'Nothing Tastes Better Than Skinny Feels'.... I need to constantly have this sign hanging in front of my face! In 2010 I lost 40 pounds. I was SO unhappy and felt so uncomfortable I didn't want to go out in public. I didn't like walking in front of people. I was always hot because I wore sweatshirts and jeans even on the hottest summer days. I was miserable. So I started taking a weight loss pill and lost 40 pounds in like 3-4 months! Unfortunately as soon I stopped taking them I gained it back. And then some.... If they still made the pill I would take it. I know its not the healthiest way but it works. But, they don't make it anymore. So I'm doing it the healthy way. I have pretty much no will power... so I decided I need to feel pressured to lose the weight. So what better way than to make it public? I am so going to regret this.... this is the hardest thing I've ever admitted..... I've gained 75 pounds since the end of 2010. 75 POUNDS!! How disgusting is that?? Everything is hard. I have no energy and don't want to do anything. Actually I take that back, I WANT to do a lot. Take Ali to the park, do yard work, etc... but I feel too embarrassed to be outside in public. SO. I'm going to lose the weight! I'm eating less, eating better and being more active. We have a park a mile away so when I watch my nephews a few days a week we'll be walking to the park, playing for awhile and walking back. I'm not ready to have a vigorous workout routine. If I do that then I won't keep it up. I HATE exercising so I need to do active things that I don't hate.
So here's my goal:
I'm running a 5K in June and by then I will lose 30 pounds.
I know 30 pounds might seem unrealistic but I'm so over weight that I think the first 20 should come off pretty fast. I can do this!! Alex and I are going to start walking every night and I'm going to do a short little workout every morning and night. Ahh! Hardest thing ever!! I found a picture of Alex and I when we lost all the weight in 2010, I'll try to find it and post it tonight!

I hear ya on the exercising. I hate it too. I think you're on the right track though...finding something that you don't mind doing. And a 5k?! You go girl.
ReplyDeleteI always remember something my hair dresser told me, not exact words but something similar to this...
ReplyDelete"If you want to change, you will. If you quit, you obviously don't want it that bad."
It REALLY bothered me for a while. But you know, it's totally true! I just didn't wan to admit it. Only YOU can change and want it bad enough to follow through!
We are going to kick butt in that 5K this summer! I think you are off to a great start! I Love You! <3
