Non-Scale Victory- (No longer do I have to wait to tie my shoes)


(Ron D. Garrett) #1

Where I work at I have to do “rounds” around our complex to ensure that all the property is safe and secure.

Today as I walked the perimeter enjoying the sweet sunshine I looked down and noticed my shoe untied.

I thought to myself “dang!!! Well…I’ll wait until I finish rounds so that I can sit down and take care of that darn shoe!!!”

I walked about another 20 feet and then thought to myself “wait a darn minute as I looked down at the shoe. I can tie that thing right now!!! It’s been months since my gut was so big that it was a struggle to tie my shoe!!!”

I then started literally laughing out loud because though I have lost 70lbs since being on keto I guess my mind automatically went back to those days when if my shoe was untied that I’d have to sit down and hold my breath to tie it because my stomach had gotten so big.

So after a good, long laugh (I bet my co-worker was looking at the security monitors saying “what’s wrong with him? Why the heck is he slapping his leg and laughing so hard?”) I bent over, ties the darn shoe and continued on the completion of my duties taking the long way around as I do all of the time now (STILL would rather lift my heavy weights than do cardio :joy: but I can run again if I want to so there).

So far removed from that dude but even now the mind still has a trick or two for the Big Black Dude! :joy:

Wooohooo and good for you! When I first started on my fat loss journey (pre-keto) I can remember HATING to have to tie my shoes. I can remember I used to have to blow out some of my breath then hold it to get down far enough to tie my shoes. Even then it was uncomfortable.

Congrats @Rgbigun on a well won NSV!

Onward and upward …
