Little Things
Hello my friends. I wish I had some great excuse why I haven't blogged lately and I don't have ANY! I could make one up, that is not really my style. March was tough for me-my loss wasn't as fabulous as I wanted it to be, BUT i didn't work as hard. It was a small reminder that your goal results are a reward for your hard work. Honestly I worked my butt off at the gym, but I didn't eat as well as I should have. I guess I really shouldn't complain but I lost 9 pounds for a total of 28 pounds in about 3month period. I still have a LONG way to go, but I am still moving forward-that my friends is what MATTERS! A few things that have happened in the last few weeks-
Small things matter-Every small ounce I loose it great, but I am doing this contest so I will feel good. A few things that I have noticed lately about my weight lose is:
- I can take my wedding ring on and off without soap or lotion
- When I park next to the trail at the legacy center I can walk between it and my car with feeling squished
- We went to the movie the other night when it was rainy and I ran with my kids to the doors without passing out or dying! (THIS WAS A BIG ONE FOR ME!!)
- Healthy eating really helps, I got a vitamix! SO in love with it!!! It's AWESOME! We do smoothie's, salsa, soup and CRUSH ICE! It's been so easy, and my kids love spinach in it!
- Eating after 7:30pm really makes a different. I try hard not after 7:00 but 7:30 is my limit.
- Make it fun! I hate mornings but once I am at the gym, I feel GREAT! I do my own work outs, but I have tried to find 3 classes that I love to change it up a bite. Its not only the workout you have to like, but it's the teacher too! I have about 4 classes that I try to make every week. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing or what they look like in a class. I struggled with this for a long time! When I work out in a class I feel like this
But in all honesty I know I look more like this.......
I sure hope you laughed out loud! Because I did, and I am still! One of the other things that I have learned is that there are MANY kinds of people that go to the gym. So like to workout alone, and have some time to themselves, others like to sweat with friends, and some even just come for social hour. The important thing is that they are ALL there! I know that my heart is healthier because and these habits that I am forming. I challenge you all to go, work out. It doesn't matter if it's a gym, something that you have in your houses, a Pilate's video, or for a walk with you kids. Do SOMETHING! Make it FUN!!!
Until next time.......
