Pep Talk

I admit it, Ive been in a little funk for the past few weeks (or maybe about a month). I could make excuse after excuse if I wanted to but I wont. There are a few and you have read them in previuos posts so I wont go back into detail.

This morning I decided to go ahead and weigh, and really stick with the number that was on the scale....and not play musical scales this time. I have noticed that my scale at home is about 1lb diff from the scale at work. I have decided for right now just to stick with the number thats on my scale at home.

So Im proud to report that I am back down to 150. I could have took off my bracelet, necklace, and watch and been 149.5.....but why go there you know? Im just thankful I was able to knock off a few lbs from last week esp since Ive steadily been going the wrong direction.

What did I do diff...IDK? Eating has been pretty good, Ive been making better choices. I havent been able to work out a ton but we have been doing a ton of yardwork, and tonight I got a good walk in around the neighborhood. I think I have decided to just do something diff everynight. Keep my body guessing.

Depending on the temperment of my child, how work went, and what I have to do when I get home will decide what exercise is on the agenda. There will either be a Jillian workout, walk in the neighborhood, or run on the treadmill. Totalling at least 30-40 minutes.

I feel pretty good about my progress....Im enjoying summer and my family....and did I mention I have already lost 20lbs? I only have 4 more lbs till my pre pg weight and maybe I can knock off the final 6 bf we head to MX in the spring. It would be awesome if it happens by the end of the summer but if it doesnt Im not worried....this is a lifestyle not a race right?

So there it is...my pep talk (to myself). Im still here and reading all the motivating weight loss blogs out there....I hope you girls arent too bored with me and I can still motivate you as much as before.

I think it's great that you are still losing and didn't get a chance to get a workout in lately!!! Losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise, so if you only have time to focus on one thing - let that be your diet, and if you have time - like you said - then worry about walking or running or whatever after! I have no doubt that you will lose 10 lbs by the spring for your vacation. You've been doing so well that I have faith in you!

You are doing great and you have a good attitude about it. It's so important not to get down on yourself on this journey. You are right - you have lost 20 lbs already and that is awesome. The rest of the weight will come off, no doubt!
