictures for me. I'm going to share those too, but first I'm going to share a couple pictures of me, because I was actually pretty shocked when I saw them.

It's one thing to lose weight and see the results and be excited, but when you are as big as I was, it's different. I've lost 45 pounds since The beginning of August. It's a LOT of weight, but nobody really started noticing until recently. While that's a bit disheartening, I kept at because I was feeling better. I can feel my bones. I know that sounds funny, but when you are padded, you can't feel your bones. Now I can.

So these were some behind the scenes shots from the TRATR shoot last year:

Yes I am wearing a sheriff's badge in that last shot. Because it's my studio and I am in charge.

The following are images from the big shoot last Saturday:

So there you have it. What 45 pounds looks like on me. Or off of me I guess. I am still working hard, Romance Biggest Winner has been a huge help, as had Derek my absentee trainer and all of my friends pushing me along.

I feel better than I have in a very long time, and I'm looking forward to keeping it up.

Since you came all this way, how about a few more from behind the scenes of the last shoot?

There's always more to come. But the outs are sometimes better than the ins.
