View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Happy hump day! This week is going so fast work wise (not enough time in the day), yet so slow otherwise. I had training with Elle last night, she created a new circuit for me and I blew through it in record time. I was still very challenging but I have more endurance and don't have to stop like I sometimes did before. I felt stronger and of course some exercises had to be modified. My push-ups for example, because of dislocating my right arm and separating the collar bone years ago, standard push-ups are painful in my shoulder because of the way my arm bends (i think, it's different from the left for sure) so I do wall push ups turning my fingers inward a little which points the elbows in the same direction and touch my nose to the wall. I guess you have to start somewhere right! Anyway, I felt fantastic last night!
This morning I'm back up at 200.9 lbs, I drank 40 oz of water late and did weights yesterday so I'm hoping it's just water...fingers crossed. Regardless I'm wearing an outfit today I haven't been able to wear for years and OMG the pants are starting to fall down! It's kinda funny, three months ago I had to stretch my size 18 pants to wear them and today I'm using safety pins to hold my pants up. LOL
I forgot to account for the fabric relaxing as you move in them...I should have worn a belt but I don't own one because I've been too fat! Good problem to have I guess :p
This Saturday is my nephew's fiancé's baby shower and I haven't seen most of my family since May 4th, the day the fat pic was taken that I posted in the side by side photo on 7/14. The last time I was loosing weight (years ago) and my face started to thin out they all told me I looked sick...I think because they are all BIG so to them I probably would plus they are used to seeing me bigger; hopefully this time will be different. My family are the type that have no filter when I was heavier and walked in the room I heard "holy crap, your a$$ got big"...yeah that my family. So I'm bracing myself for the mental and emotional side if it and the food, it's a buffet so I'm trying to familiarize myself with portions by eye and asked my niece for the menu so I can look up general nutrition info but haven't heard back yet.
Well that's it for me today, lots to do and my break is over, so back to work!
Have a great day!

Sydney if I had 10 minutes I would tell her how much I love her, how she was an amazing woman, mother and friend. How she taught me about humanity, love, loyalty, giving, work ethic, morality, self respect, respect of others, empathy, charity, how to be a mother, wife, sister, friend and how to be a Grand Mother by being who she was. That she is the person who I measure myself against, hoping that one day I will be at least half the woman she was. I would thank her for all the wonderful moments if my childhood and all the sacrifices she and dad made for us kids. I would thank her for loving me and being my mom...Because after the stroke she couldn't talk I would give my right arm just to hear her say "I LOVE YOU" and I would tell her I was sorry for everything she went through after the stroke, that we really did the best we could and I know she never wanted to be on life support and that day she woke up for 5 minutes and was mad, that we were not given a choice, that I'm sorry we didn't realize earlier what was going on and that I'm sorry that I failed her...she begged me for help in the ER and I made them look further but it was too late, the last thing I heard her say was her begging me " help me, help me please" and it must have taken everything for her to get that out cause she couldn't talk and she grabbed me and cries and said that and then she passed out and that was the last time I saw my mother present, the last time I heard her voice the next month she was in a coma on life support. I would say Mommy I'm so sorry!

Awesome job.. don't forget to look and your measurements, they tell a different story than the weight number... also, don't for get that those hard workout and your new found working harder in a workout needs more water and electralites for muscle recovery
:y: 
:rock1: your body is learning to be more efficient sometimes the body takes a break and take it all in before it can let it go.. (sounds like grieving huh??)

You're doing great! Really super! Love it for you that your pants are falling down bit. That happened to me too
:) It's a wonderful accomplishment and don't let anyone rain on your parade. Also, family means well (as do friends) but often what comes out of their collective mouths is so unhelpful. Just be generous with them (and with yourself) and let it flow right over you. Practice a phrase in your brain (have it ready for when the comment comes). Something like "I know you mean well and so thank you for your kind intentions." And also in the next mental breath "But I'm proud of me and I accomplished this!" Hooray for you!
