Goal Weight: 195 lbs.
This morning’s weight: 223
You might have noticed, my weight is staying pretty consistent. Obviously, I’d like that magic number to get closer to 195 pounds (and it will), but what you’re not seeing is the change in my body shape. My face is thinner. My waist is thinner. My legs are thinner. My arms are more solid. I’m thinning up. And people are beginning to notice. A friend sent a poster that had this written on it and it’s what gets me through a bad-scale day:
It takes four weeks for you to see your body changing. It takes eight weeks for your friends and family and it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Keep going.
Amen.
I thought about that as my group was running 440’s (one lap sprints) around the track this morning. It was cold. My knees hurt. My lungs burned. And I loved it. I loved the feeling of knowing I was making a positive change in my life. I loved being able to run again.
Tomorrow is weigh-in day. I know it won’t be a bad-scale day.
And P.S.: To all of my 5 a.m. teammates, I’m proud of you. You inspire me and hold me accountable. Thank you.
The only thing more fun than running 440s with you is doing mixed martial arts with you. Well, that’s more funNY than fun…but you get my point. Go Line 2!
Glad I can bring a little levity to our workouts. And yes, Go Line 2!
