The year is coming to a close, and I’ve been on this journey
for 24 weeks now. It’s so hard to
believe that the changes I’ve made really are becoming part of my life. I look at today’s progress picture and can
really see a huge difference. I actually
have collar bones! I am so thankful for
every pound lost – forty three of them so far.
It just makes me smile to think about.
The challenge today was getting exercise in despite my
knee. It felt a lot better today, so I
did two hour long sessions on the bike.
I was very careful to make sure that it didn’t hurt, and I didn’t push
myself very hard. But, I did want to get
the exercise in. I also went for an MRI
on the knee. I have a follow up
appointment with the orthopedist on Monday, so hopefully I’ll have some answers
then. Until then, I’m just going to be
careful with my knee and do the best I can.
The surprise today was just seeing the progress picture and
realizing that all this hard work really is paying off. I slog through day by day, and I try to make
as many good decisions as possible. But,
I get caught up in the numbers on the scale and lose track of the bigger
picture. Today, seeing a smaller picture
really did bring home that it is working.
I am getting smaller. And, even
though it’s a goofy smile, I’m happy.
That’s a great way to end the year!
