Well, since my last post, I have hired a personal trainer. It has been great, as she is helping me work on TOTAL body muscle groups and building strength in my core, arms, and legs. I have also noticed that I have better balance, since starting in mid-May.
I'm getting a better handle on my nutrition, as I was VERY off last week. This week is much better and I hope to see a loss at the scale on Tues.
I'm seeing that my clothes are fitting a little better, a little bit saggy skin (I know, I have a lot left to go and lose), but that will come.
What we do today will affect how we feel and be tomorrow. What I'm doing today will carry me into my future... more healthy, clear thinking, more energy, more confidence, and most of all... LIFE with my son.
Take notice of how you are doing - take measurements, notice how your clothes fit, how people respond to you as you get healthy, take notice of how you start feeling about yourself, and how you see yourself.
Progress...Not perfection.

Worthiness...
So here is the update on my weight loss/health journey...
I have lost 5% of my body mass since Feb! I have lost a total of 28 inches since Jan. 1, 2018! I have lost 37 lbs since Jan. 1, 2018!
What has been the "secret" or change THIS time? The way that I am viewing food, my relationship with it, portion control, and the type of food that I'm eating. I'm not so "hard core" about a program - ie Eating Clean, Paleo, Keto, etc... I'm doing Weight Watchers and keeping accountable to my points, portioning out my food or weighing it... it's working!
Also... I have a PERSONAL TRAINER!!!! She is wonderful! Works really well with me with my scoliosis and back issues... just want to strengthen my whole body as I'm changing.
If IIII can do this... ANYONE can do this. You just have to make up your mind of what you want.
What I'm learning through this process is my self-worth. I am worth the effort of getting healthy. I am worth the time that it takes to cook healthy and exercise. I am worth of a happier life and living free from the bondage of food. I also have realized that I have kept my weight on (subconsciously) as a protection or barrier to not allow people in to hurt me. Since my last boyfriend really did a heart and mind job on me - it has been difficult to lose weight. Therapy and Weight Watchers have been really helping me through this process and showing me that I AM WORTHY. And so are you!
