Week 21 --- Been Slacking Hard Core, But Im Gonna Get Back On Track

By blackanese25

Ok so i wrote this huge long blog and then my computer decided it wanted to do an update and restart its self so i lost everything.. im not gonna rewrite it all again so ill just paraphrase...

 

HW:265

CW:170

GW:150

5'7''

 

The past 3 weeks ive been slacking big time.. my mind and body just needed a break. But im back in the game now..Im only 20 lbs from goal and in 2 days ill be at my 5 month mark. To be honest i think my goal should be around 160 cuz i feel like im too skinny already, but whatever. Guess ill just see what happens in the next month. I haven't had health insurance since 2 months post op so i never even got to go in and see my NUT or get updates in progress to my doctor. Ive done all this on my own and I think ive done well so far.

 

Anyways, im gonna post pictures from day one until last night... Im actually kind of wondering where 20 more lbs are gonna come from..lol. but i want to seriously start doing weight lifting so i can tone up and get more muscle.

 

BRINGING THE HEAT.. GONNA HAVE A BETTER, HEALTHIER LIFE!

    Oh wow...your before and after pics are stunning. Congradulations you!

    PS - please consider finding a monthly meeting somewhere in your area. They are free. It will not replace your nut or doc but gives you resources via aquaintances that you would not otherwise have.

    Keep going! wow!

    Hey you... ya you beautiful lady. No slacking this early on.

    I am four years out and I have made some serious mistakes (like not going to the gym enough) but the one thing I did right was to go hard core for the first year.... there is no slacking in that first while because as time passes it gets harder. You have a window of opportunity now is not the time to take a break.

    I am giving you the mom look now... can you see it? No slacking...

    (this advice is exactly what I have needed along the way, so I am giving you the same words I got when I needed it)

    Wow you look absolutely gorgeous and you are losing so fast! I almost 6 months out and I'm down 60lbs. Don't get me wrong because I'm proud of my progress but you are doing awesome. Keep up the good work!

    just a big thank you to everyone... i feel terrific which is more than i can say for a few months ago.. And I am getting back into my habit of working out.. I think i just went so hard right after surgery that my body said its time for a break.. so now that im getting better with a balancing act of work out and rest i think this time around will be much better...

    Ssilian- I can honestly say this was the best decision of my life so I am glad that i can be an inspiration to someone.. I know that you will not regret making this for yourself.

    100%- congrats on your numbers as well.. its so weird thinkinng that we were carrying basically a small child on our backs ... its just nuts sometimes. but im sure your results are amazing too.. just feels good doesn't it? :)

    Hopefully I will have a much better blog next week and I can stick to my regimen. Again thank you all!!!
