Getting comfortable

Today I realized something, I am starting to get to comfortable where I am. When you are trying to lose weight, there is a point that you reach where you've lost some weight and people are complimenting you. It feels great and you think to yourself, "well everyone thinks I look so great now, why should I keep going?"  I can feel myself slowing down and not taking this as seriously, so how do I stop it? How do I keep myself on track with this? 

Well I am back to treating myself the same way I did 14 pounds ago. I cannot stop, I cannot slow down This is something that I am doing, I am going to lose 40 pounds. I have 6 more pounds to lose before Thanksgiving to hit my halfway point. I don't have much time, so I definitely have to crack down on  my eating habits and my exercise.

Anyway, short post today.
Thanks for reading!

Level 2 of the Shred

I decided to give level 2 of the 30DS a shot, I' m on my second day of it and I don't feel sore. I really am questioning myself on how hard I'm working. Don't get me wrong, I am busting my ass and sweating like a pig when I'm done, but the fact is that I'm just not feeling sore. I feel like my body is adjusting to it or I'm not doing anything. When she says push harder and "I want you to be screaming at the tv" I am. Well maybe not screaming at the TV but I am whisperyelling at her to shut up.  It's a challenging workout for sure, but I want to feel that soreness the next day. Otherwise I really don't feel like I'm doing anything and that I'm not working hard enough. I think I might have to add something onto after the shred, maybe a second workout on demand that's a bit longer? Now there is a thought.  With that being said, I know that the 30DS is working. I lost 2 inches off of my waist and hips in the past 3 weeks and I fin...

Turning I can't into I can.

I know the title of this post is incredibly cheesy, I'm incredibly cheesy. Like we're talking melted queso cheesy. Cheesiest cheeseball there ever was, right here. Party of 1. I'm pretty sure my husband did not know the lengths of my cheesiness before he married me, oh well, he's stuck now. Though after 8 years, he's used to it. I think. Anyways.  Moving on because if I keep talking about cheese I'm going to need to eat cheese.   I went out for my first run in about 3..ish weeks today, I was nervous for a few reasons, I hadn't run in awhile, I've been super sick and my asthma has been killing me lately. I brought my inhaler which I usually never do on a run (and actually had to use it, so good thing). This session was 5 minutes of running, 3 minutes of walking, 8 minutes of running, 3 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of running. The first 5 minutes felt easy, I was going really really slowly but I was into it. After that I had a cramp, but was still ...

Motivation, Inspiration and realizations.

Last night while on the treadmill I had a realization as to why I have never been able to stick to losing weight or "dieting". I realized that I was always doing it for someone else, my mother, my husband, my friends.. but not myself. I have never done it so that I can feel good. This has been why I have failed every single other time I have tried it, it's a cycle. I feel embarrassed about the way I look because I'm afraid of what other people will think of me, so I say "I'M GOING TO START A DIET! AND I'M GOING TO LOSE 50 POUNDS AND BE 100 POUNDS!" (sorry for the shouty caps so early in the morning it's for emphasis)I then go crazy with the first week of the diet, maybe even the first month. I work out like crazy. I restrict myself to certain foods because they are not "in the diet"  so after the first month, I start to get depressed that it's not happening faster and that I haven't lost all 50 pounds. I then start slowly eatin...
