Just a quick update to my PLATEAUS SUCK post from a few months ago. I am stuck again but that’s not going to make me give up. I am LIVING MY LIFE! My life does not revolve around a number on the scale. Even though I am less than 20lbs from my original goal weight I am not stressing about my weight in numbers. Instead I am measuring my progress through my abilities.
Since losing 100lbs I am ABLE to:
Run 2 miles without walking (on a good day)
Jump
Cross my legs
Reach all of my body parts
Change my tennis shoes in the driver’s side of my car
Flip a fricken tractor tire
Hold a plank for 2+ minutes
Squat, kneel, bend
Stand on my HANDS
Climb stairs carrying 30lbs of dog food without getting winded
Ride roller coasters
Whitewater kayak
DO anything with adult-sized weight restrictions
See my muscles and feel my bones
LIVE! I CAN LIVE, LIVE, LIVE!
This is all that matters to me. Sure sometimes I get caught up in the number…SOMETIMES. Sometimes I get frustrated with the “look” of my body. But every day I am GRATEFUL for what my body can DO! IT CAN LIVE!
Focus on living and the number on the scale will become obsolete.
And just in case you were wondering…here is a visual of all of my weight loss plateaus over the last year…
I’mperfect Life
Oh and in the last year my body has gone from this…
To this…
Rant over. XOXOXOXO
