Life has been really hard for me the past few months. Honestly, the hardest of my life thus far. I would like to say I have risen from adversity to new heights... but I actually feel not a lot of good has come from it all. However, I wanted to talk about the one good I can actually see (and feel) right now.
I am not sure if it is because of so much time alone, or maybe something to focus on when nothing else seems worth it. But I have lost over 40 lbs. I am at my lowest weight in over six and a half years. I go to the gym a minimum of 3 days a week. My typical workout involves either an hour of laps/water arobics in the pool, or a half hour on the treadmill followed by about a half hour of weights. Paired with things like raquetball, dance, steamroom, and some biking. I watch my calorie and carb intake, and I fill up on mass amounts of fruits and veggies. I am more focused on my health and wellness than I ever have been. I take my Metformin regularly, and I try very hard to maintain my spiritual needs along with my physical.
I still have a long ways to go to reach my goal (need to lose between 120-150 more lbs). But for the 1st time I feel like my goals may actually be obtainable.
So, life may get me down... but I will do my best not to let it knock me out.
