Week 3

So today is the 3rd week of my change in lifestyle.

I feel a million times better than I did the day after Christmas (the day I started). No soda, counting calories and exercising everyday. I had a cheat day yesterday and I still eat within my calories but I allowed myself to eat out and enjoy it. I just find that I get fuller faster and in turn do not eat as much.

My close feel loser and my body moves better. I know it is only 2 full weeks but I can tell a difference.



That in one pound of fat! I am going to start rejoicing even when I only lose one pound. It makes me lighter. 

a challenge

So for about a week and a half I have been doing really well. Working out daily, getting my 10,000 steps, eating tons of fruits and veggies and haven't lost a pound.

But i can feel a huge difference. So my sister challenged me to not step on a scale for 3 weeks. I was discouraged but i want to lose weight.

I am off the scale. I am paying attention to other goals. Fitness goals, pants size and how i feel.

when you struggle with food and weight issues it is not about the weight but its not not about the weight.

rewards!!

I am like a child and need rewards when I have done something good.

My something good is losing weight.

sore

I know I have been gone for a while but I am back and lord am I sore.

I've been worked out twice a day all week and my body feels it. But instead of discouraging me its totally encouraging!! My body hurts because I am pushing it. It feels awesome!

Also I totally gave up soda Monday and I feel great! No soda more fruits and vegetables!

stress and my eating

Well there is nothing more stressful in my life then the first few weeks of school. Hek even my wedding was not as stressful. So needless to say my eating habits have been horrible this last month.

The other trigger is my husband is in school Monday and Wednesday nights so I notice I over eat those nights out of boredom and over snacking.

My goal this new month of September is to walk those nights my husband is at school and to stop snacking and not to eat in front of the TV.

Also I may do the dirty run at the end of September and I want to do race for the cure in October to honor my grandmother.
