Thoughts to reflect on..

I took my progress pictures yesterday and I was blown away!  It’s hard to believe what a difference a few weeks of consistent weight training and cardio can do.  As I’ve mentioned before, injury to my back had me sidelined for a long time.  My nutrition was already adjusted to healthy eating due to me being a Celiac (gluten intolerant), but I had already had plateaued with weight loss.  I needed exercise, but each time I’d be 2 weeks heavily into my routines, my back would sideline me again.  Then I’d have to wait a few weeks or months before I could continue.  The doctor was even talking about surgery, but then I decided to visit a chiropractor.  That’s the best choice I could have made.  With their help, within a week I was ok’ed to start lifting again.  Why am I writing all this?  Because the progress in my pics are varied; they are sporadic and time had passed in between some of them.  But the recent ones have been accomplished ever since I started lifting again this summer….roughly in an 8 week period!  Now, I know I’m still so far from where I want to be and some people might not even notice or think I’ve done anything that significant….but for me, its a BIG change and the spark that I needed to keep me working hard towards my goal…finally, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel….and as my daughter would say……SWE-E-E-E-E-E-T!
