GUYS I cant stop staring at my before and after pics! I am so grateful I took before pictures! It was so hard to do it but it is so worth it now. It makes me so motivated! I didn't even want to take pictures for this update today cause I felt like there hasn't been a ton of change since the last ones I posted but man I'm so glad I did! If these pictures don't scream JANELLE its all worth it I don't know what will!! For my update today I kinda for my sake would like to do a quick recap of my journey so far. So bear with me k?!
Week ONE- I was literally puking doing the workouts, I felt so mad at myself for letting myself get as fat and out of shape as I did! I read my getting fat story everyday to keep myself inspired to continue.
Week TWO- Felt stronger, no more puking. (yay) Started to feel confidence coming back. No big results physically but totally felt the emotional results.
Week THREE- Feeling stronger by the day, shaving off 5k time. I remember feeling so proud of myself after every workout!
Week FOUR- I had a ton of weight come off my first month can't remember exactly but I think it was like 16 lbs. I was feeling super strong, way motivated, and so excited about my results!
Week FIVE- I spent the whole week and 2 days of the next week super sick! I spent most those days in bed. I had a really bad cold and just felt like crap. I remember being excited cause I somehow lost a pound still that week.
Week SIX- No weight loss this week I chalked it up to coming back from being sick and I think I had lost some of my momentum. I was still working out daily but I started to let my food lack a little. Being discouraged about no weight loss I decided to do my measurements for the first time. Seeing I had lost 17 1/2 inches got me way excited.
Week SEVEN-
I gained almost 4 pounds in week seven. :( Week 7 I started to weigh myself everyday. It was messing with my head so bad. I didn't even realize how bad until the end of the week. For example I would have a day my eating was bad and then the next day I would weigh and I had lost a little so then that day I would rationalize well yesterday I ate that and lost so Ill be fine. You can imagine how a week thinking like that can really get you off course. So by the end of a bad, bad food week I had put on almost 4 lbs I was freaking the heck out!!!! So worried I was gonna fall back into old ways! So I called Elise in a panic and told her she had to help me get back on track. She told me no white flour and no Junk food. If I was to say one thing I learned in WEEK SEVEN it would be JUNK FOOD + GYM = NO RESULTS!!!!!
Week EIGHT- I got myself back on track week eight. No cheating for me I had 6 days of NO white flour and NO junk food. Worked hard all week to get my MADNESS letters back from what I had lost the week before. Also I didn't get any where near that damn SCALE!! By my end of week weigh in I had lost 4 lbs :) Oh ya that's right, started Week NINE back on track!!
Thanks for bearing with me that recap was mainly for me! :)
After a hard work out I am always asking my girl Stevie and my hubby "AM I SKINNY YET" cause I totally feel like I should be." :) I have done every diet out there some over and over and look where it got me! 216.4 lbs Yes in the moment I lost super fast on HCG or the LEMONADE diet but you cant live starving your self forever and I would never learn anything about being healthy on that crap. It was not a lifestyle change! It was for fast results, that by the way never lasted!! So I'm okay this time around with it being a slower healthier process and I know one day when I say "AM I SKINNY YET haha the answer will be yes. I think that's why weight loss can be so hard. For example when I go out to dinner with friends and I pick the 350 cal meal over the 1500 cal meal I always want to ask "AM I SKINNY YET" "Can you see on my thighs that I JUST MADE THE CHOICE TO HAVE 350 cal instead of 1500" Nope not skinny yet and nope no one can see in that moment by looking at my thighs that I just made the healthy choice. But looking at my pictures after these 8 weeks I seriously see all those choices and all that hard work is totally adding up and I am looking amazing!! -JUST SAYIN- ha :) Weight loss really is a journey it comes from commitment and hard work. I am changing so much of the way I think by doing it the healthy way for the first time in my life and I know for that reason alone I will succeed! But in the mean time I am so grateful to feel so much healthier!!! I feel more like myself than I have in years! I feel beyond grateful for the inspiration I received to begin my LIFE STYLE change! I have a LONG ways to go but I'm committed to getting there! Thanks so much for all your support everybody! until next week -JANELLE
