Today is a good morning. Both my babies are up (and happy!). I've had not 1 but 2 cups of coffeee...eeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm a little jittery lol, but I feel great! great! great! I'm really learning the benefits of a good cup of coffee in the morning while my husband is gone. Coffee makes for a better mommy!
I went jean shopping the other day. I fit into a size 20 jeans. (!!!!!!!!!!) I know to some people thats not anything to brag about, but for me... it was AMAZING! I haven't worn a size 20 in jeans in seriously... 7 (ish) years?!?! I've come close in the past few years as I've lost weight, but they never comfortably fit. I'm SO proud of my new jeans!!
Even with my success in a new size of jeans.... I haven't been giving weight loss my all the past month or so.... I know I keep saying I want to focus on it more and give it 100% and then I say it again... and again. Really no one is more tired of hearing myself say that than me... :( Reality is, I've made some changes that I've stuck with, but its not enough.
I tried Zumba on Tuesday and I loved it. I'm SO on board for the rest of the class. Every Tuesday. no excuses. I feel sore from only 1 class. Mostly from the lunges more than the dancing, I think... but it feels good.
I started out a few weeks ago making one small promise at a time. I vowed not to eat a single french fry for a year. (Still good on that promise by the way!) I think I'm cutting myself short though. Really? French fries?... THAT'S my promise? Come on, Christen, you can do better than that! Push harder.
"I am a work in progress."
1) I'm going to try to make sure my plate is half veggies and/or fruit at both lunch and dinner.
2) (at least) One snack a day is going to be either fruit or veggie.
This alone should help my eating habits from fall into routine unhealthy ones.
3) *this is going to be a hard one...* Make exercise a nonnegotiable priority. -- I've already committed to Tuesday nights zumba. I need ideas on other exercises though. It doesn't come naturally to me. I need to think of exercise as if it were a job. I'll have to just pretend I like it for now... maybe I can fool myself?
