This post is going to be about some of the differences I'm noticing at this point in my journey. During the weeks that I was having major drops each weigh in, I was seeing huge differences. I could see changes in my face and stomach. I noticed it was easier to tie my shoes and move around. Bekah would mention that I wasn't out of breath from simple activities anymore. I also noticed that the slight wheeze I would have when lying down went away. These were very noticeable things that were the results of major changes to my body. Now I've hit the slow and steady part of my journey. It isn't as easy to notice the changes because they are happening at a more gradual rate. Also, I find myself forgetting what it was like before this life change. The major differences are becoming normal to me, which leaves me desiring more change. It is a very frustrating time, but I have to remind myself that it is all part of the journey. I know that if I allow myself to give in to the frustrations, I can set myself up for failure, and ultimately forfeit my journey. I am not going to let that happen. I will combat the temptations to grow frustrated, with reminders of where I've come from. I'll rely on my family (especially Bekah), my friends, and all of you to hold me accountable to completing this journey. I'm not going to give in. I will lose my butter half.
My food intake was great today. I had two salads today (which were both great!), so it was a little bit harder to hit my calories, but I did it without sweets! The most exciting part of my day is that I completed a seventy minute workout tonight. I haven't ridden that far yet. Let me tell you, I am wiped out! I have my twenty-fifth weigh in tomorrow morning. I know this week I had two bad days for the amount of sweets I ate, so we'll see how I did.
