Today was one of those eye-opening kinda days! By that I mean, I really got hit with some more reality about myself. First off, this morning I did my 3 mile walk. It was nice, but damn it wore me out. I didn't get a real restful sleep last night so this morning when I woke up, I felt awake, but my body did not feel rested so yeah, that 3 miles kicked my ass! Anyway, I checked my weight. I seemed to have stalled in weight drop, or then again maybe I didn't, I'm not sure. A few days ago, I can't remember exactly which day, but I checked my weight and I was down to 331. Well, since then I've beefed up my walks to 3 miles and I thought I was doing pretty good, but today I checked my weight again and it said the same thing, 331lbs. That kinda pissed me off. The other thing was, a while back, my mom took me shopping and she bought me several pants. They were much bigger than the jeans I used to wear a long time ago. Anyway, I hadn't worn them in forever, mainly because I remembered that a couple months ago, they didn't seem to fit me very well (a fact that I had forgotten about.) So I tried on those pants today and they fit me, like just right. The reason that confused me was that I was thinking that I bought those pants last year, before I got my job at Albertsons. So basically, it made me feel like I dropped about 30 pounds, but I hadn't changed much. I sure felt down all morning. It wasn't until early afternoon that I realized that my mom had bought me those pants, I believe it was, 2011 or early 2012. Two or Three years ago. Since then, I'm sure I had put on more weight. That's when I got relieved because I realized that all the weight I had gained in the last 2 years, I took it off and then some. The pants fit me a bit better than they did when I got them, or atleast I think they do. So basically the reality was, I'm basically back to the size I was 2 years ago, minus a few more pounds. Most of my weight loss is coming from my upper stomach area, arms, back and legs.
The point I'm telling you this is to inform that sometimes you may feel like you really bust your ass out there exercising and something happens to you like what happened to me today. Then you feel like giving up because you make yourself feel like you haven't gotten anywhere! That is NOT the case and don't ever give into those feelings or thoughts. Weight loss takes time and the weight is one thing, but losing inches off your body, that is another process that takes more time. Think of a giant balloon of water. That balloon weighs 200 pounds. You can drain about 20 to 30 pounds of water, but it'll still be big, not really changed much in appearance. You'd need to drain about 70 to 80 pounds of that water to really see a difference. Just keep that in mind if you ever get to the point I'm at in exercising. Now my weight is way past 300. I weight 360 pounds in April, so only losing 30 pounds of that weight, I'm not going to have really changed much. I still have a long way to go. I just need to not quit and that's exactly what I'm Never going to do. I will Never Quit!! My Fyrescape has just started. I've made great progress, but I still have a long journey ahead of me.
So this evening, I did not do another 3 miles. I stayed home and watched TNA Slammiversary. It was an Awesome show! Well worth the money. I swear, if you're a pro-wrestling fan, you need to watch TNA. They have some great wrestlers with amazing talent there. It was such a good show! That was my evening.
Happy Father's Day to All. To my Dad, Happy Father's Day, as you are the Greatest Dad Ever!!! I've learned to much from you and I continue to do so all the time. A Happy Father's Day to my Grandpa as well. A great man whom teaches me a lot.
A great day! Lookin forward to really hittin the weight loss again! Goodnight.
