I'll be honest with you all. Maybe I wasn't working as hard as I should have been. In my mind I was telling myself I was working as hard as I could and eating as healthy as possible. But honestly, I wasn't. I was being lazy in the gym and letting my mind tell me I was tired or wore out when I actually wasn't. And while I was staying in my caloric goals according to my tracking, I was eating things and not tracking them. That number on the scale was really getting under my skin.
I decided to start looking at old photos for some inspiration, to show myself how far I have come. Apparently I didn't really let anyone take full body shots of me. I did find a photo from March 2016 in the same dress that I wore to a friends wedding on May 21st. Like I said, my weight hasn't dropped but maybe 5 lbs in this time period but I can tell there is a body difference. My hips, belly and midsection look slimmer.
I don't have much else to talk about at the moment but I wanted to show that even I get bogged down. And even though that damn scale isn't showing any changes, there are great changes going on in my body. My sister, Mom and nephews came down the other day to have lunch with me. We went to a local park and played on the toys. I would have never been able to climb up the ladders or slide down the slides a year ago. I even ran with the 2 year old and I wasn't dead tired afterward. This is the reason I started. I wanted to be able to play with my nephews and maybe, some day, a child of my own. Only time will tell but I am not giving up.
