As I sit here now and view the lighting and feel the thunder as it shakes my house on this rainy Saturday, I thought it would a perfect time to update my progress on this journey. As of yesterday I am now down a total of 11pds and weigh in at 178. (started at 189). I am happy with myself and people are congratulating me however I know the discipline/lifestyle change it will take to get to my final goal weight. Should I be estatic over this, not really, happy, you bet since I can see a difference in my body! Am I determined to lose more???, OH YEA! I still have 38pds left to go before I get to my final goal.
Here are some photos of me at as of yesterday and today (4/15/11 and 4/16/11).
Now I haven't really put up full side photos, so if you have any comments, be kind :)
On a different subject, was planning to do some house work that is needed today. I had borrowed a steam cleaner from a friend and we had planned to use it today on the carpets downstairs (upstairs is all hardwood) but with the damp rain, we chose not to because it would take quite a while for the carpet to dry. So that has been put off for yet another weekend /sigh...I wish the weather would just get warm already!! I also wanted to start priming the walls for painting in the bathroom but with the gloom again, no go. :( So that leaves me just to relax today, do housechores, or whatever else I want to do. We did manage to get to the gym this morning. I have to say, if I stay sedentary for too long, my body WANTS to exercise and go! I almost have to force myself to learn to relax all over again.
I am looking forward to next weekend, Easter. I want to get down to my home church for Easter service, spend time with family, and see friends of the family that are like family. Easter is one of my favorite holidays along with Christmas. It's going to be a good time.
Isn't this bunny so cute!! I saw the Build A Bear commerical to build your own bunny and I would like to go do that and get one! Well maybe for my niece ;)
Well not much else here today, so till another time and I leave you with a song from my favorite band, Paramore.
You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. It can be such a chore sometimes. I never have the urge to workout, I wish that would happen to me.
