Yes, well, apparently last week’s loss was a fluke as expected. I knew something was off but it still made me sort of sad when I saw the number this week. Especially since I’d gained more than I lost last week so I’m at a gain net net. What a bummer. The good thing is that while I was sad and dejected, I didn’t go and drown my sorrows in some fries or chocolate. Instead I got mad and worked out. I had added 30 leg lifts on each side and 10 crunches to my work out even before I weighed myself and I just kept doing those. There are still 8 months in this year and I am in this for the long haul so we’re good but it still sort of sucks to see the sad numbers there on the screen..
Exercise is actually going ok. 2.9 is not kicking my butt as much as I worried it might and I am making it through day after day. I still dread it and hate it and blah blah but I do it and I am always grateful and proud of myself for doing it. So, there we go with that.
And here’s another shot of me with some clothes. These are the tights with a black shirt and some boots. It just shows me that I did lose weight and am getting thinner. One step at a time.
and here’s this week’s card:
Healthy for Life is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
Weight shifts like that are just a number. Know that you look fantastic. You feel healthier and definitely are. Being happy in your skin!!!!
thank you 🙂 i know it’s just a number, i just want it to be smaller 🙂 🙂
Karen, you look absolutely amazing–it is so inspiring to see what commitment and self-discipline can do. You give me hope that I can reverse this over-40 decline of my body (which I have allowed) and be fit! I find myself with the same feelings (and excuses) you had reading Cathy’s blog. Like you, I just need to decide to start.
bless you!! You totally can do it. I keep reminding myself that slow and steady wins the race!! I hope you decide soon, it was the best thing i did for myself. it’s hard but i love how much progress i made! trust me that if i can do it, you totally totally can!!!
