Today I hit my second mini-goal! I am officially down 11lbs since this journey began and although I had wanted to reach this weight a week ago I am still thrilled! It is time to set my 3rd mini-goal and that will be to lose 6 more pounds by Halloween aka my Birthday! If I lose 6 more pounds by then, it will be 17 pounds lost and that is halfway to my goal! Halloween is exactly 5 weeks away. That means I need to lose about a pound a week plus a tiny more. THIS IS DEFINITELY DO-ABLE!!! Let's talk about how I can make this happen:
- Keep working out 5-6 days/wk. Last week I got in 6 workouts so let's keep that trend up!
- Keep making healthy choices when eating/drinking and log everything -BE ACCOUNTABLE!
- DO NOT over-eat. When you're full stop eating.
- DO NOT eat food just because it is there in front of you!
- Don't order out a lot.
- Get enough sleep each night.
- Drink tons of water!
- Overall don't be lazy!
Here are some good JM quotes to keep motivated!
"Fitness to me is not about a crunch or a push-up; It's about taking your power back".
- Jillian Michaels
"Every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, perfet peace, health, and abundance".
- Jillian Michaels
It's time to take control of my life and how I want to live. I honestly don't know what I was thinking before. Did I just think being overweight was destined for me because so many people in my family are? Did I think I would look sexy on my wedding day if I kept my old habits up? Did I think I would like myself in pictures in the future if I didn't like them in the present? Did I think I was immune from getting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc in my older age and didn't need to take care of myself NOW to help prevent or fight those things in the future??? I DO NOT KNOW. I really don't. What the hell was I thinking before I started this? Well, whatever it was it's time to forget it and move on. All that matters now is that I have found something that makes me feel good, makes me feel healthy, and makes me feel alive. I am becoming passionate about being healthy and living a healthy lifestyle. I will reach my goal one day and I know I will feel absolutly amazing. I can't wait for that day -- but in order for it to EVER get here I need to WORK HARD NOW, AND KEEP WORKING HARD. For months and months more, I need to push hard, sweat, and watch what I'm feeding my body. Take care of it now, or regret it later. You're choice.
