Weight loss comes with some pain!

Just weighed myself today. Another pound off!
You know, this all started with an answer to my prayers. I wanted to know what I could do to feel better about myself and my body. This was the answer! As I started I didn't think I could do it.
But here I am 14 pounds to go! That seems like so many still after loosing 8 I am not even half way.
But I haven't felt hungry or deprived. So one pound a week seems good for me.
I am not complaining about loosing 8 pounds, I just wish results were faster. This is one time that I would love for time to go faster. 14 pounds is 14 weeks. JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS TREATS, that seems like a good time to put it all back on....in this case, NO WAY! I won't do it. I have been working too hard to let it go.

My caption above says weight loss comes with pain.
They say that weight lifting is the most effective thing you can do to burn calories, because you keep burning after you are done. Your body is repairing muscles.
 I'd say my body has been repairing muscles now for 3 days. I AM SORE, OUCH!!! I went to body pump Saturday morning and have been hobbling down the steps since.
But I know it is good for me on so many levels.
I will be sad to give up my Gold's Gym Membership, especially now. We need to cut some costs and this is the thing that can go. As of Oct. 24th I will need to run here at home, (when I find a treadmill), and find a weight lifting class to take once a week. That is all I need.

I need to keep this up though. I am on a wheat roll! (don't eat white bread if I have a choice).

By the way, I included below a nasty picture. This is what one pound of fat looks like.



Good luck to you and thanks for your support!!
