2 steps forward, 1 step back

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Still gets you forward, but UGH it takes so long!!! I am feeling really bloated today, I think it's mostly because I really have not been bale to work out, my knee is still bothering me!!!

My plan is to get new sneaks today and to wear them until I'm not experiencing the pain any more. I am almost 100% sure that all this pain is from running/working out in the wrong footwear for me=\

Ouch! That really sucks about the knee. I always try to do as much as I can to prevent injuries because they really can set you back for a while. I hope you heal fast and that the new shoes work wonders for you! I reeeeeally need new shoes as well. Mine are tearing and the sole is coming off. haha when I get the extra money. I might make it a weight loss gift to myself. Good luck and take care! Report Inappropriate Comment

Photo comparison of 13 lbs before and after

Monday, November 14, 2011

I feel like I can tell a difference already! It's nice to see these two back to back.

I'm about 180 in the photo on the left and 166 in the photo on the right (I'm 5'7"). These two pictures were taken about 6 weeks apart from each other! =D

This is so much fun, isn't it? Remember now, the closer you get to your ultimate goal, the slower it goes. BUT, that's okay. If you are living the "move more eat less" way, your body will continue to sculpt itself with or without scale numbers moving down. Guaranteed, you will have jaw dropping success. The results will be stunning. I have to pinch myself to know it's real in my life! It is phenomenal how good you will look. Don't get me wrong, you look absolutely gorgeous now, but when you arrive near the goal, you will be a double take head turner. Why am I telling you all this? Because I wish I had done it when I was your age. So, go for it, sustain it, and proclaim it! Keep us posted along the way. Spark On! Report Inappropriate Comment

Reflecting

Monday, November 14, 2011

I was looking at my ticker this morning after I posted to a thread and thought, man that little turtle's come a long way from his starting goal! And I realized how nice it is to have that visual aid to show me just how far I've come. Normally at this point in the game in a diet, I probably would have already given up because miracles didn't happen and mountains didn't move. I wouldn't have been satisfied with the 160s, and would be grumbling about wanting to be in the 150s NOW! But now, I'm just enjoying it day by day. The first week of this month I didn't lose, but I appreciated what I had since the beginning and also appreciated that I didn't gain and I moved on! I've lost 12.6 lbs so far, that's amazing! On one hand I've always WANTED to loose weight like this, and on the other I complain WHY can't I lose weight this way. But I can, if I give myself the time and resources to do it! I'm happy with this journey, finally, and it doesn't need to consume my life to make me successful! I don't care when I get to see that turtle on the other end of the ticker, I can smile at him as I watch him inch his way towards there!

Basically, yeah, =D

I agree!! I would have been the same way without SP. Half the battle for me is just knowing where I'm at. In the past I would have been starving myself trying to eat "healthy" and when I didn't see the scale move the way I wanted, starving myself even more, until I finally gave up. I would have had no sense of my progress other than the scale. Now I feel like I'm in control. I'm staying in my calorie range, eating right, and exercising, so it's only a matter of time, even if it moves slowly! Great blog! Report Inappropriate Comment

Correction, that's 2.6!!

Correction, we got a new scale today because the old one wasn't working so hot. My new super high tech one says that I lost 2.6 lbs this week, WOOHOO!!!!

That is seriously SO exciting! I too bought a brand new fancy glass scale yesterday, and it said that I had lost 2lbs compared to not losing ANY yesterday. I'm tempted to use it for my weigh in. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK! Report Inappropriate Comment
