First with my awesome news....I lost 3 lbs this week!!! I'm still reeling! Learned so much about myself during the week.
One: I'm starting to be able to listen to my body. I think before I started I was eating so poorly there was a lot of "noise" going on that I couldn't tell the difference when I did good things because it was mixed in with the bad. Last weekend I spent Saturday and Sunday wine tasting. It took until Wednesday until my sugar cravings started to ease. My friend Sean, who's in wonderful condition, experienced the same thing when I asked her about it. That made me feel better! In the future if I plan on drinking I need to be prepared for my body's response. Two: Yesterday I went for a walk. I've been averaging about 1.25 miles, however, in light of my previous weekend's activities I decided to go Biggest Loser style for my last chance work out. I powered through 2.5 miles! I can't believe I did it! My calves were hurting after my first mile but were fine by the time I was done. I've been listening to some awesome podcasts from different ministers while I walk. When I'm done with my work o I'm really happy to see myself progressing and changing. I honestly didn't think I could do this, especially lugging around this much weight. I have wanted to push myself harder by adding in weight training and all kinds of other crap I think I should be doing. I've resolved that while I'm still in the easier stages of my weightloss, I won't start messing around with that stuff until I plateau. Since I'm at week 6 that should be soon I think. In the meantime I'm celebrating! :)

You should put something that weighs as much as you lost by your front door!

That little squirrel can NOT possibly weigh only 4 pounds less than Sallie! Are you kidding me? Leave a Reply. |
AuthorMy name is Kat and I'm a single mom of two young adults. I have not always been overweight but after having children and going through some personal hurdles, let it get out of control. My philosophy about eating is this: Eat real food. Real eggs, butter, veggies. Eliminating processed junk as much as possible. I eat butter, not faux butter product because I believe my body can better process real food rather than chemicals. Archives
