Lent time, I did give up meat for it. Yes, I am Catholic, I admit I don’t go to church much, but I do observe Lent.
I feel good, I thought exercising every day, would tire me out, in fact I feel I have more energy than ever. I am also taking many vitamin supplements that were recommended by a study I am in for PCOS. I think every morning I eat my weight in supplements. PCOS, does have you gain weight, it is one of the signs that you could have it.
In fact, I used PCOS as an excuse for years as to why I didn’t want to lose weight. I know now, I hid behind it.
Well I'm not hiding behind it any more. I am down 5lbs. My legs are toning down, my butt is shrinking. I know a bit hard to see in the pictures, trust me there is a difference. I had 2 patients who see me each week, say to me, "your losing weight." They noticed that is what motivates me even more that people are seeing a difference.
So I have 5 more lbs. to go to meet the dietician goal of 10lbs in 6 weeks. I know I will make it. Then its then 20lbs I need to lose by September for Cleveland Clinic wellness program so I can get a cheaper insurance rate for 2013. You know what feels the best isn’t I am doing this and losing, it the feeling I have inside me right now. I am doing this for me, and I feel so good about that.
I was walking down a sidewalk at work and I suddenly realized I was walking straight up. I never walk straight up I am always a bit hunched over. It dawned on me, I am proud of me that was why I was walking straight up. I love myself all over again. Why because for once I am doing something for me, no one else, just me. That I can tell you, is an amazing feeling. Now when I get this sexy body, I cannot wait to see what confidence I will have then.
