One of Those Days
So I've been doing good with exercising regularly. But today I am having a "fat" moment. I know that it's going to take some time to get this weight off of me but I am not feeling it at the moment. I need some miracle cream to rub on mt stomach and thighs to melt away this fat. I know that's impossible. I'm just venting. I did zumba today which was fun and I sat in the steam room. It's just one of those days well I just fell super fat no matter what is going on.

I'm still in it!!
Yes, I am still exercising. I have lost 31 pounds so far. I haven't gotten off track as much as I used too. Every now and then I don't feel like doing anything. So I make sure that I do some type of exercise when I feel that way. I had to get some more micro braids because all of that straightening my hair after exercising was too much. And it was messing up my hair. I figured by this time next year I'll look like a healthier me. I can't wait to see the result of my hard work and determination. I already can see a difference and I love it!!

I Am Still Working It Off
I know I haven't written anything in a while. But I am still doing good with my workouts and eating habits. I haven't gotten off track and I am going to make sure that I don't. I have lost 26 pounds so far and I'm loving it. I got my curves back. :) I still have a lot more weight to lose. But i like the results that I am seeing from my lifestyle change. Because that's what it is. A lifestyle change. So I'm going to keep monitoring what I eat and keep working out.

I'm Loving It!

I have been exercising at least six days a week since I last updated my blog. It's easier to keep it up as long as I remember why I am taking this weight loss journey. And if you don't know, I'll tell you. I might be a healthy woman now, but if I don't change some things in my life that might change. But anyway, I lost twelve pounds so far and look forward to losing more. I can tell that I am becoming healthier just by the things that I can do that I couldn't do before or had problems doing. I am loving the shape that my body is taking. It's amazing what exercise and eating right can do for you. So I'm setting small goals that I can accomplish while I'm on my way to reaching my big goal.

I Did It!!
Okay, I have accomplished my goal of walking up the stairs at Mt. Trashmore and not passing out. I actually did it three times. I am so proud of myself. I have to come up with another short term goal. I have a long time goal and that is to be able to participate in the 8k at the Shamrock Marathon next year. All of my exercise will help aid me in accomplishing that goal.

And.........
I have actually been doing what I need to do to get myself to a healthier weight. That's how you supposed to say it, but what I really mean is "to get smaller , skinnier (is that a real word?) or better yet, be able to shop for sexier clothes in a regular store. Don't get me wrong, I love Ashley Stewart, but I need more options. We all know that when you go to the "other" stores, all of the plus size clothes look like they are for people who don't have any style. Anyway, I worked out four times this week. I walked four miles with my sister on Thursday. I went to the gym and worked my behind off there Sunday and Wednesday. And I walked at Mt. Trashmore today. I'm not sure how many miles it was. Then we went to Prime Outlet Mall today and I walked all around there. I guess that counts even though we were shopping. I have also been drinking my H2O. I have set some goals for myself and one of them is to be able to go up and down the stairs at Mt. Trashmore multiple times without feeling like I'm going to pass out. I'll get there, eventually. I'm feeling good about myself and how I am staying on track.

This week I did good with my exercise. I worked at the gym twice this week. And today I walked at Mt. Trashmore with my friend. It was a good walk. Next time I would like to walk another lap. It was nice to have a change of scenery. I also did some more exercise tonight. I talked to my Web MD coach yesterday and I'm supposed to work on drinking 91 ounces of water a day. Umm, I am going to really have to work on that. I drink water but not nearly that much. So I found a 57 ounce pink water bottle that I'm going to use to measure my water intake. I'm still working on eating at a decent time. My husband and I share the cooking duties. So I am stressing to him on the days he cook as well as when I cook that I need to eat before 8pm. I believe you are supposed to eat before seven but I feel like if we push for eight then we can work on eating earlier once that is accomplished. Because eating at nine and ten o'clock is not working and is not healthy at all. I feel really good about what I am doing. And the best part is I am doing it for myself.

Update
If you know me, then you know about the recent changes that occurred in my life. My step kids mother passed away and now they are living with us. It is a huge transition for all of us including the adults. Anyway, for the first two months during this transition, I didn't do any exercise. I started back going to the gym in March. I found the gym to be my haven away from home. I used to feel like I had to have an "exercise buddy" to help me workout. It's nice to have someone workout with you but I had to learn to do it by myself. I'm trying to reach a "healthier" weight for myself and no one else. So I needed to own up and come to the realization that I can do this on my own. Now don't get me wrong, I do have family and friends that support me on this journey. I know it a lifestyle change. And it is proving to be quite a challenge. I look at myself and wonder how in the world did I let myself get to this weight. I know that it's no one's fault but my own. So I blame myself only. With that said I am off to the gym on this Mother's Day so I can continue to get a handle on a situation that I let get out of control.
