That Widow

Day 137 and these 2 still surprise me.

I have 2 body parts that still surprise me, daily. My shoulders and my thighs. I don’t notice my shoulders unless I’m doing my workout. They’re just not what I would focus on typically. But imll be doing my workout and go to touch my shoulders and hello there definition! They’re definitely under appreciated but man, they can sure carry a lot on them. My thighs are again, something I don’t notice all of the time. I notice it when I’m driving, which is weird, but I’ll be sitting at a light or in a line or what have you and look down and realize they’re a lot smaller and more defined than they used to be. It makes me feel good about the work I’m putting in.

While these are the typical parts that others notice I think it is more meaningful for me because it shows my dedication to myself. It shows my brain that I can do hard things. Others may focus on my single chin, as opposed to the multiples I had, or my stomach, which still has work to be done from so many csections and diastasis recti, but they fail to see a whole person. You can’t lose weight from just a specific area, it’s an all or nothing type of thing, but there are still places that are under appreciated.

Day 137 and let’s draw attention to what makes us feel good.
