Week In Review
-Finally got a scale that works so I’m going to start updating my current weight and going from there. I weighed in last night and I’ve gained weight which is no surprise to me. I know I’ve gained weight. It’s 12 up from my previous weight on my old scale. Too much to be nonchalant about. The sad thing is that weight is from my activities on Friday nights and Saturday nights. My previous weigh-ins were with the Dr and since I’m not going to him anymore, I need to get back on track with the weighing. For me, it really does keep me on track if I can see the number. But it’s all about not giving up, getting back on track, and finding that will power again. It’s in there somewhere! But I want to be truthful with my blog so I will start fresh with the weigh-in’s next week. It will be good for me.
-Going to see the plastic surgeon on Monday morning. I’m actually pretty excited to just see what he has to say. Do I need to lose more weight and then come back? Do I need to lose more weight and then the problem areas will just go away? Will the problem areas go away with weights/exercises/etc? I also have a lot of questions if I ever went through with a procedure. But that is a long way’s away! For me, this first visit is strictly informational. I’ll let you all know how it goes.
-My friend that I wrote about a few weeks ago that recently got diagnosed with cancer, there was a fundraiser last Sunday for him. It was truly amazing to see the amount of people in their lives that were there to support. It made me realize that if I truly ever needed anyone to be there for me, our community of friends and classmates and our community of Liberty would never leave you feeling alone. It was absolutely emotionally over-the-top to see the turn out of the event and the people that were there to show their love and support. If he’s going to have to go through this tough time, it’s comforting to know that he has so many people behind him.
-Hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Birthday Julz and Jarr!! Love you both very much!
Quote of the week:
“No matter how slow you go, you’re still lapping everybody on the couch.”
Weight gains can be discouraging if we let them be. They can also be the trigger that wakes us up to what needs to be done. Sometimes it can be so hard to get the motivation back but remember this doesn't have to be fun or easy. We already know that and we know what we have to do if we are to reach our goals. You can do this. You have already proved that by the distance you have already come.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteA little random, but I just wanted to say you are one of my favorite bloggers! I don't get as much time as I would like to blog or write comments to others, but I do get a few minutes here and there to read what others say, and your blog is one that I try to stay up to date with. You are doing an awesome job, and I know you can and will reach your goal!! Would love to know what the plastic surgeon says, because I know I am going to have to pay one a visit when all is said and done (I am waiting to reach my goal and keep it for awhile). Anyway, this is my way of letting you know I read your blog and I think you're awesome. Nice to "meet" you. :)
Not gone, just changed it up. Still watching your journey and smiling
