Hi HippieChick

Over the past three years I have lost 75 pounds (divorce kicked off the weight loss) and still was not overly confident in my appearance. So, then I did what I felt was the unthinkable, and I stopped smoking…it’s been 3 weeks, but I have maintained this. And, I loaded the Couch to 5k app onto my cell phone and I am doing it. Take it from me, it works! (the first week training I did twice before moving on to week 2)
One thing that I have found though, is that I no longer know what I weigh. And, it helps! Instead of concentrating on what my weight is, or what my weight goal is, I have changed to think in terms of “am I toning? am I developing muscle? do I feel good today?” If I can answer yes to one of those questions (especially the 3rd one) I am happy!
Concentrate on you, make yourself happy and focus on any and all positives that you feel about yourself on any given day!
