All Well and Good!
May 19
& 26, 2015
Thoughts for the Week…
The month of May is typically filled with all sorts of
celebrations…multiple parties to celebrate the end of another school year,
graduations, retirement parties, birthdays, Memorial Day gatherings, etc. The
one common item at almost all of these gatherings is not just food, but CAKE!
The scale made it apparent that I’d eaten too much cake. I gained 3.2 pounds
over the course of 2 weeks…that’s atrocious! It amazes me just how quickly a
person can gain weight, and how much darn work it takes to get it back off.
As I look back at my Blog from a year ago, here is what was going on:
At Accountability last
night I decided I needed a long-term goal. During this next week my job is to
think about where my ultimate destination will be. I know I want the fat around
my lower gut to be gone, my calves to be smaller, my arms to be less flappy,
and my thighs to be less “thunderous”. Does that mean a specific number on the
scale? Or do I just want my body to “feel” right? I don’t know yet.
Well, the fat around my lower gut is still there. Or maybe it’s just
extra flabby skin that will never go away. My calves are smaller, but I still
don’t like them. Sometimes I feel like my arms are more flappy because of the
loose skin. And my thighs are still thunderous. So…Have I met those goals? Not
exactly those goals in particular, but I can say I’ve met the more measurable
goal of a specific number on the scale. And just because I’ve gained a couple
of pounds and am above my goal weight, that doesn’t take away the fact that I’m
well and good with how my body feels right now. So according to those terms,
I’d say, YES! I’ve met my goal! Now to set a new one!
Get
Moving!
