A new Monday!
Last week was pretty much wasted. My headache lasted almost 3 days and by the time it cleared, I was in “defeated” mode. I was annoyed that I’d missed some workouts and frustrated that I was lacking the motivation I needed to jump back in. But today is a new Monday!
Terri is right.. my body is beginning to show a little progress and it’s doing exactly what I want! I’m not complaining about the extra weight or added inches. It’s just a new way of thinking. For years I have used weight as my “slacker” guide. Last December I noticed I weighed 10 lbs more than the previous year. I immediately jumped into emergency action and the weight was gone by Feb 15th. But now… I know I’m going to be gaining weight, and I know it’s good.. but it’s still scary. I’m just about to cross the 120# line. I’m in better shape now than I’ve ever been in my life. But I feel like I’m jumping into a cold swimming pool. I just don’t know what the norm is. How do I know what a normal weight would be for me if I were all muscles? Perhaps I should stop weighing myself and start using my waist measurement as the slacker guide instead.
I’m also sure Terri’s right about the added inch to my butt. My husband even made a comment earlier in the week about how nice my butt looked when I was wearing a pair of warm up pants. I laughed it off at the time, but by golly.. I see a beginner bubble! :-)
This morning I woke up fresh and started with a clean slate. I ate a good breakfast and had a great workout! I feel energized, motivated and excited about my progress. Life is good!!
