Today is the kind of day that make all the hard work worthwhile - a day when you actually see results. Today (weigh day) is also the day that makes me shake with fear before stepping on the scale. I genuinely never know how I'll do. Some weeks I'll work very hard and lose nothing or actually gain and other weeks - weeks that I haven't been able to work out at all, I'll have a great loss. Honestly it's a crapshoot when you are menopausal.
Thankfully today - for me - it's a GREAT DAY! This week I lost 2.4 lbs. bringing my grand total so far to 30.2 - I am literally dancing on the moon right now!!!
I am convinced that if you literally don't put a time frame on your weight loss and embrace the fact that it's going to take as long as it takes, you will see results. The old me would have said - I want to hit my goal before summer. The new me is happy to say - look at how much better I'm going to look than last summer.
I have also been enjoying going through my old clothes that haven't fit in forever - and they are all starting to fit again - there is nothing better than that.
The rule of clothes - when they get too big - get rid of them. Holding onto them is giving yourself permission to put the weight back on. When they get too tight - keep them as a goal to shoot for again.
For all of you women over 50 reading this - remember we can do anything!!! I mean let's face it - if you can continue to live a normal life while in menopause - you're already amazing!!! You will succeed!!!!
Until next time..............
