Better and stronger
I want to says thanks and hugs to the ladies that commented on my blog yesterday. You made me feel alot better and I was able to pull myself together and make the most of the rest of the day. I am feeling alot better today, I guess my emotions just got the best of me. I think it has alot to do with my grandmother. At first she was a wreck and since I am the closest one to her (besides my real dad and he is well…dont get me started on that) I had to keep on my game face and be strong for her. But she has really bounced back and now that she has her new pooch she is doing alot better than any of us imagined. So maybe now that I know she is gonna be able to do this on her own, I am finally allowing myself my time to grieve. Its the only thing I can come up with. So I am dealing with it, I did glance at a picture of him today and had to put it away. Its just still too sharp right now.
But on a lighter note, I am totally rocking this lifestyle change. I am completely in the zone. No crazy hunger pains, no cravings…nothing. Just a strong desire to sweat! I came in today and did my strength training on my stay-ball. Last week I only did it Wednesday because I was so sore afterwards I could barely squat to pee! So maybe today wont set me back again. I did 25 minutes on the bike last night and decided I better stop because it was going on 8:30 and I cant exercise late and then go to bed. I am too wired to sleep. But tonight after supper I will either go for a walk or get on my elliptical. Probably the machine because the weather is sorta iffy out there right now. Looking like storms again (not severe though thank goodness!) so I dont want to get caught in a downpour. Its gonna be like that here again all week so exercise inside it will be!
I’m in a really good place right now and I sure hope I stay like this. I can see the light at the end of the weight loss tunnel. And when I get there I know its not over, its actually only the beginning. Getting it off was hard but keeping it off will be harder. But I can do it, I will never be fat again. Mark my words!
So thats it buddies! Hope everyone is having a good Monday and having success with their lifestyle changes too!
I am so glad you are feeling better today. And you are right abt the losing weight/healthy lifestyle thing, it is JUST the beginning for us, isnt it? Reaching our goals is not the end, it is the starting point for the REST of our lives. We are doing it! I am so glad
I meant to ask how G’ma and the doggie were doing! Glad they are doing so well!
I am first time reader to your journal, but wanted to say CONGRATS on losing so much weight. You are truly an inspiration! You will be to your goal in no time!

I know you will be one of those that keep it off girl! Keep up the good work!
i’m glad you feel much better….and is so true is not the end but the beginning…..to fight to keep it off for good….

You have done a great job! I have made the same promise to myself (after reaching goal weight and blowing it!), that I will NEVER be fat again.
Glad to see yoo are back to your self…only better!!
