My first kick at the can for blog life. Here we go! In the spirit of Ray's FOOD BLOG and Body Hacking I thought I'd share a tid-bit of my life and experience with changing the process of how I have been and how I am now.
With out Ray's support and willingness to join me in this life changing plan around food, consumerism and health, I'm not sure I would have been as successful! Ray has been a huge support, my rock and my best friend and helped me through the days when I felt like caving. Although I haven't hit my goal yet, it is now well with in sight and that is SO EXCITING!!!!! I have lost a total of 54.8 lb in about 6 months!!! Yes I needed to for my health, physically and emotionally and YES I was ready! My other steady cheer leader has been my sister, with out her and her encouragement I would not have had so much fun at the gym, and she has helped me feel proud about my accomplishments! Strange that at my age I'd need these out side forces to keep me steady and boost for my self esteem, however it seems to add to my feelings of well being!
On the other hand I still feel rather out of sink when people comment about my physical body, and when those I've known for years say nothing at all it feels a little disappointing. So I think it comes down to not being matched up to how I did see myself, how I see myself now and how others observe. My mind has not caught up to my body, I don't see myself as different.
So I have 21 lb left to achieve my goal and that is great for me!
Tonight I enjoyed an awesome dinner with my family! Complete with Indian cuisine, spaghetti squash, steak and salad, can't forget the wine (one of my fav's) and desert. Yes I hurt. And tomorrow is a fresh day and back to my usual routine!
Thanks for reading.
