It has just hit me that I'm in my final week of B4L. How can it already be week 12??? I'm not ready to take my final picture! Dag bless it.
The bottom line is that I didn't give the diet portion of this program 100%. I was certainly there for exercise...as a matter of fact, I can say with confidence and pride that I gave 110% to the workout part of this thing. Had my diet been in line, I'd have seen the scale move more. My personal goal was to see a 30 pound loss. Instead, I think it will be about half that number. Measurements will tell the full story at the end of this week. Ack. Only one more week. My "dieter brain" is telling me stupid things that wont help me in the long run. So I'm ignoring that discussion. I can't stop it, but I can certainly push it to the back where it is a more muffled voice.
I've been listening to a lecture about Inner Peace by Eckhart Tolle. He speaks of accepting the present moment as it is. At the present moment, I am stronger than I was at the start of this program and I have more energy. For this, I am happy.

We are only human Kim and to have lost half of your goal and to have stuck with the exercise part for 12 weeks is an AMAZING FEAT! I am proud of you and hope that you wont beat yourself up over this!! I look forward to hearing your measurement results as well.
ReplyDeleteI have listened and read Eckart Tolle's book "A NEW EARTH". Loved it and it helped me realize how to create calmness in my not so calm mind as well. ENJOY!
KEEP ON KEEPING ON! I know you will because that is just how you roll! LOL Be proud of yourself...here you are...more beautiful than ever and having most of the weight off for many years. That is more than many can say! Most importantly you are LIVING LIFE and isnt that why we had the surgery in the first place? I too will continue to just KEEP ON KEEPING ON!! One step at a time, one foot in front of the other! I keep saying i'm thankful i'm not putting on anymore weight with all the stuff on my plate right now....for me just staying NOT DEPRESSED is a major accomplishment and i'm moving my body almost DAILY and that feels good! Love ya girl! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION! ANd I know your hear that from MANY!! hugs, Julie
