Back Into the swing on training
Well, I’m getting back into the swing of things with reaching my goal. Experienced a small set back earlier this year when someone dropped a 45lbs weight on my foot. My foot is all healed now, and I’m working hard. My diet has been modified, as my workout, to see if it’s possible for me to compete in November. Because I was once over 230+ lbs. my body has stretched so, which is the only problem I’m experiencing physically. Mentally, my problem has been the comments from my family telling me that I’m too skinny (will never be that), that I need to eat, that I’m scaring them,……. and the list goes on. As much as I love my family, I’ve had to modify that part of me life as well. I know that they mean well, but if I’m going to reach the goal I’ve set or myself, then I have to stay clear of as much stress as possible, and if that includes family and/or friends then that’s what I will do….for me. I’ve gone into selfish mode, which I don’t think is a bad thing ……………..

I’m glad you’re feeling better! I can’t believe someone dropped a 45lbs weight on your foot! Crazy!!! Family always has something to say when we lose weight, but deep down they do really care about us. We just have to stay focused on our goals. You can do it!

Thank you! It really feels good to be back on track. That incident keeps me away from the gym in the evening now. I’ve adjusted my scheduled to only go in the early morning hours when there’s only about a hand full of people their
……I know my family means well. They have just gotten use to seeing me the way I use to be, not to mention that fact that they don’t understand the sport and all that goes into it. But I love them anyway. Hey…I guess this too is apart of the process in which I’m to go through, so I’ll have to learn to embrace just like I have with working out and changing my diet. Thank you for those kind words!
