working hard!!! been awhile since I posted
Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all doing well. It's been awhile since I posted anything as I've been really busy with work. But i'm back to reading the boards and hopefully participating more on this site.
Well, I lost 5 pounds this week! So that's the good news. I hadn't been losing weight on the scale but had been fitting into clothes better and noticing smaller legs, arms, and my face isn't as round, so that's all good. To see the scale move was even better.
have to be honest, I faltered a couple of weeks ago. Got scared I couldn't do this. Got scared of the hard work ahead, got scared of really accomplishing my goals. Funny to say I got scared but it's true. Self doubt creeps in. "Can I do this? Am I worth all of this hard work? Will I be able to do this? What if I fail? What if I'm not worth it?"
All horrible things that I battle with daily. But I'm back on track. I WILL NOT self-sabotage. I will not let myself talk myself out of doing what I know I can and will accomplish!
Still going to the gym and now it's back to 6 days a week. (there were a couple of weeks where I only went 2 times a week. And I ate cookies, I ate candy, I ate bakery things.). But I looked in the mirror and said "What do you think you are doing?! Why are you doing this to yourself? You will not self-sabotage!"
I told my trainer what was going on and we sat down to focus. We have set a goal of losing 35 pounds Christmas. We have set a goal of eating right all 6 days of the week, working hard at the work outs 6 days a week, and just doing the best job I can do.He will do his best on our 2 days a week together to really push me.
I may have fallen down and skinned my knees a couple of weeks ago, but I'm back up and running. I have the band aids on my knees and those wounds will heal and go away. I will continue on this journey and win it.
Thank you to those of you who have written notes to me on my page when I wasn't coming to this site because I was busy and felt guilty for messing up. I appreciate it!
Take care, God Bless, and happy August!
Vickie
Been thinking about you and happy to see you are still around and doing so very well! ~Blessings~
I am so proud of you Vickie! You are really making changes! LOVE YOU!!!! Julie
So glad you are back! I have been thinking of you. Beth
Way to go Vickie :<) - You are worth doing this. Glad to see you back and ready to go strong. Happy sunday :<) - Paul
I think you are doing a great job! You have done so much already. I understand the fear of actually reaching your goals because I lost a whole lot of weight many years ago and had to adjust to myself and all the changes in my life. I didn't even recognize myself in the mirror and had a hard time shopping in the regular clothes at the store. It was wild! Hang in there, Vickie. You have worked hard, you deserve to look and feel good....And you don't want to be back here fifteen years from now trying to lose weight again like I am. You are worth it!
