I am writing this today to remind myself that the small things that show success are just as important as the big ones,,, even if it isnt the sign i want to be seeing --ie the scale moving lol... I need to remind myself of that. While I have spent the last week eating correctly and going to the gym three days last week the scale has not moved at all :( it is very frustrating. However on Saturday after working all day my plan was to go the gym, and by 330 when i got out of work i wanted no part of it! But my husband pushed me -- thanks husband -- after doing my usually workout i tried something i had not been able to even half do - support myself by my arms and lift my legs up to work the lower abd. i was able to support long enough to do 5 lifts,, no it isnt a huge amount ,, 5 probably doesnt even accomplish anything - but it was 5 more than i could do 8 months ago.. that is a small thing showing me that something i am doing is working,, and hopefully the scale moving downward will follow suit... ...
