Ok... to say I'm slacking is an understatement! I have been on here quite a few times and I started just typing away and something just made me delete it all and move on to my next project. Well now I'm back. Here I am it's June 6, 2013. I am 5 months into my life changing weight loss journey and I have successfully lost over 50 lbs FOR GOOD! I have never been able to achieve this before in my life and it is the best feeling in the world!!
My sessions with my trainer were finished up over a month ago and I have been taking some time to find my own balance and bearings. Trying to continue this on my own .. easy? not at all. worth it? you betcha! I have had my ups and my downs this past month and I've also had many slip ups. The most important thing is that I never gave up. I might have beat myself up a little bit but never as severe as before. I just had to make sure that even if I allowed myself the day (ehmm.. or weekend) to cheat that I started back up with my diet and working out. I am not who I was so I have to change who I am every single day. I love my new life and I wouldn't want it any other way. It's still not "easy" like I thought it would be... LOL. The workouts need to continually become more intense to continually challenge your body. The eating part is easier but there is still temptation on a day to say basis. My will power is stronger but I still have my weak moments. I am only human incase you forgot. I see people online who work out 3 times a day and never cheat and this and like GOOD FOR YOU but that is not possible in my life. You need to find a balance and find what works for you and STICK WITH IT!!!
I absolutely love my new eating habits. People are constantly asking if I get sick of what I'm eating. The answer to that is NO. If I was getting sick or bored with what I was eating I wouldn't continue to eat this way. My food is D.E.L.I.S.H!!! There are so many minor things I can switch up in my diet to change the whole meal. I either switch up the type of protein I am eating or the way that I cook my protein. Sometimes I will switch up the dressing that I use on my salads and that really throws it for a loop. My breakfast varies on what day it is, what I have going on and if I worked out in the am. It will either be a protein shake (with frozen bananas, chocolate protein, almond butter, almond milk and a few ice cubes.. and sometimes strawberries.. HOLY DELICIOUSNESS !) or eggs with bacon ( who gets to eat bacon on their "diet" ?!? oh ya thats right.. THIS GIRL :) before you get all "judge-y" just know that I don't eat it often but I am allowed to eat it) and somedays I resort back to the basics (25 almonds, a protein shake and a piece of fruit.). I have found that this works for me but it doesn't always work for everyone.
My newest goal that I set for myself (besides not dying at the 2 5k's I will be doing next week LOL) is to lose 30 lbs by Labor Day! Don't judge it is TOTALLY possible and as long as I continue what I am doing I already consider it DONE! ;)
I have come to find that I am constantly talking to people about my journey because there is an obvious change in appearance and attitude. The one thing I want to say is YES, I do eat. Thank you thank you verrrry much for your concerns! HA! I started telling people that I stopped eating in December when I started my weight loss journey and they look a little confused. LIKE DO YOU EAT??!?!? Lmao .. Sometimes it is a lot to take on and I hate to sound like I am bragging but I am constantly hearing people tell me how good I look. I appreciate all the love no doubt but sometimes I just get overwhelmed. I will say thank you and I catch them them just creepily staring at me and I feel so vulnerable! LOL I feel that I need to hide myself or something! Hahaha Maybe it will get easier as time goes on. I guess we will see!
This post seems to be like all my other posts in the sense that it is all over the place but guess what?! I don't care! I'm no english major I am just a 25 year old hairstylist from jersey who is changing her life one day at a time. My grammar probably sucks and I try too hard to make things sound proper ( which usually just make matters worse, haha) I am literally all over the place in life so it reflects in my ranting on here! I will just leave you with a transformation picture that my trainer posted on facebook last night.
The picture on the right was me October 2012 in Las Vegas and the picture on the right is me June 5, 2013.
Make yourself proud!! Stay positive Stay beautiful!! xoxo
