In the past I have had a typical on again off again relationship with the gym. I’m sad to admit that I didn’t go once for the entire month of October. I probably went 5 or 6 times in November. But, the second week of December, I was inspired. Since then I have gone at least 3 times a week, but usually closer to 4 to 5 times a week. Unfortunately I haven’t lost any weight. I gained a few pounds when I was in California in December and I was super disappointed that I couldn’t get rid of them. So, on the slim chance that I have been losing inches, I took my measurements.
Since the last time I took my measurements in October, I have lost an inch and a half around my arms; one inch around my stomach; and one inch around my thighs!!!!! I couldn’t believe it! It is amazing how much this little bit of progress has inspired me to work even harder! I don’t even care that I’m not losing weight! It won’t be too long before I can fit in my goal size.
So as a reward, I bought a new pair of running shoes. Yay Nike outlet store at Colorado Mills! I got a pair of shoes that were listed at $82 for only $40! For the first time in a while, I’m excited to go to the gym tonight!
Way to go Suzy! You should post some before and after pictures!!!
Thanx! I think I’m going to wait until I actually reach my goal size before I post any pictures. I have a picture on myspace that has both of my sisters and I in it. That was one of the pictures that inspired me to work out and start losing weight in the first place. Whenever I start to get discouraged, I look at that picture, and I can tell a difference in how I look now.
