These are just a few of the emotions I am feeling this
morning. I have weighed in at 270lbs
today. That is a 4lb loss since my last weigh in before vacation. That is a
20lb loss since I started this journey in May 2012. That is a total of 63lbs lost
since I moved home from AZ.
63lbs since I looked
like this!
I work hard and I am on track with my calories/weight
watchers points 95% of the time, but to actually see the results from the hard
work is amazing. If you do the math and see how hard I have been working and
how much effort I put in everyday there is no reason I shouldn’t be losing but
it is still just unreal to me. Can
anyone else who has lost a lot of weight relate with me on this feeling? I know some people might think I am insane,
but I have never been so proud! It really is showing me if you put your mind to
something you truly can accomplish it!
I find myself craving
healthy foods and looking forward to my work outs. Am I losing my mind?! LoL. I am just so proud
of who I am becoming.
Any who….. the boy and I did not go on our hike this weekend
because the weather was crappy. So we
have postponed it until this coming weekend (weather permitting of course.) Instead
we went on a 1.75 walk/jog around my neighborhood. I actually jogged for what I
feel was the longest distance yet. I don’t know exactly what that distance was
but I will be sure to measure it next time. I felt great afterwards and I can
really feel my endurance building up.
On Friday I did a new
work out video on demand and I hated it! But I stuck with it. It was 40 minutes
long and it was a mixture of strength, cardio, and abs, mainly focusing on abs
and strength training. I used water bottles for my weights, I figure something
is better then nothing. I have a friend who gave me three pound weights that I am going to start
using. They will be fine for now. I know
I will probably be ready for 5lb weights in a month but I am not worried about
that today. From now on I will stick with the DVD's I like.
After doing the work out video I made a 2 egg white omelet
with red and green peppers and a cup of watermelon on the side. Man was it
delicious. I decided to take a pic to
share.
Today’s post is all over the place but it is better then no
post at all. Hope everyone is having a great day! Thanks for reading!
I know what you mean, even when I'm eating right and working out I'm still sometimes surprised by the number on the scale, I think we just need to give ourselves more credit for the hard work we put in :) love your blog!
