@Hoss
My to do list this weekend; Get into the communtiy pool with my tunes and splash around for at least 30 min each afternoon1 -
So, I ask you TBBT - What is your why?
Please share what made you decide to begin this journey, what motivation do you have?
@brandi_84 This is an excellent jumping off point for a thought provoking post which embodies both retrospection and envisioning the future! I would encourage everyone to be as specific as possible; everyone wants to "look better" and "feel better", but delve a little deeper!
MY WHYS
Looking Better:
1. My son is in a very serious relationship and a wedding is most certainly in the near future. (And if they cannot get their Visa situation figured out, it may be sooner than any of us thinks!) Those pictures are forever and I do not want any negative thoughts coming into my head every time I look at them! I only want happy memories, with no regrets! And I also want my son to be proud of my transformation, which would be evident in those photos.
2. My husband has gained a few pounds since our wedding, too, but no where near as many as I have. It hardly seems fair to him. He is always telling me how much he loves me and he still calls me his bride, so he deserves a woman that is closer to that woman in appearance! It would be one thing if there was a disease or serious injury responsible for my weight gain, but it is just me being self sabotaging and basically unappreciative of the good things that I have in my life, even if there are a few things missing.
3. My husband has a bucket-list dream of going to an opera or a symphony in Vienna or Prague or London and in this dream he is wearing a tuxedo and I am wearing an evening gown. If this dream were to become a reality, I definitely would want to do it up right and look smoking hot!!
Feeling Better:
1. I injured my right knee a year ago. It is basically okay for the most part, but it will never be as good as it can be until I lose weight. I was going to physio for it, but I realized I was wasting my time if I didn't lose the weight, too, so I quit. Two and a half years ago I hurt my right foot, (boot camp) and two years ago I hurt my right ankle, (curling) and both injuries were weight related. I am too young to have to bow out of activities because I can no longer do them....I can no longer do them because I am overweight, not because I am a senior citizen!! I still want to run a 10K someday, but again, until I lose weight, training for such an endeavour would be fruitless, not to mention impossible!! I would also like to go skiing with my son's new girlfriend and her parents next time we are in Slovakia, and again, to do that I need to get in shape, and to get in shape I need to lose weight!!
2. In the spring, my blood work revealed I had a fatty liver. Apparently many people do and are not even aware! I do not eat fried foods, and I drink rarely so the culprit is the junk food that I consume in copious amounts at any one sitting!! If I keep this up, my liver will stop working altogether, and then I am dead....you cannot sugar-coat that one!!

So, every single morning when you wake up you have a whole beautiful day just waiting for your choices.
Such beautiful and inspiring words. Just the motivation we all need. Thank you!3 -
@brandi_84 I'm not ignoring your question, I will answer it when I am sitting at my desk and can type on a keyboard rather than this dinky phone touch screen. 😁📱⌨️🖥️2

Good evening!
It's been another long work week with a lot of overtime again. I've majorly slacked on checking in and am coming up with a plan to be more dedicated.
This week I did not plan, prep or log, and my only exercise came from work. While this is not a good start for the month, I did something right because my weight has come back down a little.
Last week: 176.6
Current Week: 174.5
Loss: 2.1lb
I have to go grocery shopping in the morning, and plan to go through my fridge and plan out my week and shopping list before I head to the store. I will resist the urge to get muffins. They have been my weakness, lately!
Have a wonderful night!5 -
