So this is what yesterday looked like ... morning wog with the dogs,then deep water aerobics, some errands and then a hike up mt tabor with a friend and then out to dinner with my husband... I can only do these things now because of all the personal work I have been doing this year... and that's the point!!! My life is better because I am participating in it!!!
I am finally almost through the program! !! 2 more days! I am running a 5k in 2 weeks!!!! So cool!!!
So what am I doing when I am not wogging , swimming or Deep water aerobics??? Yard work, Cleaning , Food prep,sewing, laundry aka all the things that need to get done!!! And I love it!!! Why??? Because I can, I am capable of performing the task... I am so excited about just being able to do things!!! So I am off to accomplish my daily task... I wish for you the good health to be able to do it too...
I wogged 30 minutes!!! Hiked 5 miles!!! Tissot today was 8 miles! !!! Mowed the lawn and grocery shopping... oh and a washed the dogs!!! Hottub them off to bed, tomorrow is edging,water aerobics,cooking and sewing... lots to do!!!
Swimming is my first love but honestly deep water aerobics is a fantastic! !! Feels good and works different muscles. ..
So I thought you would like to know what 2months on my healthy path has netted me... my weight this morning is 243lbs!!! That is -24lbs!!! So how does that translate into Inches lost; waist -2", hips -3", ribcage -2", thighs -2" each !!! Basically smaller overall me!!! I should be more motivated to workout harder, longer, whatever. .. but the reality is this is about forever and this is the pace I can maintain forever.
My Husband is taking me on a trip... He says for all I have done for him... So things you should know about me... I am Very frugal... I would never have spent my money on a 4 star Hawaiian vacation!!! But that is what he has done! !! Everything I have ever dreamed, we are doing!!! Swimming with dolphins, submarine ride, the Arizona, Polynesian Center luau show, ocean view 4 star hotel!!! And it is happening!!! So the count down has begun!!! I have to make a bathing suit and sun dresses... Then I will be ready... oh and buy a large suitcase...53 days to paradise!!!
Oregon has many lovely many attributes not the least of which is the town my mother lives in... wogging with my dogs in toys small town is always a joy!!!
Living one day at a time!!! Wogging is going well I am up to 25 minutes per day!!! Swimming a couple days per week... Portion control is going well...Hard when I haven't taken the time to cook... In sorry it is life!!!and I am feeling pretty good about it!!!
That day everything changed somehow I've already forgotten!!! how is it that I've already forgotten?!?! that was the day that I got my diagnosis of breast cancer... 2 short years ago and I la-tee-dahd up all the way through it!!! I guess I am better!!! and Time Heals all wounds and all of that jazz!!! I'm going for a run now have a great day!!!
Questions... I think it should be clear cut... the scale downward motion says thinner Lois!!! Only to a certain extent... yes I am thinner, however, the scale has barely moved in 2 weeks!!! Frustrating! !! Today I saw a girl I haven't seen in months... she looked at me and said you look amazing what are you doing??? Well I don't look amazing, I do look better but how nice that affirmation was...portion control is changing my life. Along with the exercise I am seeing a much healthier future!!! I am not the vain girl I once was... but it doesn't sucks to feel pretty...
Today was amazing!!! I did a pdx pack walk today!!! So what's amazing you might ask??? A year ago on this same walk, we where at the back... In fact I barely remember the walk I just remember concentrating on getting to the other side!!! Today, we where in front and not just for parts but the entire 4 miles!!! It was fantastic!!! Life is good...
