Food is my hardest battle.
Food is the solutions to all my issues except when it comes to clothes shopping, then I hate my food relationship.
After the shopping is done, then the food and I are back on like nothing ever happened.
It's sad.
I've been trying to count my calories lately and that is tough!
I am trying to still figure out what and when I should eat so I am not starving within an hour.
This is definitely a learning process that is for sure!
I'm slowly learning about how to truly read labels and understanding what all the "bad" ingredients really mean.
I've always known how to read label, but never really paid much attention.
Holy shit I didn't realize how much stuff goes into our food!
BUT it's still a learning process, and it's a tough road considering I love anything and everything salted and fried...
Anywho, I'm trying to see what works for my body.
I noticed how my eating habits are effecting my mood, energy, and exercise.
I suppose this is why they say it's a journey.
Completely true!
Also I've noticed how much of a mental battle it is when trying to lose weight. I try to push myself during my workouts. I feel like quitting and I literally have to shout in my head NOOOO!!! just to keep going. I have tell myself just get to this point and once I get there I give myself a new point to reach.
Yesterday was an EPIC day for me.
1. I ran (fast walk-job/fat girl bounce) my fastest mile yet. I'm a slow runner and I'm ok with that. But I've improved my mile by a total 2.5 minutes!!!
2. I've done the most miles I've ever done. 10.77 miles were completed yesterday!! Yes my feet were numb, I felt like a wet noodle, and I was dizzy, but the moment I was done, felt incredible. I couldn't believe I did that!
3. After seeing what I was able to do yesterday truly made me see how we have the ability to change and challenge our bodies! It's amazing!
So with all of this stuff going on, it seems like I've encouraged a few people at work, so on Monday I am starting a Weight loss Challenge at work. My girls there are excited and look at me for inspiration! Can you believe that I could be that for someone?! I still can't believe it!
It truly motivates me to keep going. I have a long way to go but I'll get there one day, and the fact that I'll get there is all that matters to me.
My weight loss goal is 90lbs.
GAG! I know.
Originally it was 100lbs, but I've lost 11lbs so now it's down to that #. I figured I'll just post my monthly progress pics which is normally when you can see the difference.
Hope my pics motivate anyone who reads this!
Have a great day!
