Noticing the little things

Jul 13, 2010

I was just starting to think that any noticeable progress toward a healthier and firmer body was over. I was asking myself, “Is maintaining my current weight going to be enough motivation?” I really have no complaints about my progress. I truly feel successful and really like the way I feel and look. I have not lost any weight since January, which is good as there is not really anything left to lose and my Dr. recommended I maintain my current weight and % of body fat, at my March, 1 yr. surgaversary appt. So, my goal has been to firm up my skin and muscles, which as many know is a very slow process.  I was just starting to think I am not getting anywhere, nothing is changing. Well, low and behold….I was brushing my teeth and looking in the mirror when I noticed these dimples below my collarbone. Wow! My mom hates how her bones stick out at her collarbone and always wears shirts that cover them up. Not I... sometimes I cannot stop starring at them now.  Then not a week later I went to sit down and had my hand on my thigh when a very defined muscle, which I have never noticed before, appeared under my hand. I had to stop and look at it in amazement. I even showed it to my husband.  I think he thought I was a bit crazy but it is still those little things that keep me going.
