weight loss *august*

this month i’ve lost 2 pounds…i certainly wish it came off as fast as it goes on, lol…but at this point i think it might get a *bit* easier as now the rest of the family is on the train with me…we are going on FAMILY walks/runs and eating healthy dinners as a FAMILY…totally makes it easier when there are 4 of you doing it instead of just 1…
i’ve also bumped up from just walking all the time to running/jogging about half my walk…and i’m amazed at what my body can handle!  joey is my running buddy {his body can handle WAY more than mine, lol}…we are hoping that by this time next summer we could possibly do a 5k as a family…
here is my pic for this month…taken at 6 am…which obviously makes me look a bit like a hot mess…
and the flash seems to really accentuate the bags under my eyes, nice…

recommitting

so, i’m not even going to lie…i went on vacation last week and didn’t follow a single bit of my diet…every single day i ate WHATEVER i wanted!  i felt no guilt and knew that once monday the 12th came it was back to the grind.  i read up on tons of weight loss recipes, exercises and mags while i was on vaca and kinda made a little game plan in my head.

and no, i didn’t rush home and weigh to see what i gained.  that is just complete sabotage for me.  i would weigh, see how much i gained, be depressed and want to rush out and eat more.  i’m totally not falling for that game anymore!!  i will wait for a week or two to weigh in.

i’ve also joined a challenge to “lose 25 in 10″…that is lose 25 lbs in 10 weeks…and i totally KNOW that if i set my mind to it i CAN and WILL do it…one thing this journey has shown me, i am capable of way more than i ever gave myself credit for!  i AM strong and i CAN do the impossible (or what i use to think was impossible)…

so, if you’d like, join me in the “lose 25 in 10” challenge…we can buddy up and support each other!!

weight loss *july*

this month i’ve lost 3 pounds…again, not a huge loss BUT it’s better than a gain.  i have, since i started my “life change”, lowered my BMI by 10 points…and i now only have 33 more pounds to lose to be at my goal weight…33 pounds sounds like a lot BUT i remember back to when i started this journey and i certainly had a LOT more than just 33 to lose…and i am determined to just keep at it until i am there…
i knew for sure when i started this journey that it HAD to be a lifestyle change and it has become that…strange as it is, if i go a day without exercising or if i eat something unhealthy i just feel soooooooo horrible and guilty…i also know that this lifestyle HAS to be for the rest of my life…and i am determined to make it that!
