Having patience

Aug 11, 2009

I have to keep reminding myself that any weight loss is a good thing and to be patient!! I still look in the mirror and have a hard time seeing any significant change, but after losing 68 pounds, I know that others are seeing what I can't seem to.
 
I've been struggling with a cold for a couple of weeks, and I'm sure spending last weekend outside for 19 hours straight in the damp weather hasn't helped. But, I proved that I can still pull and all nighter!  Aug. 7 & 8 was the Allegan Co. Relay for Life, and as a member of my church team, I hung in there until the heavy rains forced us to pull up our tents about 7 am and leave 5 hours earlier than we were supposed to.  However, I did manage to walk 3 1/4 miles, and would loved to have done more. But, I still have a few gout issues, so I took it pretty easy. Six months ago though, I would have struggled to make 1/4 mile, so I've come a long way!

In the past month, I've seen two of my bariatric classmates, and boy...DO THEY LOOK FABULOUS!!!!  Way to go Marcy & Elaine!! 

There's not much else to report at this time, so until next time...good luck to all my OH friends and KEEP LOSING!!
