Last week I worked my butt off! And it payed off! I lost another two pounds. I am now down 23 pounds!
I let myself have a cheat weekend because I went to a Mom's of Multiples convention from Friday to Sunday. I didn't count points- it was really hard to stop concentrating on ok, Soo Starbucks tiny hot coco is 4 so this venti is like..8 or so? Add the muffin for breakfast, dang this sucks. And Etc. But After I saw my friend had a bag of chocolate in her hotel room all thought of adding points were quickly abandoned! I wore a pedometer throughout the weekend and mad sure to walk 20,000 steps during the day to allow the binges. On Monday morning I weighed myself and I didn't gain a thing! Wahoo!
I have been noticing that I am really losing weight when I look into the mirror- especially at the gym when I workout in a room full of mirrors. It feels amazing! And I am about to go down another pant size! It makes me so excited that I will soon be down 3 pants sizes!
I took a picture last week and I was amazed that my face looks thinner and I finally wasn't ashamed to post a picture of myself on Facebook. If you are my friend on FB, which you probably are so most of my stuff is repeats on my blogs, you can see that 80% of my pictures are of the kids. And I will post it here too so you can see it again! I think I might frame it because I am so proud that I am getting confidence back.
AWESOME!! I still don't have any pictures of myself yet, I'm just afraid I don't look as different as I feel. But you really do look GREAT! Confidence is so hard when you aren't happy with the way you look. But I'm finding that even though I'm still not entirely happy with the way my body looks, I'm happy with the work I'm doing to get it the way I want and that makes all the difference. So glad you're doing so well, you're gonna pass me up on loss if i don't kick it in gear! LOL...keep up the good work girlie!
ReplyDeleteI am FAR from my goal weight. I have about another 57 pounds to go for what I would like to be. I am a little too ashamed to post what my actual weight are. But I definitely want to see a picture of you!! How is the 2nd cycle going?
