Well, I’ve done it again! No tentative testing of toes on the scales this morning. No slowly easing my fat a$$ on in hopes of preventing the pointer from skyrocketing up a few extra pounds. Not today. I attacked those dammed scales, by golly, I pounced on ‘em and decided it is what it is. What it is is down 3.5 pounds this week! Say HELLO 185.5!!! I stood there in front of the mirror in my undies and did the old eyeball critique. Wow, I thought, I’m impressed!!! :shock: Agog! 17.5 pounds total since I started my blog on April 23rd.I’ve managed to whittled away most of the fat I was mortified to discover on my knees. I was running and noticed my kneecaps jiggling. FAT!!! I felt horrible, then I was scared cause I wondered if I had “old people knees” already. Oh God No!!! Not at 49. Funny how now I’m relieved it was the fat knees I’d first been mortified over. :) My thighs almost don’t touch. And something that has bothered me most of all is disappearing. My side fat. Yes side fat. I pack on weight on my upper body like it’s nobody’s business and I had fat rolls making creases on my sides. I am ready to wear form fitting tank tops…sans rolls! YAY! Finally I’ve got something that appears to be working for me! Fingers crossed, toes crossed ahhh hell, eyes crossed, too, but only briefly!
Got in a 5 mile run this morning and it surprised me as I was only going to do about 2 just to top off yesterdays 6.5 miler. I can’t express enough how much the cross training on my bike has helped towards improving on my distance and also, aided my recovery after running. LOLOL wish I had stumbled onto this months ago, but I had read how a lot of stretching afterwards is enough. Should have known old oddball here was going to have to do it her way! Just goes to show that we should keep an open mind to stepping outside “the boxes”. ;)
