Verdict is in this a.m!!! Calipers report I have dropped from 22.8 to 20.8 body fat, and lost another 2.5 inches around my hips and landed at 37. Waist still remains 32. Weigh in comes tomorrow and I'll be doing another on Monday morn.
I've worked really hard for these. 20 months worth of workouts. They're not perfect, but these are the muscles that help lift me up when my legs are having a tough time from the MS. These are the arms that collaborate with my cane, and worked with the walker when I was using it. These are the arms that may one day help to lift me out of wheelchair or help make life a little less strenuous for a future care giver. These muscles provide supplemental support for a condition that has no cure.
I did my last modified push up and hit the 60 rep mark, and now it's time to work into the next level and do un modified push ups. For me, this really is about function. Enjoying the form is a luxury.
I confess, I do my best to cultivate as much self love and inspiration as I can because my fear of the unknown requires a love that can equal it. It feels good to look at this picture and see how far the love in this heart has taken me.
I have a reminder on my phone that set to go off every day, it reads as follows, "Emboldened in love - we expand our strength, keep going, and keep the weight off..."
Have a blessed day everyone <3
