This is my current view. Yup, I am blogging from the beach. Gotta love technology. I'm sitting here after my 2.5 mile walk waiting for what will be a beautiful sunset.Today I decided to take advantage of the awesome weather we are having in SF and go to the farmer's market. Typically I would drive there and park in the closest parking spot. But today I took public transportation because I wanted to walk around the city. I was enjoying myself and realized that my back didn't hurt and I wasn't winded or tired. After I walked around and bought a couple of items, I came home & decided that I would go back to the beach for a walk.
During my brisk walk, it dawned on me that not only has my body changed due to my weight loss, but mentally I've also changed. 18 weeks ago I would've been too lazy to go on a walk or would've have preferred the convenience of my car to get to places. But I'm realizing that by losing weight I am not only living but I feel alive. I have missed out on so much because of my weight & now it's the time to make up for it.
This is a beautiful picture and an inspiring post.
ReplyDeleteOne thing to keep in mind-don't forget your journey. Has it made you a different person? Have you changed during the 17+weeks? Is there anything positive that you can take from your experience thus far?
Keep up the good work but don't forget about all you have endured in the process!
Thanks Meredith. I certainly haven't forgotten the journey. It just felt so great to feel like I am taking these steps to change my life and they are actually worth it. I'm worth it. I have ways to go & the way I felt today I will reference to when I need motivation.
