Today I will be am proud of myself. I'm proud that I have been logging my food, staying within calories, and made it to the gym last night. I am proud that I am starting to take care of myself and feel really motivated to keep moving forward and not stop! I am happy that I have people in my life who believe in me and my abilities, even when I doubt myself. I know that this has been a long time in the making, but I really can actually almost see myself succeeding this time. I think this is it. I think that I will make leaps and bounds of progress this year. 2016 is the year. The year I become healthier. The year I find me.
I stepped on the scale this morning and was down -- 296.7. Okay...moving in the right direction now! LoseIt! says that I'll reach my goal of 199 by Jan. 3 now. In 342 days I could be 199! How insane.
I .will.die. Well, not really...I'll LIVE...but you get it!
Yesterday I made it to the gym..not in the morning..but I went in the evening. It was insanely packed. Ugh. I still feel semi uncomfortable figuring things out and deciding what to do on my own when it's so crowded. It just seems that everyone knows exactly what they're doing and I almost feel in the way. But I did 22 min on the treadmill - at an incline - between 2-4% and about 3 mph. Nothing huge, but I was sweating! It was good. I did 3 sets of 15 with the Vipr bar. Did the skiing. And did a little elliptical. All in all, for just getting back into it, I felt good about the workout. I do kinda wish I had a Heart Rate Monitor so that I could better tracker my calories burned. I don't trust the machines and the apps because they just aren't connected to your body. But I don't think it's super important at this point. Right now, doing something is obviously more than doing nothing so it's gonna be positive!
Eating has been good. I've avoided the dreaded deliciously appealing candy dishes here at work. I've avoided regular pop. And I'm not cutting anything specific out of my diet. As long as it fits in with my calories, I'm okay with it at this point! But I've been more conscious of everything and even though it's only been a couple days, I'm feeling very good about it. I've been taking my vitamins, we've been doing really healthy dinners... Steve and I have both been making good changes.
I just am looking forward to not worrying about getting on an airplane, or an amusement park ride...wearing a bathing suit...trying on clothes...stuff that most people don't have to think twice about. Looking forward to sleeping better...feeling better...looking better!
Need to print this one up :)
