| My scale this morning. |
I stepped on the scale this morning loaded with motivation and desire. I knew I had made some changes that should impact the number I was about to see but, had I done enough? Then came the voices of doubt and wonder. I know first hand that weight loss is far from linear and what you do the day before has little result on what you see on the scale the following morning. The closer I get to my original goal the more and more I am starting to experience a true test of mental strength. I knew these moments would come but truth be told I didn’t think they would be so difficult.
The small changes that I have made will have a large impact on things overall. I understand that winning the small battles will lead to creating healthy habits and at only 10 months out from this life change I am far from “cured”. I talked yesterday about feeling comfortable and how those feelings have started to creep into my mind. I am working through that with the help of friends and family. It’s important to push and respect my limits. I need to learn that it is ok to take a day off, but that day off doesn’t mean that I cannot eat to my plan. If anything it’s those days that my eating plan is extremely important.

| Last night at the gym! Finally getting some biceps going! |
I can’t believe that I am less than 20 pounds away from my original goal. To be honest, its very surreal. I was at the gym last night going through my typical “last chance” workout and thinking about how much has changed in the course of 10 months. When I started this journey, I literally could not run around my block without having to stop for air. I am ashamed of what I once was, it’s truly embarrassing. I think of it now as a life lesson that I needed to learn. Take care of your body, you only get one! I don’t think I knew that I had let it get so out of control.
Wildflower is only a 37 days away and yesterday I go my new Triathlon gear. I have to admit I was excited to get it and not so excited to wear it! Never in my life did I imagine I would war something like this… Enjoy – Ha!
