I saw a picture of myself today, it was only a year and a half ago but I couldn't recognize myself because I was so slim. I mean, slim for me. A friend of mine got me into doing 10 day lemonade fasts to lose weight (well water weight) quickly. She and I would binge eat healthy foods in large portions and then after "bloating up" and not being able to really fit our clothes we would fast. And I tell you it actually worked. Eventually we kept shrinking and in that picture, which I took a few weeks after breaking a 10 day all water fast, I was at my smallest.
I looked at the picture and thought of how beautiful I would be if I could only be that size again. I looked at that picture and craved a way to reach my goals faster. For instance, instead of bloggin now, I could be working out for my second time today. But I realized, that what I am trying to achieve is not quick results. I have had those come and go. I want to have a lifestyle change.
I started my day with working out at the gym and I ate good healthy food in right portions throughout the day, so does that mean I need to be a mad women and work out some more at 1:30am, as if that one action is going to shrink me to my desired size overnight? I should think not. I think being steady and consistent with my habits is the best way to win this race. But of course if that fails, I could always just get gastric bypass. lol.

I'm still submitting to a healthier lifestyle. I completed day 5. Thank you God. I had to force myself to not weigh myself. I will do it monthly at the end of the month. I got my 30 min. workout done today. I need to get more resistance training in. I'm always doing aerobics with only a little resistance. So, I will have to try to incorparate it more. At the end of the month I'll have done 10 days in a row and I'll measure myself to see if I've lost any inches as well as pounds. Hand in there, we can do this.
Day 6 I completed sooooo late yesterday around 11pm and
After hanging out with friends. I had a few drinks. I didn't think I was still gonna but I told myself I have to. So even though I was tipsy I worked out pretty hard. I'm not encouraging nor suggesting to anyone to do what I did. I'm just sayin there are no excuses. We should always achieve our set goals. Especially when it comes to health and fitness.
I completed day 7 around 6pm today. I'm tryin to stay focused but next week I have to kick it up a notch. I still do have some eatin relapses. I ate some cookies yesterday and today, but I still have my weight off, I couldn't stay away from the scale. I had to get on the scale today cause I got worried about the cookies and eating late at night. I put my mind at ease, and I found out I'm down 11lbs. Total. I'm going to try my best on next month to stay off the scale til the end of the month. We'll see....
I hope everyone is doing well with achieving there fitness and healthy living goals. I'll continue to try harder and do better. Good luck.
11 pounds is good progress!
