Ok, so I know I haven't gotten small enough to fit in E's hand, but I had to share this picture Bekah took tonight. We had a really fun family evening playing in the backyard. For some reason we forget that we have a yard to play in back there. B didn't quite know what to do with himself. He ran around laughing and then plopped in the grass and sat for a little bit picking at it. Looking at all of these pictures, I am reminded of how much different life is now because of my weight loss. Last year I would have been completely winded from running around outside. Tonight, I was able to enjoy the beautiful weather with my family.
We don't realize how limited our lives become from being obese. From the range of motion to simple life activities like running around the backyard with our kids, I can definitely say that I was missing out on living because of my weight. I can still remember being worried about chairs at restaurants and people's houses because of my weight (and I still am with some chairs). I'm loving how much the weight loss has benefitted my life. I know I'm not there yet and still have a long way to go. The awesome part is that as great as this change has been so far, it will only get better as I lose more! Here are some more fun pictures from our time outside. I'm looking forward to my life continuing to improve as I lose my butter half!
My calorie intake today was really good. I had a delicious buffalo/ranch chicken dinner tonight. I completed another 6AM workout on the bike as well as my sets of crunches and planks. I'm very tired from being up so early, but what working out in the AM does for me mentally is great!
