Needless to say, the past week has been challenging in ways other than exercising and eating right (although I’ve worked at both as best I can). My older daughter’s godfather is in very serious condition at home and not expected to live for much longer. Our impending loss is casting a pall over everything right now; life won’t be the same without his humor and his courage.
On top of everything, I missed getting the measurements and pictures done on Sunday morning. It’s unlikely that my daughter will be willing to get up at 5:30 in the morning to get the next round done, so it will have to be next week.
The pounds go up and down, but that always seems to be the case when I get near that 130 mark. That in itself is mildly depressing because once I see the downside of that, it seems the remaining pounds come off easily. I satisfy myself with the ease and delight of my morning runs outside (checking out the latest construction sites and updates as I go) and the strength I have now. My arms are becoming more defined and I’m hoping to follow up with the waist and bum soon. That seems to be where the pounds are stubbornly located and need to be “blasted away.”
I need to get back to the MAP forum and the others there to see how things are going. I’d like to finish out these last few days on a high note.
