2 more pounds to go until I get back to my normal/goal weight of 153 pounds. Not bad. It has taken much longer due to my own lack of staying disciplined each and every day but I am so thankful to James who consistently watches and checks in on me to make sure I am not snacking when I shouldn't be and that I am eating right. I really don’t know how I would manage this without such a steady rock like him.
I have been exercising 3 days a week still and am currently doing one of the Jillian Michaels workouts. It is only 30 minutes long and on the surface doesn’t look like it should be that difficult, but DAMN….it kinda is! lol I always end it in a full sweat and feeling wiped out! I can feel that workout really hitting my abs hard and my legs as well.
I went shopping a couple times in this last week and bought a new pair of pants and some new/used shirts at the thrift store. I still get excited shopping and I can’t help but wonder if that will never change. I always get excited when shirts I think should be too small for me do indeed fit and it is so awesome that I have been a size 10 pants now for 2 years! I feel like the days of wearing a 24 Wide seem so long ago...yet they really were not. I hardly remember who that person was now.
Drinking enough fluids is getting easier (I don’t like water, so it has never been an easy task). I am working on using drinks as a substitute for when I get the urge to snack. I am keeping one “fun” drink in the fridge for me everyday to have in the evening...Fresca. It is zero calories, zero sugar, and tastes good! When I get the urge to snack at night I just have that and it really helps to pull me through that moment. I am also trying to keep actual water around me more….that is something I always struggle with when I at home. When I go out I drink a bunch of it no problem...but at home for some reason I just don’t think to drink enough fluids...and I am sure that if I drank more I would get more energy for the day than I have been experiencing lately.
So that is a bit of an update on how things are going….weight management going well...exercising going well...scars healing up still….and feeling great about being healthy and fit!! It’s hard to remain disciplined….but oh so worth it!!
