Transformation Tuesday

Over the last couple of weeks, about once/twice a week, I have been changing clothes and going for a walk downtown before going to pick up Monster. I have mapped it out from a couple of blocks to 2.5 miles as of today. I was able to walk that in 45 minutes today, and that included dropping off and picking up some signs that I used for a conference I was in charge of last week. 

I was in a really cranky mood all day - just blah. Everything was getting on my nerves, I was tired, moody and just wanted to eat. As soon as I changed into my workout clothes, sneakers and put in my headphones my mood started to lift. Within about three blocks, the sunshine and moving my body, my mood started to lift. As I was walking, I started to think about the last year and how far I have come in my fitness. Some folks would think 2.5 miles is nothing, but I would have never been able to walk that a year ago. I've lost 87 pounds to date and I exercise at least six hours a week, most weeks more than that. Last week, I logged over 50 miles for the week! I am so proud of myself for the work I've put in. 

I'm really starting to notice the changes in my body too. 

I need to take my measurements this weekend. I'm hopeful that the scale has moved a little bit down since I didn't lose anything last week, but my eating has been terrible so I'm not holding my breath. But, tomorrow is another day...I will make better decisions than I did today. And, that in itself is a transformation from the past. 

Until next time,
