18 day… 18 straight days of exercise. I have to say, I’m amazed at myself. I didnt’ think I could keep it going this long. Usually when the weight loss doesn’t equal the effort I put forth in one week. I bag it. So far I’m still going strong. I had the perfect opportunity to give up tonight. I could have easily given in the my exhaustion and fall asleep early. The healthier me that is hiding, is starting fight more. She’s starting to win against this shell of a person I became. It’s hard fighting the person I’m hiding behind.
I do need to start to putting a better effort into the blog. But truthfully I have been just so tired and busy to take the time to journal my food and my feelings. I really just wanted to give it all to the exercise right now. Until the exercise is as much as part of my life and daily routine as taking a shower is. A must do daily. But for now I’ll keep myself grounded with little posts like these. Little pick me ups to remind myself to keep going and keep doing what I’m doing. But the scale is not my friend, Only .2 pounds down from last week. Whatevs.
I hit my first goal. Three pounds, or more accurately 3.2 pounds. I finally hit that first mini milestone and I feel a little proud. This weekend is very nerve racking, I have a lot of Independance Day celebrating going on, and I tend to overeat at family picnics. I’m going to try and portion my food as best as I can, and continue on my exercise path. I am proud to have made 13 constant days of exercising. Thankfully we are picking up an extra Zumba class on Monday morning. I never thought I be so addicted to a dance class that’s primarily latin music, but its working, it flies by fast, and its fun.
I am also proud of myself for my food choices on Thursday. I stuck with the salad at my favorite deli, and chose a fish entre for dinner. Skipping desert and only eating half of my baked potato. I was so jealous as someone order my favorite dinner there(on my recommendation because I couldn’t stop talking about it). I kept cool even though I thought about diving head first into the creamy wine and cheese sauce that was left on her plate. 😀
Two shout outs to my puppy Freddie, for walking with me when my other buddy can’t . She has been gaining weight too, and she has weight loss goals of her own to meet (as set by her vet).
Next goal will be in 4.8 pounds. Here I come.
