Total Inches Lost: 10.5"
I've been feeling so great as I keep working
out. I can't believe I've actually stayed consistent with my workouts
for about TWO WHOLE MONTHS now. This is big for me and I love the
feeling of being strong and CONSISTENT again. Even though I have not
been able to work out every day of every week like I would like to, I
still manage to get at least 3 days of good, hard workouts in, and
that's all I can ask for. Even with those 3 days a week, I am seeing
results! I keep losing inches and pounds. My pants that I bought right
before I started working out are baggy and I think I'm going to have to
go shopping again! Other good news is that I can fit into my old skirts
and shorts, so that makes me a very happy lady, especially for the
summer!! I can now wear shirts without feeling like I have to cover up
with a cardigan or a jacket. I love feeling more toned in my arms, legs,
and face, and being able to walk around and not fear about how I look.
I feel like I've been doing pretty good with my
eating, but there are days when I feel a need for salt! I do my best to
not snack on junk food but I don't know if I just don't get enough
sodium in the day or what! I usually try to make up for that with cheese
though and not chips or crackers. I've been really good about the
fruits and veggies. My FAVORITE after workout snack is an apple and
chunky peanut butter. I've been pretty good about avoiding the
sugars/candy/chocolate/
A few weeks ago, I got a bacterial infection
and my face broke out in such severe acne, I didn't think I could ever
face anybody I knew ever again. Along with being overweight my whole
life, I've hated seeing my fat face covered in acne. The thing that got
me through this these last few weeks has been knowing that my face
still looked good because it wasn't fat anymore. It may still be red,
but I actually felt PRETTY despite my acne because I knew I was losing
weight, that I was in shape, and that my face still looked Healthy. THAT
is what working out and eating right does for you. I'm still working on
my skin, and it may never be perfect, but honestly, having that feeling
of self-worth from making the right choices for my body has made the
whole difference in living with acne.
I feel like I'm not exactly where I'd like to
be, or where I projected myself to be after my first week of weight
loss. However, I am just happy to NOT be where I was and that I even
have any results! My 12 weeks are almost up, but I'm not going to stop
at 12 weeks. This is a new way of life. It takes 21 days to start a
habit. I'd say after 7 weeks, I've got that habit down. I want this to
be my life always!
