Another pound closer...
Jun 25, 2009
Today, like many days, I got on the scale...first thing....and to my wonderful surprise, I find that I'm 201.5 pounds. That means...1.6 pounds and I'm officially UNDER 200lbs!!! May take a week to lose...I don't know...but I won't give up! I haven't been this low in weight in 17 years! For 17 years, I've been carrying around the 63.5 pounds that I've lost...I'm not even sure I can lift and carry 63.5 pounds for an hour, never mind 17 years!I was telling my fiance last night...his love and support, and the support of our kids...I couldn't have done this. I remember back in February, when he came to the last of my "classes", when we were walking out the door, he said, "Are you really going to be able to do this? Can you make all these changes?" Last night, he told me how amazed by me, my strength, my determination, and my dedication to this life style change. Every day I am truly amazed by the stories I read here on this site. Everyone's successes carry over into mine...as I take from them life lessons, support, and friendship!
I find that I'm using my treadmill more and more! If I don't work up a back-drenching sweat, I don't feel I've worked hard enough! I find that when I am getting tired on the treadmill, and want to slow it down....there's a little voice in my head that says....C'mon, Anne...you CAN push yourself harder for another 10 minutes!!! And then, before I know it, a half hour is gone!
I don't see how folks could ever regret the choice for weight loss surgery! I was thinking the other day...I truly intend to lose almost 1/2 of my body....and as this happens, I'm becoming twice the woman! I'm proving to myself...after an abusive (mental and physical) marriage that's been over for 10 yeras....that I am worth this! I'm worth the time I spend for myself working out! I'm worth a membership to the gym! I'm worth healthier foods...even if they're more expensive. I AM WORTH IT! If anyone reads this blog....YOU'RE WORTH IT, TOO!!!
My goals I've set are getting easier to attain! Exercising is easier and more enjoyable...the clothing size...everything! Heck, I'm half way to..."lose 100 pounds after weight loss surgery." Half way!!!!!!
Each pound that ticks away, I see my knees feeling better...my heart isn't as taxed, my breathing isn't as heavy...Ya know...Last weekend I was at my brother's house, and I crossed my legs....I didn't even realize I was doing it, until I looked down....What a surprise for me!!!
So, now, I head to the shower...it's work time....and I'm sad to say it's not "work-out" time. Man, I can't remember ever feeling this way about exercise....LOL!
