Slow motion 3 in 1 push ups...

are tough. I hate them. But I did 10 more than I did last week, so I must be getting better at them.

This morning I weighed in at 152.0 again. I'm going to take a page out of Hubby's book and not worry too much about it. Instead, I turned that fretting around and just busted out more reps doing Shoulders, Arms and Triceps. Coop's going down for a nap soon, so maybe I'll do a bonus workout.

I found it very interesting though. I've been somewhat slacking on my schoolwork, so I told myself no more exercising until I finished at least the discussions for HIM. I never ever thought I would be using exercising as a reward!

This "all over body makeover" journey is awesome. I am learning things about myself I never knew. I'm learning that, while I have my weaknesses, I AM able to work through them and I'm a lot tougher than I thought. It's even teaching me something about relationships. I haven't quite put my finger on what that is, but I'm hoping if I lose my self consciousness, maybe I'll be able to have closer friendships.

I started this blog to be completely the outer me, but I'm seeing that the outer me is more inner me than I thought. (I'm not sure that makes sense, but it does in my head.)

  1. I love this post, Tess. Seriously, you are on to more than you even realize or maybe you do realize it, it is just so crazy, you're not sure...the part about the inner self & outer self. The more we grasp our inner self the easier it is to have the outer self that we want. grrr I have an awesome quote on my desk about this. I will look it up tomorrow & get back to you. It completely left my brain. I'm so proud of you! As weird as it feels sometimes, just keep on working on you, life gets so much more amazing & interesting when we let go of the materialist crap and get a glimpse of the little things in life including our self conscious. I'll get you that quote! - Lish
