So, I know that two day's isn't that long but I'm so happy! I've lost 4 pounds so far! Call it water, call it a battery fluke in my scale but I will tell you - if it had been 4 pounds in the other direction I wouldn't be blaming those things. My challenge has been evening hunger, which is a new one because I'm not a night time snacker. I haven't been tracking my food because I know with two shakes a day and healthy meal I'm under whatever calories I should be eating. The problem when I don't track is I don't think I'm eating enough and that's leading to the night time "Oh my gosh I'm starving!". I'm going to run to the grocery store today and buy some healthy snacks so that I don't have the crash at night. I'm totally craving celery for some strange reason. Mmmmm celery and PB2 mixed with some water :) Also I'm probably going to start tracking at some point, just not ready to do that now. I've added this video because I love that it's only 5 minutes, at home and looks like it's easy. Aw who am I kidding, I have stairs - they're not easy :) Regardless, as soon as my broken foot heals I'm going to add this into my daily routine. Who doesn't have 5 minutes?

No, this isn't my first weight loss rodeo. I'm scared, only marginally motivated and hoping that it will work if I work it. The reason I'm posting here is to hold myself accountable and to encourage others that feel the same way I do.
Today I had a wonderful conversation with my friend, Grace, and her health coach, Jorge. They both are on this journey as well and it's always encouraging to know this is not an impossible task. It doesn't matter how many times I've tried. It matters if I'm going to try again. I know how to eat well, I know how to work out, I just haven't. I can pile up the excuses but at the end of the day that is what they are. Now I've reached a weight that scares me and makes life uncomfortable. I say NO to that. Ok, maybe I'm a bit more motivated than I afore mentioned. Either way I'm going forward. I'm checking in weekly with my updates. Cheers to all who are traveling this path as well. <3 |
