I'm going down.....
on the scale that is
! Closer than ever to the 190's...this is just amazing to me. Wasn't it just yesterday that I was trying to get into ONDERLAND and now here I am solidifying my place. GLORY!!!
I don't know whats up with this .8 stuff, 197.8 and now 194.8 but that's 3 lbs so I'll take that!! This makes me happy b/c sometimes I get a little discouraged when my efforts are not reflected on the scale. I know, I know, I'm always preaching against the demon scale but it does feel wonderful to see those numbers decline. This week people have been complimenting me left and right. "Oh, you're really losing weight!", "You look really good girl", "Alright now, don't get too skinny", "What are you doing...crack?" I do take it all in stride b/c I know how hard I'm working to meet my goals. Not only exercising but also closely monitoring my diet and tweaking it as needed.
It's weird b/c I still look at myself and I see the same fat stomach, sagging underarms and thunder thighs. Yes, I'm smaller but those things still stand out to me like a sore thumb. I'm very self-conscious about my stomach b/c its very pouch-like. I have a kangaroo pouch, like 2 stomachs literally. I don't know how this great divide occured but I need them to unite as one!
Also, I could probably do more ab work too, sigh. My waist is wittling down and my legs are noticeably smaller, even to me. My workout gear is starting to look as if it belongs to someone else. My favorite yoga pants are now shameful. I really need to get new stuff and I will, soon I suppose. I need clothes too for that matter and I don't even want to think about shopping for clothes right now. As soon as I get my wardrobe up to speed I'm down. My 16's are literally looking like M.C hammer pants, I'll be getting them altered. Shopping is only fun when you're at your goal weight, interim shopping SUCKS!!!
I've been drinking green smoothies in the morning for breakfast. For those of you who are like, green smoothies? They are literally green. Mine have been made up of kale and other frozen fruit like mango, blueberries, strawberries, peaches, etc. It's pretty good but it does take some getting used to. It certainly makes one feel more akaline and less acidic. I'm eating a lot more fruit and vegetables. My goal is to be 100% raw vegan so thats what I'm working towards. I truly believe this is the healthiest way to consume our foods (Vegetables, Fruit, Nuts, Seeds). Uncooked, just as nature intended. 
be and do well.....
