There is no doubt that losing weight is definetly a challenge. Actually it's more like excruciating! This past week I found myself at my all time low. I actually felt very hopeless and told Lance "I'd be fat forever"! I keep telling myself to push through it but the little voices in my head are telling me to give up. I noticed less participation from the other challengers, so I think we are all going through the same thing.
How can we help motivate eachother? What will help us get through our weakest moments?
Even though I cheated myself and I gave into temptation, I'm not giving up. Last week is the past and I just have to stay on track. I'm taking this day by day.
With all that being said, of course I dreaded the scale and figured I might find myself back to 153. Thank God I was only punished with a one pound gain. That pound is NOT going to stick around for long. My goal for Week 6 148.2!
WEEK 5 WEIGH IN: 150.2
So 6 weeks after I had Lauren( and the Dr gave the ok to workout again) I got a personal trainer at the gym for 6 weeks. In those 6 weeks I lost 10lbs. It was hard, eating right and working out, but it worked. After my training was over I kept it up and another 6 weeks later I was down 20 lbs. 20lbs is a big weight loss. After those 20, I've been up and down on the scale for the last 4 years but not by much. Once you lose the weight you want you will swear to yourself this won't happen again. I'm proud of you. It's hard. I know you though, and I know you're determined, strong, and very athletic. You can do this! Losing this weight is all about you. So indulge in it. You spend your life giving everything you have. Being healthy and working out is something that is all just for you! So take advantage :).
ReplyDeleteHey girl! So, I'm sorry I haven't updated with the blog in 2 weeks. I have been so stressed out that I am not eating much @ all. Maybe 1 meal a day. Definitely not good. I am forever trying to find the energy and time for a real workout. TEXT me. I will keep you on the right track. Maybe a daily text to see how things are going. I want to be here for you, and I appreciate you doing this to help get me back on track as well.
