Day 6! It's definitely starting to feel more natural, eating healthy, keeping track of my calories and looking for ways to work in some exercise. But I know from experience, all it would take is one bad day and I'd be done. Why is that? I give up so easily. I heard a quote last night comparing losing weight to climbing a mountain. If you stumble one day, just get back up the next and keep climbing! You haven't lost the progress you've made, even if it feels that way.
I haven't cheated AT ALL. Pretty impressive, I think! I've averaged about 1250 calories a day. And I'm trying to do something active everyday, even if I haven't worked out as much as I know I should. My new running shoes came yesterday! I was so excited, I laced them up and took off. They feel like a secret weapon- when I'm wearing them, I just want to get up and go! I'm still really wanting to go to the gym... But I don't want to invest in one unless I'm sure I can stick with this. Ooh! That would be a great incentive... When I reach a 50 pound weight loss, I can join a gym!
Speaking of weight loss... I'm really curious to see how much I've lost. I feel lighter. But I really want to wait the full week and weigh in on Friday. I read The Skinny Rules by Bob Harper, and he says you should weigh yourself daily... But I know from experience that a bad day or two really messes me up.
SkinnyTaste's corned beef and cabbage is cooking up in the crock pot for dinner... I'll let you know how it turns out ;)
Thincerely,
Kristen
