There is something to be said about mobility. Before I go on about this, let me go back to a place where there is not a lot of mobility... the one where I was 256 pounds years ago and where I was headed to again. Before starting this journey I had gained enough of my weight back I had lost (45 of the 85 lost) that I was again starting to loose my ability to move. The little things we take for granted, tying my shoes without holding my breath, being able to get down on the floor and back up again, and the big one ... crossing my legs without having to hold onto my leg so it wouldn't fall off the other. Well I am just finishing up on my week 3 on the pro-energy plan and I have to say I am super happy, I am weighing in tomorrow and hoping to hit the 10 pounds off mark, however the coolest thing is I can cross my legs again! It might seem small but to me it is like getting to the top of mt. kilimanjaro .. Victory! The other big thing is being able to put on my runners and tie then up without having to not breathe, this is because my tummy is slowly disappearing!!! I was measured last week after my Eurowave appointment and I believe it was over 5 inches off the middle, I'll take it! This morning I joined a group of ladies on a run that I used to do lots with... they are a great bunch! There was a few of them starting out again or nursing injuries so it was great for me, running buddies!! Well jogging around promontory up and down hills at over 200 pounds wasn't real fun, but we paced at 1 min running 1 min walking to complete 3.5 km's so it felt like a great move forward! I have to say to date the largest reward in having the opportunity to join "team pro-energy" at Gente bella is that I have hope again to be fit and healthy again...
I encourage anyone reading this to also write your "victories" below, sharing is what inspires others and we could all use inspiration!
