Hold It In Your Hands

So, I've made a triumphant return back to the gym this week. Had some good workouts and some good training sessions so far.

I told Wilton on Tuesday that I wanted to hold something that weighed 32 pounds in my hands. He looked at me confused... "Why?" "Because that's how much I've lost so far." "Oh!" It was nice to surprise him with that number. I held a 30 pound kettleball in my hands. It was heavy. I can't believe that I used to have that much more weight on my body. A reminder of what used to be and a celebration of what is.

Wake up calls from my job and my business partner. I know I my brain had been elsewhere. I think it's back from it's vacation and its ready to work.

I also think I've been capable of more in the last few days at the gym. Push-ups have been done. Semi-burpees have been done. Progress is being made.

Onward finally feels like it's happening. I know there will still be ups and downs, but I feel relieved to be over this down.

All the love,
Kristin
