Week Sixteen of REAL...

The 7th: weigh in: 241.2 lb. Two SEAL puppy reps. Power outages does not make for restful sleep. I wish I could be like one of our Founding Fathers, Dr. Benjamin Rush. He felt like he was wasting time when he slept four hours every night. I am learning to be healthy. I don't need to hide. Physical therapy, without weights.

The 8th: weigh in: 241.6 lb. Woke at one in the morning, again. It's become a habit. A bad habit. Walked a mile with my sister.

The 9th: weigh in: 242.6 lb. Am I stressed? Definitely. 3k walk, plus lots more, with my sister. Race for the Cure is always an amazing experience. All those people hoping for a cure for breast cancer, most because they have either lost someone to breast cancer or know someone who has had it. I'm tired, in a good way.

The 10th: weigh in: 242.2 lb. Did anyone manage to see the license plate of that truck that hit me? That's what I feel like, today. Blessedly, I know it won't last. In a few days, I'll be feeling better again.

The 11th: weigh in 240.8 lb. One SEAL puppy rep, which was pretty good considering how I'm feeling. My sister and I had planned on going for a walk, but I definitely wasn't up to it. We did have a good chat, while she helped me pick up my work. Thanks!

The 12th: weigh in: 241.2 lb. One SEAL puppy rep. My shoulders are still a bit stiff from carrying my water in a backpack at Race for the Cure. I'm not eating healthy, today. I am not feeling safe, not even a little bit.

The 13th: weigh in: 239 lb. Waist circumference: 40". "I'm fighting to be healthy. I will not hide anymore, because hiding never kept me safe." One SEAL puppy rep. One-mile walk, with my sister. It's fun when she's on vacation. :-)

  1. You never cease to amaze me with all of this. I wish I could have some of your motivation melt through the computer into me. I desperately need to start walking or riding my bike or something. Keep up the good work!

  2. Thanks, Abby. I won't pretend for a minute it's easy; it isn't. But I think I'll write a post for next week about motivation. It's tough, but doable.

Don't let those who think they're smarter than you fool you or scare you. Those "archaic" laws that banned abortion did NO...
