My body is changing. I’m not losing weight on the scale so much, and the inches aren’t falling off…and yet they are.

I don’t know how to explain this, but I can tell my body is changing. I look in the mirror and I know it’s different. It’s such a tiny thing, but things are happening inside of me. I went to scratch my arm the other day, and it caught me off guard because there was the form of a taught muscle starting. Take in mind, I have 100 pounds of extra weight on me. This is no small task I’m on…any changes are going to take time, but something is happening.

I started walking in June, and started with my trainer in September. Nothing happened that I could sense walking the 3miles a day, 4x a week. My body got stronger, healthier, but I didn’t feel any shifting. It was all adding up…and when I kicked it into higher gear adding the weight training, a light switch went on…something happened.

I’m feeling positive inside, which is a huge motivator. I’m making better choices daily. I’m thinking before I decide on putting something in my mouth. It’s happening automatically now. I don’t want to undo the hard work I’m putting in. I think I’m on my way…I don’t expect to reach the end of my journey until next year. By then the habits will be ingrained in me. Today I went out of my way to try a new protein shake that my trainer had made for her clients. She has some of her protein shake recipes at a local cafe, and we can go in and order from the 6 smoothies she has on a special menu for her clients. I wouldn’t have given it a shot before, but I was pleased…and it made for a great lunch. Anyway, I feel good….I still have a long way to go, but mentally I’m ready for the long haul. That’s a nice thing to feel and say.
