Good Morning FS Warriors! This is better than I expected, but not as much as I dreamed about! I did dream about it last night, the dream started with me running through the woods...sounds scary right? But no! I had a number on my chest and I was participating in a running competition of some sort. I was on the last leg and nearing the finish line, soaked with sweat, my heart was pounding and I was breathing heavily....I was like the 120th person to cross the finish line. It was a wonderful dream, and in that dream I stepped on the scale and it said 140. I got a trophy just for finishing! WOW, I was disappointed when I awoke this morning and I was not in a tight trim athletic body anymore. But the scale dropped and I am pleased and I think that the dream indicates that my subconscious mind may finally be on board with my ultimate goal, that is a good thing. Fighting with old ingrained eating habits plus dealing with other internal disbelief issues makes the journey harder than it should be. Getting all of my selves onboard is a major accomplishment! Today, We are One! Ya'll have a fabulous day!

Nice drop, Deb!!! Maybe the dream was a "you're doing your best & you're going to get there" affirmation! 🙂 It's great to have that whole, complete feeling of alignment when mind, body, and spirit come together! 😁 Hope you have a nice & easy work day!

Thanks Lady D! I have invented a new exercise! I call it butt-bouncing! My big dogs have taken to barking their heads off at the livestock when they get too close to the fence line, so I plop down in my chair at the computer for a second and then have to bounce back up to go yell at them to leave the cows alone! I also do it at the PO, I will just hit the chair to enter a previous transaction and a new customer walks in the door...so my butt hits the seat and bounces right back up.....it's a twist on the body weight squats! LOL!

@Deb... I was watching a strength training video for glutes last week which actually recommended something like that for warm up & form...lol. Great job getting it in! 🙂

Thanks Zen, Drag and Foody! Appreciate the support! @Zen, now I'm disappointed that I didn't invent it!! LOL! I think the dream was also a cheerleading motivational effort, there were hundreds of people at the finish line cheering everyone on. The announcer made a speech before presenting trophies and the gist of it was, you put in the work, the work was hard and long but you persisted, now see what you have accomplished. It was for some sort of charity because he started listing donation amounts and that we had exceeded expected goals. We were all wearing pink, so it might have been a breast cancer research event. Triggered by our internal Postal competition between offices to sell breast cancer stamps. It was a very vivid and detailed dream...mine are usually vague and difficult to remember, this one was not.

@Deb... I love positive vivid dreams like that. I don't have them often either. I had one YEARS ago that still sticks with me today. I was definitely one of those cheerleaders in your dream..lol. I surely wasn't running...lol. I remember when I was on my last journey & going to the gym. I was doing great in the weight room, but then I called myself trying to add HIIT to my routine. I was just pounding the treadmill with my heels. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Mind you, I was a size 4/5 at this time. A man came up to me and explained that my toes were supposed to hit first. I tried. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. again...lol. I just could not do it. The man interrupted me again and said, "Ya know, some people just aren't meant to run." The look on my face must have been as though he had just killed all of my hopes & dreams because he then continued with "Some people are meant to stand & fight, not run away." It was a very nice save for him. 🤣

Nice drop! Also, I love that dream!

Thanks Cheryl! @Zen, that's some dream, I have never looked at running in that context, it's just something that I have always secretly wanted to be able to do, I was always good at horseback riding and swimming, lifting and throwing, but on the running front I never did well, but I wanted to, apparantly I still do 😍

@Deb... no, that wasn't the dream. That was IRL...lol. I know he only said that for a "save"...lol. I've always wanted to run, too.

Z, you are a fighter, though. I'd say he was profound and perceptive. Probably was an angel that *poofed* back to heaven after he left the gym 😇

oh wow Zen! LOL I thought you were relating your vivid dream, well a comment like that would stick with a person. It's kind of eye opening and like I said, I never looked at it from that perspective. Maybe I'm not meant to run either...but I have always wanted to, runners and jumpers, I used to be glued to the track when the Track Team was practicing, they were so fast and graceful. One of the reasons I love horses so much, we could run and be fast and graceful, all I had to do was stay on her back!

Oh so proud of you! What a nice drop! Lots of internal battles when it comes to losing weight but this drop shows your determination!

Thank you Storms! I am determined and there are all kinds of things waiting in the wings trying to derail me, but I will keep in the race till I cross that final finish line!
