abbadabba's Journal, 17 May 2018

Had an interesting experience last night. I picked up my 2 weights, 18 pounds total, to bring upstairs to put away. By the time I got to the top of the stairs, my legs were complaining from the strain. That 18 is about what I lost, so the loss has definitely reduced some serious stress on my joints and ligaments. It was a coincidence, but very encouraging.
Down, down, down! Changed up the smoothie to have sweet potato instead of avocado and added some ginger. I love ginger. Very tasty.
Dancing tonight, giving away some candles that I will never use, and posting a chair for sale tonight on a yard sale site. My mom's neighborhood yard sale got canceled so now she won't be pressuring me to bring my stuff to her place 20 miles away. Had a really bad response last year so it would be carting the stuff there and then carting 90% back and sitting around for 4 hours haggling with people who don't want what I am selling anyway.
Many vegetables for lunch today, and then steak for dinner!
Have a great Thursday.

My knees and my heart noticed the twenty pounds I lost. I may feel like a spring chicken when I lose the other eighty that have to go!

Walking up the stairs with those weights will spur you on to continue! 🙂

Isn't it amazing when we have something like weights to compare what we've lost in body fat/excess weight?! I had to get cat litter the other day and they only had the 28 lb boxes. After I got it into the cart, it hit me that what I just hefted into the cart is what I've lost so far! It's no wonder I had no energy and my hips and knees were starting to hurt! It's good motivation to keep going!

Well you just motivated me to double-down on the weight loss efforts - I just posted about that, and how I like to run. Yeah, stress on joints, great reason to lose weight! Keep up the good work!

Yes! I have seen this comparison before but it really does open the eyes to how much weight we carry! Thanks for reminder!
