I really kicked it up a notch today. I did a 10 minute warm-up on the elliptical trainer, 30 minutes of weights, and 30 minutes on the recumbent bike. I feel that I did really well today, and the weights are starting to feel lighter, so I'll probably have to increase them soon.
I lost 1 more pound, so now I'm at 207 lbs. Its taken me so long to get to where I'm at, but its so worth it. Adding years to my life, stamina & I'm happier. Its still hard to be happy at this weight, but I"m a lot happier than when I was 249 pounds. I can do things that I couldn't do before and it gives me a sense of accomplishment.
I really love this picture, because its all so true. Its hard to stay fat & hate yourself. And yeah weight loss is no walk in the park, but I would much rather be upset that I didn't lose a few pounds than be angry with myself for gaining several. I hated when I could no longer fit into clothes because I had gotten too fat. That was one of the worst feelings. I don't think I've found myself yet, and I have a long way to go, but no matter how hard this ride called weight loss tries to buck me off I'm not stopping, and if I fall then I'll get back on again & again.
Doing another great workout tomorrow & weighing in. Hope I see some great numbers on the scale this week.
