Discouraged
I am discouraged this weekend. I feel like I am not making great strides. Just little bitty ones.
Today is my moms b'day. She turned 58. I saw a glimpse into what my future would be if I continued on my overweight path. She is over 300 lbs, she has worn out her knee because of the 4 decades of carrying extra weight. She has breathing problems, sleep apnea and gets sick almost weekly because she has a weak immune system.
It breaks my heart but to be completely honest I despise her. Not because of her but because I can see myself in her and all that I don't like about myself I see it in her. We struggle with the same weight issues. So although I'm heartbroken because she is my mom and I love her dearly, I am frustrated with her because I wish she could get control of her weight and her life.
Oh yesterday when we went out to lunch instead of waiting on everyone to order my brother ordered the big meal for the whole table to share. So instead of my well thought out meal, I had to sit infront of ribs, potato salad, fried onion rings and okra and tons of cobbler. I did my I ate half a piece of smoked turkey a little cold slaw and I gave into some peach cobbler at the end.
I was so discouraged by the end of the night I ate no dinner although I killed myself in the gym yesterday and I took it out on my poor sweet husband.
Poor Riley I think I have taken out all my frustration with the lifestyle change on him.

last night...
Yesterday was a long day at school. I stayed late to learn a flash mob dance that we are going to surprise the principal with at the next pep rally so as lame as that sounds I totally counted the 45 minutes we spent standing and going over the dance as my workout.
Last night by the time I got home I was so exhausted and I did not have the meal already ready in the crock pot I gave into my temptation to Little Caesars pizza. Before I did I looked at my calorie counts for the day and I was at 500 so I could eat 2 pieces and 3 crazy bread for a total of 700 calories putting me around 1200 for the day. By the time I was eating the last piece I was so full so I did not finish it entirely.
Of course it made me sluggish the rest of the night and I got up to do my medicine ball and totally was not motivated. Luckily my husband was throwing the ball at me so he kept me going. Since I still needed to eat a few more calories I had a yummy fudge dipped coconut granola bar! It was sooooo good. Its like eatinf Samoas cookies from the girl scouts.

pants, slacks, jeans, pantalones
Today I wore a pair of pants that I could not zip up last month.
I wore them all day zipped up and they were comfortable! It was awesome! I know I have not weighed myself and I am not sure even if I did that I would have lost weight but I can tell you the best part of losing weight is getting back into older clothes that you have not worn in months or even years!!
I can't wait to get into this pair of really cute jeans! I hope maybe by Valentines day!!
This means I am back into the teens for sizes. I was up to a 22w but now I am wearing an 18 regular!! no W !!
What if by this year I got out of the teens and got into the single digits!!! YAY!!!!

sugar!!!
Now that I have been at this a few weeks I have noticed my taste is changing and my appetite is different.
I had black tea and since I am used to green tea I put a splenda in it to take the edge off. But i realized i finally enjoy tea unsweetened. I hated it 3 weeks ago when i started it but now i really enjoy my tea with nothing in it! Too much sweet makes me thirsty and i don't like it.
Also i noticed i get fuller faster! I ate 1358 calories today and i am going to bed full and content.
Changes changes!!
Oh and today i wore a shirt that i haven't worn in 2 years!!!

Zumba
So I considered myself a Zumba intellect since I have been doing it on my wii and of course I have been to 3 zumba classes 3 years ago so of course I am an expert.
That was until I went to Zumba last night. I went with my cute capris and one of those cool shirts that all the hipster runners are wearing, Well about a minute into the class I realize that my capris are riding up and my shirt will not stay down so on top of stay on top of the moves I had keep tugging at my shirt and pants. Not only did my shirt ride the sweatier I got the more it would cling to the place you never want a shirt to cling. It was embarressing.
But besides the clothing incident I had a fun time. We had people at all stages of zumba there. There was a lady who was close to 400 lbs moving and shaking with all of us and even some young kiddos having fun.
It was a fun experience and I look forward to going back on Wednesday, well in a more forgiving pair of pants and more lose t-shirt.
