Yea, About That...

So, I feel like a t-total liar right about now. Why? Well, I didn’t change a dang thing from my previous post. I’ve still been eating white bread, pasta etc…I am ashamed again… so ashamed, that I started on my whole wheat and brown rice yesterday. I am slowly coming to the realization that I have a small food addiction. Why does food have to be so damn good? If there was a way to make a salad taste like a what-a-cheesburger, I’d be a size 3! I told Mike (Next Level Trainer/Owner) that I needed an intervention line to call when I make the terrible decision to go through the Taco Bell drive thru, twice in one day…two burritos in one day? No bueno.

I may have been bad a few times over the last couple weeks, but I definitely didn’t let that de-rail my progress. In the past, I would have let one day of bad eating turn into a whole week of bad eating…then a month etc. etc. That’s how this whole vicious cycle used to work for me. Overcoming after caving in has got to be one of the hardest hurdles I have been faced with so far. That’s saying a lot considering we had to do an FLR last night at bootcamp. If there is one part of me that hates me being overweight the most, it’s probably my arms. If they could talk, they’d more than likely curse me every time they have to hold allllll this bigness up off the ground for any amount of time! One day, that will no longer be the case :)

I am looking forward to see what this tweak in my carbs will do for my journey, considering I still lost while incorporating the bad bads (pasta, white bread, white rice etc) into my diet.

Last night I had my 2^nd post lifestyle change weight and measurements done. So far, in a 10wk period I have managed to stay losing approximately 1.7lbs per week for a total of 17lbs gone (including the 2 I had gained and worked back off in the beginning). I was also down 3 more inches bringing my total to 8.15 inches lost (and never to return!). I am a measly 3lbs away from my first small goal of 20lbs gone. I can do it! I have also set a pretty legit long term goal of hitting my healthy weight by my birthday (Dec 24^th ) this year. I will have to work extra hard around thanksgiving…have you had my grandmama’s cooking? You can gain 10lbs just by looking at all that thanksgivingny goodness!

Side Note: I was able to wear a pair of jeans Friday night that I haven't worn since fall of 2012. It was great. Except the part where I went to pull them up and broke my finger nail in half. #biggirlskinnyjeansprobs

Anywho, if there is a moral to this post, it would be; even if you give in, don’t give up. Giving up may be easier, but you are only doing a disservice to yourself in the long run!
