“Don’t let a lapse
turn into a collapse.” I read this quote on another blog and it fits for me
right now. Just because I haven't been diligent in my eating habits the past
few weeks doesn't mean that this journey has ended. The roll down the hill
started before vacation and hasn't yet ended. Today I'm starting fresh. I can
envision my goal and what that looks like. I want this so badly and so I'm
making it a point to envision what I will look like at my goal weight whenever I
want to make a bad food choice.
I'll text people for support like my
wonderful sister who helped me today by telling me that if I cave and get the
snickers from the vending machine my work out tonight will only be to work off
the snickers. I wanted more than that from my workout. So I stayed strong
like she told me to be. It's not easy but I can do this!
I'll count on my hubby to hold me accountable. I stubbed my pinky toe tonight and tore part of the nail off. It hurt so bad and was bleeding. I cleaned it up but it hurt when I put my tennis shoes on to go work out. I was tempted to not go at all but Hubby said to go and at least do some of the weight machines if I wasn't up to the cardio machines. Well I tried and ended up doing 10 min on the stair climber and 30 min on the elliptical and then used the weight machines working my legs! Go me!!!
On Sunday I signed
up for a membership at the gym. I’m really excited about this. I miss going to
the gym. I want to have the motivation to workout at home but I just can't keep
it up. I seemed to be much better about going to the gym and working out before
getting pregnant with Cole so I'm hoping that's still the case. Plus this gym
has an outdoor pool and they gave us 8 free family passes to use at the pool
this summer! I did my first workout with my friend Stacey on Sunday night and
my abs and arms are so sore! Workout # 2 is tonight!
My weight loss goal
is to lose 25 more lbs by the kids birthdays in September. I know I can do
this. It took me 4 1/2 months to lose the first 25 and I know I can do another
25 in less than that if I get my mind in the game. I need my friends and family
to hold me accountable. Sunday afternoon after visiting the gym and getting the
tour Jared suggested getting ice cream and I turned him down! And he was proud
of me! Some days are going to be harder than others but the hard days can't
stop me from meeting my ultimate goal.
In the past 3 weeks
I've gained some weight back. So my fresh start is at 189 lbs. Here I go!!!
