the weight of the world
i was at the gym the other day (i think that alot of my posts may start this way lol)
anyways… just for fun i went over to the weights, and started looking for a certain number.
i was looking for 2 specific weights that would total my weight loss thus far.
(see what “fun” is to me now? lol)
so i found two weights and walked over to my friend…and asked her to hold ’em
her arms dropped at the weight and she looked at me as if i was cracked out and asked what she was supposed to do with them.
i haven’t shared my weight loss publicly. only a select few know exactly how much i have lost…seriously i can count on one hand
and she would be one of them.
so i told her…that’s the amount of weight i lost. she said it was impossible.
but numbers don’t lie…it was very true…to my absolute embarrassment.
you know..we both couldn’t believe it.
the weights were heavy. i mean…even 5 pound weights get heavy after 3 sets…
and these were much more than 5 pounds.
and i got to thinking (shocker)
i probably could not lift that weight without struggling. seriously, i have come to accept the fact that i am quite the weakling.
so how did i lug that weight around every single day of my life????
i guess the weight loss has been so gradual, but when you are there, holding that number in your hands..and feel weighted down
well..it’s an eye opener.
things that make you go hmmm.
