How can that be! |
I know it’s been a long time since you’ve heard from me but I have just discovered something amazing. I have been working out like a slave with nothing to show for it, however, last week my I and my family went to California to visit my mother who is a wonderful cook. I didn’t workout even, once but when I came back to Chicago I stepped on the scale and found that I had lost 2 lbs! How can that be? Go figure. I assume my metabolism has now kicked in and is burning up fat. I’m supposed to go back to the west coast again next week, let’s pray I lose even more.
I think out of my group I lost the least amount of weight (a whopping 2 pounds), but I feel so much better physically and I even dropped several dress sizes. When I started I was a snug size 16 and now I am at the average american dress size. A size 12. Dropping from a 16 to a 12 and only losing 2 pounds, how can that be? I guess I have gained a lot of muscle mass to displace my fat. But still, I am really encouraged. This is only the begining my goal is to fit back into a 6 or maybe even a 4! None the less my initial goal has been reached already, I have way more energy now than I did at the beginning. I’m waking up before 7:00am each morning and don’t really fall asleep until 11:00pm. My diet and excercise have played such a huge role. In the past, before I had a baby and when perfection was my goal, I would have looked at myself in this position and fallen to pieces over my appearance. Now I just take it in stride and say, ‘I’m not where I want to be. . . but I’m not what I used to be.’ Now, how can that be?
