June 3rd 2009
Ok so I began May 24th. I have yet to post my before picture, because I don’t want to! But since I have lost some poundage I have decided its ok to post the before because, although it may be a small change, I have an after now! woohoo!
I am up to 40 minutes a day on the treadmill. 20 minutes jogging 20 minutes walking! So lets see that is 10 days minus 1 , um yeah third day in i flaked :( lol But no more flaking for me!
k… 9 days working out and cutting back on my junk food and stuff…. drum roll please….
Tada!!! I have lost 5 pounds!
At first I was like “wow 5 pounds big whoop” BUT than I looked at the tub of margarine in our fridge that is 2.5 pounds and was like holy crap! I lost 2 of those! And I have since found some pics online that depict what five pounds of fat look like…
I have to keep going. I now understand that any loss is a wonderful achievement! Not to beat myself up if it takes a while to lose it. How long have I been sitting on my butt, stuffing myself with the crud that has turned into the fat that I am now trying to shed?! How many cheetos, ice cream bars, french fries, donuts, mcdonalds meals, KING size snicker bars….yuuummmm snickers….. *shakes head* wait no back to the point…where was I.. ok um how much have I eaten to contribute to this monkey on my back (and butt,thighs, arms etc)?!
AND I have learned I also do not have to completely deprive myself of the stuff I love. For instance that oh so dreamy snickers, well they have snack size which is 55 calories versus king size snickers at *GASP* 510 calories!! *whistles*
I have yet gotten to this snacking point though. My plan is too newbie to trust myself with eating only one snack size to kill my craving! But it is one more goal of mine that I will succeed at!! I have purchase the 100 calorie snack packs of hostess coffee cake! Which works out perfectly for me cause I don’t feel like I am missing out on something good!! I just am not at the will power to push more chocolate away yet! haha
We had pizza for dinner last night. Wait scratch that…we didn’t…my kids and hubby did! I passed on pizza!! OMG! Yes I decided until I am strong enough to only eat one slice, I will forgo another of my faves and had a salad with chicken breast that i baked with Franks red hot sauce! very yummy by the way.
K so this is my update so far. No it hasn’t been easy. In fact just this morning I tried to convince myself to take a day off. Like I needed much convincing! HA! I literally had to push myself to get on the treadmill. And after I was done I felt so good, so accomplished.
SO I will continue I will succeed. I willmake my goals and be healthier and live longer especially for my babies. I will not have them experience graduations, weddings, career goals, families, without their mama! That is what I can do for them. And that is why I have the drive to do this the right way this time!! Plus I don’t know what my hubby would do without me!! lol He would never find the remotes or the mayo in the fridge! He needs me to move the gallon of milk out the way! haha!
With all this said, I wish good luck to all in the weight battle! Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my blogs. It truly means the world to me!
Oh and I will continue to post progressive pics in my “Tracking my Weight Battle” page. Enjoy! haha!
