So...I was off yesterday and sometime in the afternoon decided I would check Facebook. Pictures from the Big Oak Run Saturday were posted so I took a look and here's the thing...I look even worse than I did in my before pictures that I posted on this blog in January. It was quite the wake up call. I'd had a couple of compliments about weight loss earlier in the week, my pants seemed to be a little looser, I was feeling pretty good about myself, then WHAM! Reality check!
Chin rolls in some photo's, belly rolls in others and the occasional pic featuring both.
So what happened next? Well I immediately went straight to the kitchen to see what I could eat. How counterproductive is that? Fortunately since I have been trying to eat better all I could find was a piece of reduced fat cheese, some hummus and carrot chips and vanilla light soy milk, when what I really wanted was to have some quality time with my two best guys, Ben and Jerry.
Why is change so slow to come? What happened in a matter of weeks in my 20's seems to be so agonizingly slooooowww in my 40's! Especially when I've been working so hard. I work out almost every day! My rear end is sore constantly, so much that it almost seems normal. If I'm not hungry every night, I could at least have a little something, if you know what I'm saying, but I don't want to eat my results. According to the weight loss experts, 1 - 2 pounds a week is not only normal, but optimal, and on an intellectual level I know this. It's just discouraging without results that can be seen.
Well, I suppose that's enough whining for now. There are only two choices at this point, keep at it or quit. I don't want to quit (been there, done that). I guess we'll see what I'm made of. Until then...
Stay Healthy,
Tami
