I finally got it!
I finally found the right mindset for getting healthy!
I have been back and forth on my workouts and no excuses either. I just haven't had my heart into it. I'd go and workout but not give it my all. I'd half way eat right but still give into temptation way to often. And I'm paying for it!
No Changes!
It's really a bummer because I have been working out now for several months and I could have been much happier this holiday season by wearing some of my favorite winter clothes but instead here I am back at my starting weight.
See I was starting to get more into it and starting to think about caring a little bit more and then we got hit with a cold! A coughing cold nonetheless which makes working out nearly impossible. So I'm in the middle of my 4th week with this stupid cold and it's almost gone but just feel like lingering a little longer. During the first 3 weeks of the cold I didn't workout and I gave into almost every craving I had! Because of this I started seeing the scale starting climbing back up again.
So who is to blame but myself (and maybe the cold a little bit)! But who is going to make changes? That's all me! I have to do it! I'm tired. I'm grumpy. I'm unmotivated. And I'm not being the mom and wife I want to be.
So I decided that I'm starting over again! I'm going to make sure that I hit it full force this holiday season and hopefully hit a very important goal by the first of 2014!
So far I have been doing great...even though it's only day 2. I have been eating betting! I stocked up on the right foods! I have back up emergency foods to help me in a pinch and need something right away! And I have completed 3 workouts in 2 days! In just two days I have lost 3 of the pounds I put back on!
I know that my weight loss won't continue that fast forever and I'm sure that I will have to work much harder to get the results I want but I really feel determined this time. Last time I felt that I was forcing myself to do something that I really didn't want to do. NOW I WANT TO!
I have several reasons for the change.
1. My workout buddy has been hitting it full force for less time that I have and she's down 15 pounds and you can tell a difference in the way she is shaped already! If that isn't motivation I don't know what is!
2. I'm sick and tired of being tired, cranky, moody, down, blah, etc all the time! I want to have energy! I want to be one of those mom's you see in the store and think "How the hell does she have that much energy!"
3. I want to go clothes shopping! My clothes are falling apart, have holes in them, stains on them and generally are just starting to look yuck! But I won't buy clothes for this size anymore so I'm stuck with them until I actually need clothes because the one's I have are falling off!
4. Most importantly I want to do this for me! I want to feel happy again when I look in the mirror! I want to put on clothes and feel pretty instead of fat!
I'm really starting out this time with the right mind! I'm excited to workout! I'm excited to eat right! And I'm excited to see the changes it will make in my life!
