Happy Sunday Diet Bet Nation! Day 14, and two weeks into our Diet Bet! Half way through - Can you believe it?
In my previous experiences in trying to lose weight, the most frustrating question would be, “Do you feel any better?” I think the reason this question would frustrate me is because the numbers on the scale would be the only measurable way to see progress when losing weight, and how I was feeling was not measurable. In the back of my mind, I wanted to say, “I’d feel a lot better if the numbers on the scale would go down to reflect the work I’ve been putting in.” However, today was a different story because I am starting to feel better and strong!
During my walk today, I noticed something was a little different. I felt that I was standing up a little straighter, there was a lightness in my step, and when climbing an uphill, I felt my body lean into the challenge. It was an amazing feeling, and I must have been radiating this strength, because not once but twice during my walk today, when a driver pulled up too far into the pedestrian crossing lane, they backed up and moved out of my way! In the past, I would always have to walk around these jerks! :) Not now, they move out of my way.
I’m in love with this new inner strength I am feeling!
“It is in life, not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong.”
