Penlan's Journal, 18 April 2016

I just took a delivery of wool fibre today. I had 41 kilos. It arrived in a surprisingly small box... I had three 10 kilo packs, and a five kilo, and some two kilo bags.

Yeah, right.... yawn! And why I am I talking fluff on a diet site anyway? Inappropriate, right?

I first lifted the 5 kilo bag out of the box. Coo - it was surprisingly heavy. The I took a 10 kilo bag. Oh my word!! that was heavy!!

It got me a-thinkin'. I have lost 15 kilos that I know of, in the last year and a quarter. That means at Jan 2015 I was toting round the equivalent of those heavy bags with every step I took, every move I made. Sure, I had a bad back - what's the surprise there.....

And I have another 7 or so to go. Picking up a five kilo and a two kilo bag - cripes. Really??

Wow.

There's incentive.

Still, I will keep on track on go s-l-o-w-l-y. Give my skin chance to keep up perhaps? My average seems to be around a kilo a month, suits me.

When you try to lift the weight you have lost it is a real eye opener to just how much weight you were carrying.

It really is nuts when I pick up even 5 lbs and think, wow, I was carrying this around all day? 10 lbs, 20 lbs. Helps me to remember its more about health, not vanity : )

Ditto Penlan! This morning I carried 2 x 6kg bags of washing detergent from the supermarket to my office just next door ...... and I was struggling with that short distance! Excellent exercise for motivation!

Stick it in a backpack and go to the shops then you will really see what you have done for your body :)

It's a real eye-opener, isn't it? Just concentrate on how much better you feel now and how much better you'll be when you shed the last 7kg ... however long it takes :)
