So Close!
It certainly has been a while. I suppose an update is in order. Here goes...
When does 2 minutes feel like 2 hours? When you are jogging. I started jogging during my cardio. I began with alternating 5 minutes of walking and 2 minutes of jogging. It was definitely a challenge. It still is a bit difficult but I actually like it. Last week I decided to change it a little and lowered my walking to 3 minutes at a time. Once I began the jogging, the weight just starting falling off.
I am still working with my personal trainer and luckily the sessions have not been as painful as they used to be. I'm not sure if it's because my body is getting used to it and I'm getting stronger, or because he is slacking (I doubt he is slacking). I had a training session on my sons birthday. My trainer was such a nice guy and drove Mike around in his "race car". My son LOVES cars. He saw my trainers car one day (Camaro) and said, "Oo I wanna ride in that!" He loved every minute of that ride too! After my training session that day, my trainer set me a mini goal. My goal is to get to 199lbs. I am really working hard to reach that point. It has been at least 5 years since I have been under 200 lbs and I am ready to get back under it. I am very happy to say that as of today, I am at 204 lbs. I cannot believe how fast this is actually going. At the beginning I would always think, I don't want to wait 6 months or a year to be that weight. But now, 5 months in, it feels like the time is going by so quickly. If I keep it up, I might actually be able to stop wearing a shirt at the beach this summer. Even better, I might be able to wear shorts!
I have another training session this week since last weeks session was free. I actually look forward to going to the gym during the week. It relieves stress when I'm stressed out and allows me to think really clearly while I am walking and jogging. I love the way I feel and the way I am starting to look. My clothes are getting bigger and that is a very, very great feeling. I do not have a single pair of pants that fit me. This time it is because they are all to big.
Our oldest son is turning 16 on November 3rd. We are having a huge party for him. We are inviting all of our family from out of town. While I know that the party is for him, it will feel really good to see their reactions when they see my change. I have not seen most of them since I dropped all the weight.
