5.5 months and still loving this Journey
Sep 30, 2012
I am nowhere, where I thought I would be in my weight loss. I have not lost the weight I expected to by now, but I am soooooooo happy! I have learned to be healthy and active and I am becoming the person I have always dreamt of being. I NEVER moved until May of this year. I barely could walk to my car after grocery shopping. Now I exercise 5-6 days a week and love it. When I am soaked in sweat from the eliptical and my calves and thighs are burning, I push myself for another few minutes and feel like an athlete afterwards. Me, the fat girl! I swim daily. I work out in the morning and then again in the evening if i have a chance. I am that person. I ache all the time from using muscles I have never used. My arms are killing me from walking miles while carrying weights, but I love that feeling of pain. It is like a reward. I see the back fat slowly going away. I love when my husband tells me he feels new muscles in my butt when he grabs my behind now. My life is different. I am on the go all the time. I never sit down for long. My books sit on a shelf waiting for me to read them. I havent seen a movie all summer. The shows I TIVO never get watched. I have not opened a bottle of wine in months. This is what was my old life. I am sure one day I will read that waiting novel, but for now I am enjoying the new life. I worked out 14 hours last week. I did a 5K for the first time in my life. I have worn out a pair of water socks from doing so much water aerobics. I am an athlete! Thank you God!
