Month 1

So its been a month since I made a pact with myself to lose 10 lbs by my 30th. Tired of hearing about it yet?

As of today - the 19th Im down 2 pounds. Im very happy with this. Yes 2 lbs is hardly anything but its something and Im excited to go the further challenge of keeping it off and not gaining it back. Ive learned to use the Naturally Thin mentality to the best of my ability.

- Im eating what I want, but in small doses. I dont measure, count etc. I just eat what I feel is a decent serving and stop. I know there will be another experience to try that food again. Eating is everyday, so I dont need to eat like theres no tomorrow in one sitting. Tracking calories worked for 2 weeks, I still think about it but on more relevant terms. Im going to see what happens this month and if there is no weight loss we'll go back to the drawing board with charting food and see if there truly is an impact....right now Im just not feeling it. Just like my last post, love/hate.
- Im moving more. I dont freak out if the week is cramed full of stuff to do after work or onthe weekends. Im moving if its cramed full right? & if Im in my normal routine I get on the treadmill. It works.
-Im not looking for body building status, just a healthy mentality about my workouts and what I eat.

Its been nice being relaxed about this. Im being realistic and not putting my life in a bubble and breaking down if I have a couple of bites of ice cream....its a couple of bites people! I dont look at my house and scream I dont have time to clean you right now I. Must. Get. On. The. Treadmill. Nope none of that. I get on there when I can which is working out to at least 3 times a week. With some swimming thrown in....you know the boat and all ;)

There is a challenge coming up though that I prob mentioned in my last post. Vacation. Thats what it is; Vacation. Im giving myself one thing to remember. Just one thing.....bc its Vacation. Water. Remember to drink my water. If thats all I do Ill be happy.

I always come home so bloated and feeling disgusting when I travel bc Im off my water routine. I need to make sure i stay hydrated so I digest properly making sure I dont get bloated or uncomfortable. Can you believe I just broke that down? Well I did and its SO true! Hopefully its as easy as it sounds, but this is the hardest thing I struggle with on the weekends, and why i dont weigh in till mid week. I give myself a few days to clean out with water.

Im glad Ive began this path, Im actually learning alot about me. Somehow this time this whole process feels so peaceful. Its actually refreshing!
