I did NOT fall off the wagon, I'm still going strong! Just wanted to get that out there first and foremost. Next, I wanted to apologize that I have not bee more consistent with my posting, school has been kicking my A$$, and I have been writing so many papers and other things that the thought of typing anymore made me cringe! My new school format has me writing a 3 page paper every week (and I'm in 3 classes!). Anyways.... about my challenge.
Well I survived a holiday weekend without blowing my "diet," for lack of a better word. And trust me the temptation was there. But I am finding it a little easier to say no. I still have a husband who will still eat/drink whatever infront of me. I guess he doesn't get that im a food addict! It's like if I was using crack and decided to stop. Well Adam is always smoking crack in front of me! Its takes all I have not to have a hit of that crack (and by hit of crack I mean sip of Dr. Pepper). But, I have to remind myself that this is my lifestyle change, not his. I wish he would do it with me, then I wouldn't have to make 2 or 3 different meals every dinner time! Oh well.
I finally went to the gym, mostly because I was dying to know what I weighed and not really that excited about exercising, go figure--ha. Well I don't know why I was soo anxious to weigh myself because the results were not pretty. 170. No that's not a word count for my post that is the number of pounds I am. This is where you all chime in "oh you don't look that big" "Oh you must be big boned" yada yada yada.. Well suck it up (or in, hehe) people because I am that heavy! That number was a shocker for me. I have NEVER EVER been this heavy before. I am heavier now than when I was 9mo preggo with Noah! It's insane. Seriously, seeing the scale tip that far to the right was like the wind was being knocked out of me. It was crushing. But I am over my pity-party of cursing my genes and obsession with food. Now, I look at is as it will just make my success even that much greater!
Where am I failing... exercise. I need to get moving! I always make dumb excuses! People help me out! Give me some exercise tips and support! I am not going to see the results I want until I get moving! Well tomorrow is measurement day. Im not expecting much change as its only been a week. BUUUT ya never know. I promise not to stay gone for so long =]
proud of you Sara!! =)
ReplyDeletedon't be a crackhead! haha
First of all let me say you are setting a great example for your family even if all aren't on board. Your mission is to slowly bring them around. Small steps...
ReplyDeleteSecond, the first days are the hardest days (hmm... I think that's the beginning of the Greatful Dead's Uncle Johns Band). Anyway...it takes two weeks to start a habit...so you only have to be strong and self motivated for 14 days. I recommend a Pilates Toning Ring which you can pick up at WalMart or Target. I use this puppy at Physical Therapy and it can kick your hiney. My other favorite at home item is the Exercise Ball. There are web sites with all kinds of crazy exercises you can do with it. I use it as a weight bench.
Last but not least...to quote your grandfather..."Do as I say, not as I do". :))
I'm going to be right by your side...keep it up!
Love ya!
