Feeling Grrrrreat!
So I had another training session today and I am so much more positive than I was yesterday. Who needs a stupid scale to tell you that you are making progress. I was able to do a few knee push-ups; I tried doing these months ago without any luck. Went from 5 lbs to 12 lbs in hammer curls. So the scale may not be saying I am making progress but my body is saying otherwise. Honestly I am feeling great and I am holding on to that more than anything. I bought a 12 in. sub from Harris Teeter (Fridays they are $4.99 and are waaaaay tastier than Subway) and only ate 6 inches. Ate at 2:00 and was still full at 4:30. I say this is progress too. Stomach is shrinking and my muscles are growing. Scale is being evil and saying I gained but that's right I did gain....strength, energy and muscle. I will eventually lose the fat but right now I am proud of my accomplishments. I am fighting to stay positive and push through the negativity. It is a great battle so far and I have been told that I am inspiring others to get their lives together. I also have been eating throughout the day including breakfast; in fact I was hungry for breakfast when I woke up this morning. Body is starting to take in my new eating habits. Let's bring this getting healthier; it may take me a while to obtain my goal but I am mainly looking at my other goals for now. Having more energy, being able to climb steps without losing my breath; these are the goals I am looking at not the number goal. Thanks to my trainer, my family, my husband (I know he is family but he needs separate recognition), and friends for all of your positivity. Keep the positivity coming. I look forward to the day I am at my goal and just maintaining; and being able to say you all helped me get there. I feel like I am on team which is great. Team Allison; Team Alli-Cat....whatever you call me. Woohoo! Thanks again! Looking forward to more positive blogs like this one!

Yes....I was thinking of Tony the Tiger with my title.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing feat. Going to Denver and getting winded when I was up in the mountains was my trigger. I decided when I was standing on top of Loveland Pass that my days of smoking were coming to an end. I already play soccer and my girls and I are walking (although this week has been difficult). Actually, they run, I walk. Just remember, it's not the 'weight'. It is an overall how YOU feel. Muscle weighs more than fat. I don't know if you remember how muscular my legs were in HS. I had to get a waiver to go into the military because of the density of my legs. I look forward to reading more of these posts.
ReplyDeletePS...You have been wonderful for me too. I'm glad we are having journey's together.
I remember you were a great running partner in High School. You were the first and only person that I could keep a steady speed and run with....I wish you were closer! We could walk together....move to Charlotte....cause I refuse to move to Oklahoma! :-)
ReplyDeleteHAHA I would love to move to Charlotte... Need a job though. I have looked into jobs in North Carolina, but nothing comes up in the entry level there. The only place with entry level is DC metro for 24k a year. Ummm not going to happen!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am sure the cost of living isn't worth even trying to go to DC. Eh...we'll virtually motivate each other.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this post!! And dang girl, 12 lbs weights?!?! :) Grrreat job!
