I’ve always been one to start a
goal, get part way, and stop. So, I know
that I can make progress. But then, I
reach my limit or get distracted, and instead of staying where I’m at, I lose
ground and move back to where I started, or worse. Realizing there are only 120 days left until
the end of the year gave me a wake-up call; it’s time to do something
different, to break through that ceiling.
I’m back to where I was at the
beginning of the year: 190 lbs.
Measurements: chest-40in, waist 39.5 in, hips 44.5 in, and hips at
thighs 47 in. Unfortunately, in April, I
was down to 175 lbs and although I don’t know my measurements at that time, I
know that the clothes I wore easily then, I can’t now. My goal – I want to weigh between 150 and 160
lbs. I want to be able to fit easily
into a size 10 clothes. I guess that I
should add that I’m 53 years old and 5’10”.
Throughout my life I’ve been more
or less athletic. I’ve worked out for
periods up to 18 months, but always slipped back to almost 200 lbs. I’ve always seen myself as a big woman, not
fat, but big. About 8 years ago I started
transforming myself, got to 165 lbs, but wasn’t able to get under that. I want to break that barrier, as part of
other changes I will be making.
A year ago, I left a long term,
(almost 30 year) abusive relationship. I am still trying to see myself differently. I want to transform that part of my life to;
the part that questions my ability to achieve.
I am also working to transform my career. This is a first step.
