WAHHHOOOO!!! This week I lost three pounds... but MORE importantly since I started this blog I have lost ten pounds!!!I haven't lost ten pounds since I gave birth! (Charlotte in her coming home outfit)
Thinking back on this first month, I learned how to tell when my body is hungry and how it is usually thirsty. I learned that exercise actually makes me less hungry and that healthy foods FEEL better than the junk I was eating before. I will still enjoy some of my salt and vinegar chips now and then, don't get me wrong, but I subconsciously pick foods that are better for me now.
Exercise wise. I can tell I have lost ten pounds not by the scale so much as I can carry Charlotte up the stairs in her car seat without getting out of breath (you guys know how heavy those things can be!) and I have more energy. I guarantee that if I had not started this project for myself when I did... well let's just say I would not be able to function working 52 hour weeks and coming home to be with my daughter and husband.
I feel AMAZING. It is kind of ridiculous how excited I am. I cannot wait to be under 200lbs! Only five short pounds away!! If you have been on this journey with me, you know I have had weeks where I did not lose anything and weeks where I was up or down, but I know this is working! Even if I am not perfect with exercise every day (or every other for that matter) and I eat some chocolate or something, I am never giving up!
