Today marks the half-way point in my weight loss journey. That's right. Half way. Just a few months ago I didn't think I'd make it here, although I did try to hang in there and not go backwards.
At the half-way point I find that my drive to finish has only strengthened. After all, I came this far. Why stop now?
I find that I am actually enjoying exercise. I have a 5K under my belt and am training for the next one. I'm considering a 10K and am looking ahead to a half marathon. Yes, a marathon is in my future. I know it is.
I find that I actually enjoy eating salads, eating veggies, and drinking water. I like to eat and drink healthy because I like the way it makes me feel - strong, healthy, in control. This from a person that couldn't go two days without a cheeseburger, fries and a shake.
I find that I am enjoying life more. Yeah, there are people in this world that are a pain in the ass, but they don't bother me as much any more.
I find that my relationship with my son and my husband is better. It's because I am better. It's because I like myself now.
I find that I enjoy feeling the muscles in my legs and love that my behind is smaller.
I find that I enjoy shopping for clothes now, and even try to buy stuff that shows off my figure, rather than hiding it.
Yes, I still have a journey ahead of me. I still am overweight. I still need to strengthen and tone.
But, you know what? I'm doing it. Yeah, I really am doing it.
With friendship,
Care'
