Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation. You start to feel human. You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere. You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.

My strongest muscle right now is probably my scapula. Working those suckers in PT is making them stronger and I can tell the difference even if my PT doc thinks they need to get even stronger.

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Moana yet. Maybe this weekend. Last weekend I rented Big Friendly Giant to watch with the boy. I also rented Birth of a Nation, but time got away from me and by the time BFG was over it was too late and I was too tired to watch it. I hate when that happens.
ReplyDeleteThe winds are insane here! Days like these are why we have the wrought iron bench cabled to the oak tree in the back yard. We've seriously found it across the yard on a few occasions. Madness!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what my strongest muscle is right now, but I sure as heck worked out my ab muscles yesterday in the pool. I know this because it feels like I've been kicked multiple times in said area today. =o)
