I was very happy when I stepped on the scale this morning. I didn’t have any coffee or breakfast yet, I never do when I am going to weigh in. I put on my catpuccino socks and grabbed the scale, got my phone ready, and stepped on the scale. I weighed in at 296.0 lbs, which is a 2.3 lbs loss, yay! Very happy with those results.
I was just talking with my husband while folding some laundry. About the time I started walking on the treadmill. It was in December 2014, I believe I was at a weight of 265.3 lbs. At that point, I had already been losing weight by counting calories. We think I could start walking on the treadmill again at about 280 lbs. I don’t want to get on the treadmill again too heavy as I don’t want to be at fault for breaking it hehe.
When I started counting calories again this time around. I tried walking on the treadmill, and it did something funny that worried me so I stopped. And we agreed I need to be at a certain weight to get back on it. Meanwhile, he suggested we take walks. My argument with him was that if I felt confident enough to walk outside, I would have been doing it a long time ago.
He said you won’t get used to it until you do it. I get that. I am very self-conscious right now. I am one of those people that worries about what others think. And I know I should not, but I do. That and the fact when walking if it s windy, and it usually is around here. My top will come snug to my body, primarily the front or even the back for that matter. And NO, I don’t want people seeing my fat body, no one wants to see that. That is why I decided to start on the treadmill, and then lose enough weight I felt confident enough to take it outside.
I would more than anything want to be outside walking. It is good for you, the sun is good for you. The weather is getting better. My husband said ‘We don’t have to walk on the streets where we live. We can find a park or something that is for walking.’ And it’s not out in traffic. That is a good idea. You never know what nut job is going to be driving by. Hopefully, there isn’t a nut job at the park either LOL.
I told him, I am willing to try it, and see how I feel. I know it would be good for us. And it is something we are doing together. Eventually, I want to get back on a bike. I miss bike riding so much.
Alright, sorry I had to vent. But yeah I am very happy with the results, yay go me. Alright, until next time. God willing it all continues to go great.
God Bless
Emily
