I'm in a better place now...
Hi Friends!
Thanks so much for the wonderful words of wisdom and compassion during my low period last week. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm really working to turn around my thinking and getting my butt in gear.
Good things about this week...
I've always been pretty good about protein. I have 1-2 protein drinks every day plus the protein in the food I eat. So I'm good there.
I've dropped 2-3 lbs this week, but it gets better than that. I am now at the lowest weight I have every been in my adult life. I was at this weight for about 2 seconds in 1997 when I was taking Phen-Fen. So major feel-good moment for me. Virgin Fat Territory here I come!
Don't ask me why I saved them, but I have a pair of shorts in my dresser that I haven't fit into since...I don't know...middle 90's. I don't know why I still have them, but something made me save them. I have moved 3 times and I kept them each time. Well, I tried them on today and they fit...they are even a bit big. Wahoo!!! That just made my day...my week...my month!!!
Exercise...that horrible 8-letter word. I've exercised 3 times this week! WTG Me!!! That's pretty much more exercise this week than any other week this past year. I downloaded a bunch of songs and I'm figuring out which ones are compatible with the different speeds on the treadmill.
I am now about 20 lbs heavier than my husband. Oh I cannot wait to weigh less than him.
I am signing up for a bike ride in October!!! I would never have done this before. My sister is encouraging me to do it. I would like to settle for the 12 mile fun ride, but she's pushing me to do the 32 mile ride. I think I can do it if I train for it in the next few months.
One last thing if you've made it this far...
I'm taking my girls to Natural Bridge Caverns next weekend. It's a cave about 180 ft below the surface with lots o' walking. Woohoo! Another thing I would never have attempted before.
Thanks again for everything you give to me everyday. We all have our highs and lows. Let's keep sharing both emotions to help everyone on their journey. Love you!
