Today is absolutely frustrating! I find it ironic that yesterday I used an analogy of a car working correctly in reference to dieting and then today my vehicle starts acting up! Talk about fate! Now I have to take it to a shop or let my little brother take a look at it.
That still didn't bother me as much I think as would in the past. I missed Ruby and biggest loser this week on t.v. However am grateful I did! I was outside moving around with my son and his buddies! So I didn't miss nothing! I love watching both programs don't get me wrong, but the exercise was much more rewarding than watching a t.v. show. I have now officially signed into my local YMCA! So yeah for me! I will be taking water aerobic classes and having the use of the facility gym! That to me is awesome! If nothing else happens I know for a fact that I will be walking indoors as well as out and now with the water aerobics....I hope to gain some strength and muscle back! I have also began this eek to implement the tip from the biggest loser about changing it up. I go for a weigh in on Monday! So wish me luck! We will see if that tip is true for anyone or just for the players on the ranch. I am amazed how every time I go for a weigh in it is a double digit loss! However, I don't weigh myself weekly like most of you do. I find it more rewarding to do it 2x a month.So in reality I am losing from 5-8lbs weekly. Which to me is still good! I'll take 1 pound! Anything is better than nothing at this point!:)
The dietitian I am seeing say that a normal weight loss expectancy of 5lbs a month is realistic. (You can lose 5 lbs lady! I want as much as it to come off as I can!) I push myself harder and harder each to week to accomplish new goals and set a higher standard for myself! It is becoming easier and easier to make the "right" choices in food as well as in activities! Still I am not convinced! People Rome wasn't built in a day! I can't just sit here and say it's easy peasy lemon pie! Because I'd be lying out my ass if I did! My weakness still include making good choice while away from my house and I still have to work on alot of personal issues that wait in the hallway as I come down this long corridor. So don't think because I blog and am positive that I have any secret answers or tricks! I am learning from you all! Which to me is the fun part of this journey! The highs and lows of weight loss can take it's toll on someone without a positive attitude to hold your hand thru it all. Smile people we've been thru worse.....Some of us more than others! Get your shoes on, grab a water bottle or drink and take 15 minutes from your busy life to get up and out! You will be so glad you did!
