I’ve gotten a bit obsessed over that number. My current goal is 175 and I’m at 184 right now.
My focus is on the wrong thing right now. That damn number. I can almost guarantee the day I step on that scale and see that number, I’ll get a rush for about 30 seconds that I hit my goal, and it will go away.
Because I will not have learned how to love my body.
My 43 year old body.
My grown 3 babies body.
My soft and squishy in all the wrong places body.
My OWN image of my body.
What do I want from my body, today at 43, that’s different than 5 years, 10 years or 20 years ago?
Strength.
I want to be able to lift my slippery toddler from the tub without hurting my back.
I want to be able to lift his stroller into the car without struggling.
I want to be able to carry the 40 lb bag of chicken feed up to the shed and not have to ask my younger, much stronger son to do it.
I want to be able to do that damn handstand.
I want to be able to DO.
What is that going to take?
Strength training- which I’ve started back up again.
Increasing my protein intake- my daily shakes have 15g (23g if I make it with regular milk). I’ve added ground turkey, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and a few other high protein sources to my diet.
