Committed and Feeling Good!

My calf muscles are SO sore from two straight days of jogging and other workouts. Taking a break today, and back at it tomorrow. BUT, I am doing consistently great with my caloric intake which is also a huge part of not only losing the weight I want, but also maintaining the weight I want once I get there again. What is my goal weight you ask?? 150-155 pounds. Right now I am 166 pounds. I got this!!! At one point after my reconstructive surgery I weighed 145 pounds. Which although I loved seeing a number that low (I mean what former obese girl wouldn't?) James and a few friends all expressed that I looked too thin... so I am thinking 150-155 is the better range to shoot for.

I can honestly say I am feeling a much stronger sense of commitment and determination right now than I have in over a year. Not sure what "clicked"... but glad it did. Maybe it was a certain number on the scale... or maybe it was seeing that the weight I put on was visible to me in my face and arms... but whatever it is I was NOT ok with it. All that hard work and also all the pain from surgeries will never be for nothing! I have a pic of "fat Eva" as my wallpaper on my phone just so I have a constant reminder. One day at a time people.. one day at a time.

Diligence

Trying to exercise more often (Gotta get rid of this excess 15 pounds that has been around for almost 2 years now). Last night I did a new intense workout that I found on YouTube. I definitely worked up a sweat. Tonight I am gonna go for a short run with Evelyn... and then do that same workout again. Feeling more determined lately and ready to be back in the game of diligence!! Weight loss surgery can help you lose weight, and it can give you confidence... but it can't fix the way you think about food. All things considered, I am doing great though... which my doctors also say. I am proud of the weight I lost, and will be proud when I lose this annoying 15 pounds too. I CAN do it... and I WILL do it.
