I just finished reading through my previous posts looking for some sort of inspiration to get me going on my recent weight loss journey. Tomorrow is my one week weigh in (for the millionth time, sigh). As much as I hate to admit it, I somehow managed to gain back every single pound that I had lost from when I started this blog. I ask myself everyday what has happened in my life that would cause me to do that, and I still can't come up with the answer. Maybe it was laziness? Lack of focus and determination? Maybe I just really like to eat?? Stress? Life? Age? Maybe there isn't just one answer. Maybe it doesn't really matter. The fact is, I gained it all back and this time I am vowing to lose it, for good!
I have a really good reason for wanting to lose it too! I mean other than because I hate being fat and out of shape....I am going to New York this spring with my girls!! I don't want to not want to be in the photos because I'm fat. I don't want to feel terrible about myself because I hate how I look. I don't want to not be able to keep up with them because I'm out of shape. I don't want to not enjoy myself to the fullest because I feel uncomfortable in my own skin! This time it HAS to happen!
That is what brings me back to here. I know I can do this because I already have! I set my mind to it then and there was nothing that could stop me! It shouldn't be any different this time. As I mentioned before, I am one week in. I joined the local gym this week and went all 5 days they were open! I am pretty proud of that! I also did very well with my eating and water consumption 5/7 days. I am using My Fitness Pal to track my calories. I also only had pop this weekend when we were out and about. I could've skipped that too, but baby steps people lol!
However, I was a little discouraged this morning when I put on my jeans (Ive worn yoga pants all week...dont judge) and they were still tight. I didn't feel very good about myself when I looked in the mirror. But, I know I didn't put this weight on overnight so it won't come off overnight...although that would be AWESOME, amiright?? Honestly, I was hoping for more of a loss than that, for how hard I feel like I worked this week. And I know my official weigh in isn't until tomorrow, but I didn't workout this weekend and I didn't eat as well as I should have so I doubt I lost anymore. (Started at 195, weight was 192.8 today) One day at a time though, right!
Start Date: January 9, 2017
Start Weight: 195
