On My Weigh
Hello all.
Accoutability:
- Made it to the gym yesterday. Did 45 minutes of cardio. 25 minutes on the treadmill. Only taking 2-2minute breaks. I ran 1.5 miles and burned 250 calories. Then I did 10 minutes on the bike and 10 minutes on the X-Bike. I was sweating so bad, it was crazy. I'm usually tired by the end but I was just going and going. I love that type of work out. Then after that I got in 100 abs [which I am now sore from]
- Eating was no bueno. Gave into hunger and got a chicken nugget meal from McDonalds. I only planned to get a ice cream cone but my hunger wouldn't subside any longer. I have to start eating regularly and eating ON PLAN!
- I weighed in at the gym...for the first time in about a month and a half..I'm happy to see the scale was the same as last time. I'm still at 193 and holding. I'm sooo happy to see I've maintained!! I want to be out of the 190's by the end of the month. Which gives me 1.5 weeks to lose 3lbs. I can do it, I've done it before!!!
Realization:
- I've never been this close to my goal. I've never lost this much weight and kept it off this long. I started this journey on January 8th and since then I've lost 23lbs, a whole dress size, I can fit in regular size shoe and not wide. My self confidence has rose and the changes I've been making is evident inside and out. It all feels so good but it is also a push for me to continue. I know if I can make it this far, I can only go further.
- I've said this before, but I am an all or nothing type of person...and that's with everything in my life I've realized. Weight loss, school work, my job, everything. I have realized that nothing has to be all or nothing. It's like once I start working out on plan, I have to eat on plan. That's why I felt so guilty about the McDonald's yesterday. So today I've planned against that. I have my chicken breast out to be grilled when I get back from the gym.
- Main realization: With dedication I can do this!! Bumps along the road and gains are expected, so just deal with them, learn from them and continue on the journey.
I wish I had the energy I had yesterday, today. Yesterday I woke up and went to the gym for an hour and half. Then I came home and deep cleaned my apartment. I'm talking dusting, cleaning out drawers, vaccuuming, arranging my closet. Throwing out old papers and reorganzing. Then I did the same to the bathroom. Then ran to Wal-Mart and picked up some stuff. After that I cleaned out my car, now I just need to wash the outside.
Today I just need to finish packing up my things to move to Houston for the summer. Then I need to run some errands, pay some bills and head out. I want to go because I know I'll have fun but I hate living with other people *sigh* I guess I have to deal with it, huh?! Blah!
Ok, I'm gonna head to the gym before I lose motivation.
