Well everyone I haven't posted in a while as there seems there has not been too much to post due to me being at a stall for a few weeks and its a bummer!!! But I stay upbeat and keep pressing forward. I'm between 177-178 now and I started at 215 so that only leaves about 38 pounds to my goals. I can almost taste it =) I Have been working out 5 days a week and I even began a Turbo kick boxing class that I love. I'm sore places that I didn't even know existed. You can burn between 500-900 calories an hour so it is worth the pain. I'm goona be a lean mean kicking booty machine soon and that is really cool!My Doctor told me not to worry about the stall because I lost so fast in the beginning and someone my size will not lose as fast as someone larger than me especially now that i am pretty much out of the Obease Catagory and stalls are part of the process its about learning how to trick your body into something else to get past them. I am also building alot of muscle from strength training and resistance training I have been doing at the gym. All in all I am still so thankful for my Sleeve and I know I will be a Sucess ! I'm learning new ways to cook great food but in a healthy way which is pretty exciting !
It saddens me at times that I dont have any family here to share in my successes but I still stay motivated as I have to do it for myself and no one else. It would be nice to have a work out buddy but again I cant be dependant on if or if not someone else decides they can or cant go. There are days when I dont want to go at all but I still do and even If I only go in and workout 30 mins I'm proud of myself for not giving in to the desire to go home and crawl in bed... lol cause it's easy to do! I've remained dedicated and I am so proud of myself and that is not something I usually say about myself.
Thanks again to everyone that checks in on me and leaves me words of wisdom and encouragement. It really does help !!
