So today I get on the scale and I was down another pound!! My throat is still sore but manageable. My shoulder is still hurting but I just have to be really careful. I woke up at 6 today to get some dishes done. I got the boys on the bus and started doing my treadmill. I got 4 miles in in 43:28. When I was done I went to take a drink and it went down my shirt. i figured it was just my luck.
People always ask me how I do it. Well for starters I have not had pop in over 2 months, I haven't had ice cream or bacon. We cut down majorly on how much we eat out. It uses to be twice a week. I think in the last two months its been once total.
I have to remember why I'm doing this. I'm 29 years old and I want to be around for a long time. My kids are little and I want to be able to take them up to the mountains without giving up and turning around. I have to show them that life is worth living and you can conquer the world if you believe you can.
One thing that has really helped me is myofusion. Its a protein drink that i was taking in the mornings. It helped curb my hunger big time. I could take it at 8 in the morning, work out, eat a yogurt at 2 then be good for dinner. Now i'm drinking cardio cuts in the morning to help me burn more calories. its not that bad but once i get to my goal weight I wont take it as much. I want to be in shape, being skinny is not my goal. Going to the spa has also really helped. It makes me feel better about myself when I am done. I have some stretch marks from having my kids and the red light therapy is supposed to help with that. I figured since I'm losing weight I might as well get rid of some of these marks that go with it.
The things that keep me going are my family and friends. I don't know where I would be without them. I feel so blessed to know such amazing people in my life. If you cant lose weight on your own grab a friend do it together, but go at your own pace. Don't be stressed because it wont help.
Remember times are going to be frustrating but don't ever give up, things have a way of working themselves out. Life is worth living, do the best you can and that's all that matters!!
