We Kin Get Thin!

I forgot to share something amazing with you!

Last night at training, I was on the treadmill and my heart rate got up to 184. I got off the treadmill, wiped my forehead, took a sip of water, and walked about 20 steps across the gym. By then, my heart rate was back down to 114.

That, is incredible recovery time... especially for me!! When I first did the elliptical thingy at training, My heart rate got up to 187, and I had to sit down for almost 5 minutes to get my heart rate back down.

It is unbelievable how the body adapts. Crazy, I say! But truly awesome :-)

I was looking for something in my closet last night. I didn't find it. But I did come across the dress I wore for my sister's wedding, it reminded me that her TWO year anniversary was just a couple weeks ago. Two years ago I wore this size 18 dress with extra panels sewn in because it didn't fit. Two years ago I wanted to look beautiful for my sister's big day. I was the only bridesmaid wearing a jacket over my dress to disguise my gigantic flubbery arms.
I started to think about how good I've eaten, and how hard I've worked out this past year. Surely, I've come so far.
So, I did exactly what I should not have. I tried it on.

Expecting it to gap, and flop, and fall of me. Before putting it on, I noticed the inside, the seams were stressed and nearly busted.

I zipped it up, and it was just as snug and sausagey as it had been that night. I was so embarrassed and disappointed.

But today, it's fine. Today, I am just looking forward to the day that I zip it up, and it falls to the floor.
