Today was a good day, and a bad day, when it comes to my gym time. The good part: I was down another two pounds, which means only two more to reach my original goal of losing 50 lbs! (and that new tat I'm wanting!) After a holiday weekend, with family here, I was worried about how my eating would affect my efforts -- but was overjoyed when there was a loss on the scale!! It made me smile. The bad part of the day was today was the last training session -- and I will miss having this added attention and specific workout sessions!!Now that I'm so close to my goal, its time to set another! I'll be pondering that one. But I'm still working on my 384 mile goal, I reached 194 miles today..... so I hit the halfway point!
The one thing about weight loss efforts -- they're very difficult, to be sure. But our minds can be a funny thing. When I look in mirror, I still see 'the old me' there. We're our own worst critics when it comes to judging our looks. As I was getting ready to work with Allan today, a woman in the gym said "excuse me, but your efforts are really showing." I grinned, we chatted about hard work and our self images, and she told me "You inspire me to work harder in my workouts." And that felt so good to hear!!! Me .... a chubby old chick, inspiring someone else to work out. Wow! Who knew???
If you're thinking about exercising more for health reasons, or preventive medicine reasons, or for needing to lose some weight, there's no reason you can't start now, start small, work your way up to a healthy, happy body! If *I* can do it, anyone can!
