Half-way, how things change when you're half-way
Today is my half-way point for the year. I started changing things December 14 and today makes it six months. I can't believe how fast it went by, I blinked then it was June. One hundred and eighty-two days exactly and how things have changed.
I've lost 56 pounds and everything is easier. Walking up and down the stairs, driving in the car, sitting in a chair, working, exercise...it's all better. Sex is better, holy cow, is sex better. Maybe that was TMI but yeah it's true. Life is just better.
I find myself doing things I never would have done six months ago, yesterday for example, I bought myself very expensive perfume and it felt so good, I did that because I wanted to, no other reason, just that simple. I can't remember the last time my emotions weren't entangled with a million other things, it's very liberating.
It changes you and then you change everyone around you, wether you mean to or not, it just happens. I'm happier with myself, with life and it ripples outward. My kids have lost weight, my non-overweight daughter is making better choices, and Saturday my husband declared that he felt fat. I chuckled, for a long time.
This is the longest I've ever been consistent, it's not always easy, some days are better than others. It's my busy season at work right now so finding time for exercise is hard but not impossible. So many things don't feel impossible anymore, when did that happen? I can't remember exactly but I don't want to go back to how it was.
Six more months, six more months till it's a year. A year that could show a 100 pound loss, maybe more. And it all started with Day 1.
The biggest lesson I've learned, Everyone screws up, one mistake is not rationale for giving up and going buck wild. Failure truly does not exsist, if we keep pushing forward, success is only a matter of time.
