Well this month of July was a beta test for me LOL. I wanteded to see if I could eat within somewhat normal and exercise; keeping my weight round the same. More less for one to give my body a rest from the strict diet I have been on since Jan 5th, 2010. Secondly to give in to some cravings so I can start back on my journey August 1, 2010 for my last 25 to 30 pounds. Well everyone I did it. this is really surprising to me since usually I would have started to gain back steadily. Not this time; must have been the exercise. I didn't go crazy and I didn't have take out. Normal home cooked meals as I followed my diet somewhat during the day and at night I stayed within normal meals. I probably had round 1500 to 2000 calories a day give or take. Some days I did however stay on track but others I went over. I am finding that I am really liking my diet and choice of my way of eating. Don't miss the high calorie foods at all or the breads, pasta. I do miss my diet foods. I will say I feel completely different not staying on track; sluggish and sleepy and not so focused as I was on my diet. Really had hard time getting the motivation to exercise and when I did; having hard time to come up with the energy to finish at a high peak as I usually do. Will say I am looking forward to getting back on track..felt like I was missing something LOL. Well this shows me that this time I don't think I am going to have a problem staying at this weight. THE KEY IS CONSTANT EXERCISE DAILY. With this you can pretty much eat what you want and stay at your weight but I will say you need to be at your goal weight.
My Mom is coming to visit this weekend....so excited...going to go to the casino on way home..and then she wants to go rollerskating Saturday night...will be so much fun!!! She said she may even go on my walk with me YIPPPEEEE...wow Nov 1st goal..100 days smoke free for my Mom and 100 pounds lost for me...100 years old my Nanny will be...can you say PARTY!!!!
Very high spirited tonight. Have to do my taebo. That is the other thing. With me not being on my normal schedule; I am finding that everything is not on track. I am now exercising late at night due to my procrastination. Oh well I guess it is better that I do it whenever than not at all :).
Looking forward to my posts August 1, 2010 and seeing my end results Nov 1, 2010.
Goal will be 100 pounds!! I will not be disappointed if I don't meet this goal..just think at New Years this year going into 2011 I will at least be 70 pounds lighter than I was going into 2010. Imagine for the last 16 years; every New Years my resolution was to lose weight. Hmmm this year I won't need to so I wonder what it will be? What a big relief that will be. I think the number 1 resolution is to lose weight. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders..hahah about 70 pounds. To me that is a big accomplishment. It really means alot with how different I feel with everything; work, home, social, energy etc.
Everyone needs to do this. Everyone needs to take one step to make themselves better. Just one step; that is all it takes, and I promise that it will; lead to the second and the third etc. This wasn't an overnight change for me..this has taken 6 months for me to get to where I am. I did it by myself..no pills, surgery or illnesses. Thank you for giving me the strength to get where I am today.
