SO I haven't been writing for a few weeks.. what can I say? Weight loss is a daily... no, its a constant minute by minute struggle for me. My brain is always fighting with my mouth. I Want to eat this, but know I should keep looking for something else better. more nutrition. more vitamins. just better. No matter how much "less" of a mommy I become, I will always struggle to maintain and make good choices. I will never be able to look at a cupcake and not once think about the calories it contains or the number of jumping jacks/your torture of choice it takes to burn it off.
The last few weeks haven't been really difficult or full of unexpected surprises... they've been rather ho-hum in the big scheme of things... I feel like I've lost my major drive that I had a few weeks ago starting this blog. And its time to get it back. I'm thinking of trying to incorporate more (haha... "more"... I made myself laugh. Lets be honest, shall we? I meant to say is any) exercise. Its too darn hot outside right now. I can't wait till fall comes... I can do indoor until it gets nice outside again. The heat shall not be a means to make excuses.
My husband and I got out the wii fit and played some today. I love my wii fit. I may pick that up more again. I don't feel like it burns a TON of calories, but its entertaining.
I have continued with my weekly friday weigh ins even thought I haven't updated... So, to catch up - 2 weeks ago... I lost a big fat nothing and was too disappointed in myself to blog about it. It could have been worse had I gained, but 3 weeks into my "dieting naked" mentality and I felt shame. In hindsight, I should have been honest and then just let it go. After all... I did promise to bear all, right? We can't be perfect all of the time. So there. I fessed up.
This past Friday, I lost 2 pounds. :) happy happy happy. I can't pat myself on the back too much though because I wasn't entirely watching every calorie... but overall, I feel like I made better choices. When I see good weight loss numbers, it makes me wonder what the numbers would have been had I REALLY given it 100% instead of the maybe 60% I actually did give.
Today is already monday, but I'm making a promise to myself and anyone who reads this that this week will be a good week. In the next week, I plan to find a time I can exercise and a method in which to do so... any ideas for a beginner? motivation tips?
32 pounds. 32 pounds. 32 pounds... I CAN.

You are such an inspiration! A good video for doing at home: Jillian Micheals. You will love to hate her...she is currently my enemy right now, and I have not popped her in since...well, it's been about a year! lol! We haven't made up yet, but when I do her video, she kicks my butt! Great workouts. I picked it up at Target - she has a lot out there.
ReplyDeleteZumba is great for beginners. It is so much fun and when I'm finished I hardly even realized I've been working out for an hour. Endorphins are seriously my drug of choice. There are days where 20 minutes into a workout I'm miserable, but I push and keep going and within a few more minutes I have a "rush". Good ol' endorphins...exercising is hard work but there are 24 hours in a day and if you can spend thirty minutes really pushing yourself, that's nothin! Plus, you will get hooked. You will feel better and want to do it and it pays off quickly; you will see results! That's my tidbit for you. Love your blog, keep up the work- it is so worth it!
