Hey there.
I know I know...it's been quite a while since I have been on here.
4 months actually.
So...I hope you haven't missed me too much! Just to clear things up...I didn't quit my weight loss journey or my blog...I was taking a much needed break. Some people thought I was just "pretending to turn over a new leaf" when I started this blog and when I decided to take a break to focus on doing the best thing for my daughter they said I wasn't "following through" and that I "quit when things get hard". They even made fun of my blog name. Haters gonna hate! I focused on breastfeeding my daughter and we just hit our one year mark yesterday! My goal was one year so now I am completely ready to take on my weight loss goal! And those haters can just sit back and watch as I crush these new goals I have for myself!
I have been eating healthy for a week now (except at my daughter's birthday party yesterday...that was my cheat day). I haven't worked out at all...that portion of my journey starts this week! I have said it before and I will say it again...its amazing how good I feel after just changing the way that I eat. I have more energy and I just feel like a whole new person. I have also noticed that my bloated belly (I looked 7 months prego) has decreased in size since I started eating right. It could also have something to do with cutting my soda from almost a 2 liter a day to one glass (I need some caffeine in my life).
Last weekend I went to Sam's Club and stocked up on all of the healthy foods that I needed to prep all of my meals for the week. It might sound totally lame but I have seriously been looking forward to getting back on track and crushing some of my weight loss goals! It's been forever since I have focused on myself. I am the person who makes sure everyone else's needs are met before my own. Well...I have been looking at gyms in my area but I think I am just going to try to lose the weight myself and once I hit a point where I'm not losing much..thats when I will get a membership for a gym.
In the past 4 months my husband and I have reevaluated our friendships. Living 11 hours away from family gets really hard at times and finding genuine friends in a military town is not easy. We ending a friendship that we thought was genuine but in the end we were completely wrong. I am proud to say that the few close friends that we do have really mean the world to us. The support that I have from them is amazing.
When I weighed myself last Sunday I was 232.8lbs.
Today when I weighed I was 228.4lbs!
So in my first week I have lost 4.4lbs. I would say I'm pretty happy with that number since I haven't started to work out like crazy yet!
My plan is to stay active everyday. Even if that means just kicking a soccer ball around in the yard with my 3 year old...I want to stay active. I finally purchased a double jogging stroller so I will be able to go walking or running with both kiddos while my hubby is at work. I am not sure if I will be starting T25 again yet or not but I will keep you posted!
One Last Thought
If your "friends" don't support you and the choices you make they probably aren't looking out for your best interest.
See you next Sunday!
I'm about to lose it!
