able to zip or button up. I am down 6 lbs. from where I started. I am stoked because when I do my sit ups now, instead of just a basic curl up, I can bring my shoulders off the ground and curl up so only my waist is touching. Also, when I try to do a pull up...I can clearly lift myself off the floor. Now, I know it's not a full pull up or even half of one, but considering where I started, that's cool in my book. And, hey, that's all that really matters is what I think and I like what I am seeing because of what I am doing. It is slower than I would like, but the consistent improvements in other parameters (measurement, fitness ability, clothes) ... that's enough to keep plodding along. I think what I like best about this program is all the ways I can see what is going on in this process. It's also the most tedious for me, but it's like when I was learning advanced math...when I did the homework, lectures made more sense and things went better for me. When I do all that is being asked of me from this program, I see tangible, quantifiable results. I like that.
got teased relentlessly. I was forced to eat my food or sit there till I did. Oh the nights of smashed pea face! Now there's the ultimate picture of childhood rebellion! With all the tormenting, social ostracization, stress, and boredom, food inadvertently became my sanctuary from the storm. I've lost and gained and lost and gained until I wasn't sure if I was coming or going anymore. For a brief period in my life I decided to accept my rotund fate. But the statistical reality of what my life would be like in 20 years if I didn't do something and the flapping sound of my stomach against my thighs was an alarming wake up call from my fat and proud movement. Now at 40 years old I am taking a stand. I have lost 110 pounds and gained back 25lbs. I am committed to a new life beyond the number on the scale. I am excited to be working the program with Full Circle Nutrition and I can't wait to see how my picture log evolves. I am also excited to see how my physical abilities will change over time. Right now I can't even do a single pull up or a push up. |
