The "Then" Me and the "Now" Me

Then
I successfully lost 30 pounds in a years time with walking being my exercise. Of that 30 I gained 5 it back over the holidays, and I have not lost those extra five pounds yet. Currently my weight is 178, I want to reach 165, which is 13 lbs. Early in my NM journey I struggled with fatigue, my mind and body fought with each other. I mentally knew I needed to exercise along with healthier eating, but my body protested the exercise everyday. But I still went out and did the exercise. I was diagnosed with clinical depression and since I have been taking the medication the fatigue is now gone.

Now
I feel better than I can ever remember feeling! I realized recently that I successfully lost the 30 pounds with walking which I believe that 30 pounds was the excessive fat in my body. Now the remaining 13 lbs are fighting me. I know that muscle burns fat. I now know that I have to amp up my physical routine in order to get those 13 lbs gone. I am incorporating zumba and yoga, it is amazing how energized I feel after a work out! This was something the "then" me could not comprehend. The "now" me is having fights with my mind and body again. This time my body wants the exercise and my mind is complaining of the soreness and the time it takes to change in to workout clothes and drive to the gym. Amazing isn't it? No worries! I know my mind will cooperate soon!
