BUT I do know it's paid off. I have watched what I ate (but not strictly) and I've worked out (again, not strictly) and I'm DOWN in the SCALE.
It's been a few weeks since I weighed myself, but last post I was at 240.5, now I'm at 234.7!! Down 5.8 lbs, which isn't a huge amount but considering I am very happy with it.
I've decided that I will weigh & measure myself every 2 weeks and I have a goal of losing 35 lbs by the end of the summer. I can't remember the last time I was under 200 (probably about 8 yrs ago or so), and THAT is my goal right now.
It's very hard to stay motivated sometimes; It's easy to give up, or think your never going to get there and eat that ice cream, or snack on those chips when you feel the benefit of it RIGHT NOW, it's hard to resist it and choice an apple instead and wait and wait to see the results..,
But I've printed this and put this on my frig and pantry...,
a bit extreme maybe, but it's TRUE.., you can't continue to eat unhealthy foods, (AND DRINKS) and expect results. You have to CHANGE YOUR THINKING AND YOUR HABITS
So I am also going to start posting pictures every 2 weeks just to keep myself in check. Instead of saying I don't have anyone to take my picture, lol, I am using the mirror at work so they aren't the best but it's a picture.
Goals for this week:
-Drink 84 oz of water per day
-Drink 84 oz of water per day
- STAY AWAY FROM POP. PERIOD.
-Eat 3 meals and 2 HEALTHY snacks
- Walk at least 4 miles a day
You have great goals! Sticking to them can be hard, but it doesn't matter how you fall off the wagon, the only thing that matters is that you get back up. Congrats on your loss! Keep fighting! You can do this!

ReplyDeleteSoda is a huge one for me.. I gave it up last year for several months and felt great, but I've let myself drink it again. Although, I'm not drinking it to the extent that I was I can still tell how icky it makes me feel..
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK this week! You can do it!
Pop especially coke is a monkey on my back too! Ugh!!!! I hate I ever started drinking it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you!!
Way to go on 5+lbs...it may not seem huge to you, but it is huge! You are amazing and a wonderful friend and support. I absolutely adore you :)
