I haven’t weighed myself yet and I haven’t fit into anything new yet. I really haven’t seen many results from my work out routine visually. I haven’t worked out everyday as I would have liked to but I can say before when I first started I would set the number of reps and would not go over I’d do exactly as many as I had said I would. These past few days I’ve noticed I’ll reach my goal number then push myself just a little further. I’m very proud of that. I haven’t reached my goal of 45 minutes to one hour yet but I’m getting close, I now do more than 30 minutes wherein before I was stopping right at 20 minutes. I’d do all I could do in 20 minutes because I’d ache and be tired. I still ache. My oldest son, and personal trainer said well if you feel the pain when you do everyday things then you’re doing something right keep doing that. I know he’s right but that is not what I wanted to hear at that time from him, Lol. I also found the book called Eat This Not That for a dollar so I’m trying to develop some meal plans based on ideas out of the book. I also noticed that I had to tighten the tie on my pajama pants from the last time I wore them, usually I don’t just wash and dry then hop on in, that’s the only change I have noticed. It’s not much but its something to keep me motivated. I have never put so much effort into anything except raising my children. I am crawling, for that reason I have moments where I feel like throwing in the towel because I’m not where my mind tells me I should be but I know where I started from and the point I’m at right now. This is not easy, I didn’t expect it to be easy but I didn’t expect it to be so hard either. In my mind sometimes I see a before and after photo of me. The before is a picture of me not too long after my dad died 7/10 and the sad thing is I gained more weight in about a year and a half give or take a little before I decided to change things this past May. My after I’m not too small, but its only like a silhouette of me but I can clearly see I’m smiling so I must love where I’m going. I’ve seen the vision, now I just need to make it a reality. I’ve made so many changes and I am very proud of myself. I’ve done for me the almost impossible, erased all I had heard and retrained my thoughts. Stop saying what it’s too late for me to achieve and showing myself with effort I can still accomplish what has been said to be the impossible. I’m crawling to my goal but I’m still on my way. I make changes constantly to ensure my success. For that reason I am healthier and renewed.
Love this post..very inspirational. You are doing great!! 🙂

Awesome job! This whole journey isn’t just about the immediate visual results, so much of it is how you FEEL. And an even larger amount is making permanent changes. Slow progress is okay with me – because it’s permanent progress.

My mind knows that the longer the better the odds are I’ll keep it off but yet I’m still on the look out for that next big thing. You are absolutely correct and that is the reason why I push myself even harder to stay motivated. I know I didn’t gain it overnight so quick results haven’t worked in the past and it won’t work this time either. Thank You for your kind words and motivation. I’m determined to see this through. Thanks again.

You’re more than welcome. I know how much it means to be supported and motivated, and I too get that feeling when stepping on the scale of “Why can’t it just all be gone now?” But I know if that happened, I wouldn’t have a story, I wouldn’t be building all this pride in myself.
You can definitely do this, I’m willing to bet you’ve gone through some much harder stuff than calorie counting and working out.
