Well last night I did not go to my fitness class. There were big storms about and I had a ways to travel to get there.
So instead I watched EWL while on my glider. Got in 5 miles so figured that was good. That means yesterday altogether I walked 7 miles, ran the bleachers and ate clean....the results on my scale....0000000...nothing, didn't budge not even a tenth of a pound. Good Golly Miss Molly what's a girl to do
Not gonna take it personal and keep on keeping on.
Last night while on my gliders some past thoughts came to mind. I remembered a time long ago when I lost 40 lbs and in a flash I was back at a K-mart store. The vision was crystal clear and I could see myself standing at a clothes round looking at black jeans. I remember the event like it was yesterday, right down to where I was standing within the store. That day I picked up a pair of black jeans in a size 5. It was a happy time because those jeans represented all the hard work and changes in my life.
I was back in school, divorced and had finally found myself again. I also remember going home....my house was tiny only 750 sq feet, but it was mine
) slipping on those jeans and looking at myself in the mirror. I literally pranced around the room, I was beyond happy.
And as I remembered it last night I realized that I was again experiencing the same feelings. I hopped off my gazelle, found Sweetie and quickly hugged and kissed him. Then I thanked him for helping me. He was really puzzled about that. But I explained he hasn't complained, not once about the time and efforts I've been putting in during this journey. In the past I would never go out at night after dinner...now I am gone three nights out of the week. That cuts into "our time". Nor does he say a thing when the alarm goes off at 4:15 and I am out the door now 5 days a week. He doesn't understand why his support is such a big deal to me, but it is.
I woke up this morning happy... simply because I was reminded of the girl in the mirror a long time ago and know she's back again staring back at me.... so for me life is good
