Wow, it’s been almost 10 weeks since I have been home. How time flies when you have a mission. So much has happened and so much has changed in my life. I have been going to the gym 5 days a week for 9 1/2 weeks now. My body is changing, my fat is firming up and I am learning that I can commit to doing what is right. I am still fast food/junk food free. Every day is a new day and I look forward to what each day holds. I am learning that success is NOT just measured by the numbers on a scale. I have decided to not concern myself so much with those numbers. I am looking at the whole picture. I am looking at pounds lost, inches lost and body fat percentage lost. I am trying to take pictures each month so I can visually see the differences. My clothes are fitting better and I am feeling much better. I used to not want to go anywhere because I had no energy. Now it seems as though I am never home. When I have an errand to run it seems as if I go and do 5 or 6 things where as before I was good to do just one! Progress is measured in so many more ways than just pounds on a scale. I KNOW that plateaus wll happen AND I also know that they will break and progress will happen again. I am learning that the body is a fickle instrument. It basically does what it wants, when it wants, and how it wants. I am just staying the course and doing my part and I know that success will come if I just keep moving forward. :-)
