To say that my Saturday was active would be quite an understatement! I started the day with a long walk, weighed in, then hit the yard work with a vengeance. Rain has kept me out of the yard the last few weekends, so my to-do list is piling up. After a few hours of dirt and sweat, I finished up with washing and waxing my car before heading inside for a much-needed shower and to get ready for a fun date night with my husband.
My goal this past week was not perfection but to start falling back in line with good habits. I worked out each day, even if it was squeezing in a walk during my lunch hour. I know my eating still has plenty of room for improvement, but one step at a time is fine with me.
I lost a little over a pound. In the grand scheme of things, with as much weight as I need to lose, that isn’t much, but I am thrilled. It is the second week in a row that I have had a loss. After months of non-stop gaining, that is significant. It means I slammed on the brakes and am finally turning this mess around to move in the right direction again.
No one could tell by looking at me that anything has changed. That’s okay. All the changes right now are happening where they are most important for the long haul: in my mindset, in my faith in myself, in my determination, in my will to do the work. The rest will follow. Trust me.
