FINALLY

THE WEIGHT IS FINALLY STARTING TO COME OFF!!

I was frustrated in the beginning of my new "journey" at the beginning of the year, and I posted something on the facebook about it and everyone told me "wait until about week 8" over and over and over.  And so I've been waiting.  Not so patiently waiting.  And here we are at week 9...and slowly but surely I'm down 3 more pounds.  The scale hasn't moved for WEEKS.  And now out of nowhere it starts to drop!  

I've been measuring inches and since the beginning of January and I'm down 12 inches so far.  I'm down 31.5 inches since starting last June!  And over the summer I lost my first 25 lbs.  I'm down 30 lbs total now, with at least 75 to go!  

I feel so much better than I ever have, and I have almost become addicted to that sore "new muscle-post workout" feeling.  I love it!  I feel great!  I'm down 2 sizes too and all my summer clothes from 5 years ago (pre-babies) finally fit too! WOOO WOOOO!!

So excited!!!

Motivation

Some days I really have no idea where to begin.  I want the weight to just fall off, but it never seems to work that way... I have been working on my weight and myself for a solid 8 weeks at this point.  This is the longest I've ever stuck with it.  Usually it's a 2-3 week process and I'm over it because I haven't lost anything.  I'm pretty proud of the progress I've made, I just wish I could get some of the weight off.  I'm losing inches... like crazy too!  I just wish they would take the pounds with them when they left.

I've been struggling the past couple of weeks too... I think "oh i'm working out, I can just eat whatever."  Well I'm paying for it now.  I feel like POOOOOOOOP.  So today I "started over."  

If there is one thing I've learned in my life, it's to take it one day at a time.  One hour at a time or even one minute at a time too.  I have to do what is right for me, and not right for everyone else.

So here's to finding my motivation again... :)
