Day 2

Day 2 went really well, not as good as day 1, but still good!

I stayed just about within my calorie range (I think I was -18 calories which is wayyy better than I was doing before). I didn't go for a walk so I am sure that was part of it.

Day 3 has started off really good as I have already gone for a walk today! I also got a FITBIT in hopes that will help me stay on track. :)

That's all for today!

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...

The voice in your head that says you can't do this.. is a liar.

Oh how true that is. 10 weeks ago I started putting all that I had into Couch 2 5 K, I got on the treadmill (because it was still really cold and miserable out) and I turned the app on. I got through what felt like the hardest work out of my life. I was sweaty, red faced and out of breath, I was convinced that someone, somewhere invented this app as a form or torture masked in exercise. I kept going though, I pushed through the soreness took some time off to rest my aching legs. Once I started running outside it got a little easier, aside from the hilliest of hills, the fresh air helped me out. I ran through an intense allergy attack (remember that photo where my eye was totally swollen? Miserable.) I ran in the rain, I ran in the heat and the cold. Eventually I stopped dreading it and stopped hating whoever told me I should run in the first place (which was actually me, I was hating myself). This morning I finished couch 2 5 K, someone who in high school would slowly walk the mile and...

Officially 20lbs lost

Image
I have been having a hard time the last month or so, every time I get back on track..I let something derail me. Well even with the lack of exercise, I've still been losing weight. I lost another .6 lbs which seems like not much, but it put me over the 20lb lost mark! Hooray! It's taken quite a long time to get these 20lbs off but they are gone and now I just have to look forward to the rest of the weight coming off. I have 35 pounds to go till I hit my goal and 25 pounds till I am back to where I was pre pregnancy. I can totally do this! Every day is a struggle to eat well and a push to exercise but I have been keeping my goal in mind. My timeline for my goal is to lose the majority of this weight by my 30th Birthday in August. I downloaded a few apps on my phone to help me with getting back to running. I originally had used Couch 2 5k to start running and have honestly been making half assed attempts to get back to it. So I downloaded that again along with 10k and 13.1, my e...
