Proud Moments: Noticing strength in certain muscles. Even though I cannot see definition yet, my legs are getting stronger. I'm not as sore. Super good feeling!!
Today I had my follow-up for the skin issues I've mentioned in previous posts. The doc gave me a clean bill of health! On the spectrum from GOOD weird skin growths to CANCER, I am on the good side of the spectrum. YAYYYYYyyyyy but also ew.
It's a good feeling, though. In the back of my mind for the last two weeks I've had this unknown of "what if?" The suture spot on my nose seems to be fully healed! Stitches were removed from the base of my neck, middle of my back and my side. I cannot wait for the remaining three to be all healed up! I'll be able to stretch my upper body freely again. Yes, please!
GOALS FOR WEEK 5
I need to tackle my food intake. When I say tackle? I mean NFL-style tackle. I want to start seeing some results now. I've hit that point. I've been exercising for four solid weeks and I feel like I'm starting to pull out of the pathetic stage (or as I have been calling it the dark side). I don't necessarily like calling it the pathetic stage? But that's how I feel about my abilities when I look back at it. At the time I was very sensitive to it, but now that I can run a mile without falling over, it's time to tighten up the reigns. Make things count MORE.
I saw this on Pinterest over the course of the last week, and I feel like this was written for me. I don't do well when I scream on top of a mountain of how awesome of a job I'm doing. For a lot of things outside of exercising, too. I like to under-promise so I can over-deliver. I feel like, with starting my active life again this time of year might work to my advantage. I can hide under layers of clothes and coats and hopefully by the time warm weather comes? I won't need to hide. By summer I want to be stellar.
YET - i'm super nervous. I'm afraid I'm going to be the Saggy Baggy Elephant. Will I be able to tighten everything up? Or am I going to need to wear support tops and pants and live in Spanx just to keep things from flapping everywhere? Attractive.
A cold has struck our house this week as well. Just coughed up a lung just now as I'm typing this. I didn't work-out tonight simply because it hurts to breath. Itchy uncomfortable lungs. I know that isn't any kind of excuse. No excuse is a good excuse but that's how the cookie hath crumbled today-ith.
Until next time!
