Hard to believe almost a month has sped by.
If I told you I wasn't slightly disappointed by losing 5 lbs I wouldn't be fibbing. Don't get me wrong... the quality of my life has improved tremendously in the last 28 days. My energy levels and focus are off the charts. Connecting with new friends and especially reconnecting with old ones has been worth the price of admission :) So I'm not complaining about anything here... it's been wicked.
And yet...
There's a tiny part of me that for all the talk of taking it slow, and in it for the long haul feels impatient. I believe the transformation is at work in me every day. I believe that this Jan 28, I'm soooo much better off than I was Dec 28. It's just the physical manifestation of the transformation is taking longer to kick in than I had hoped. Maybe it's the good lord's way of keeping me humble. Some days no amount of support and inspiration from others can cover the fact that this is difficult stuff we're trolling around in. It's hard work and while I don't want to be a "slave to the needle" I'd be a liar if I said it wasn't important.
At the start of the weekend I want to salute all my friends who are slogging through doing their own hard work. Keep on keepin' on, my friends !
I hear you on feeling a bit disappointed and not really being that patient. The change in your mindset is a big shift. You have recently cranked up the swimming and that will show up soon. Hey, you are seeing results in your attitude. It will happen. Remember, you also got sick through part of that so I think that 5 lbs is impressive. You've lost more than a lb./wk which is definitely an achievenment.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. The results will show up soon.
