Day one! Only three months--and twelve pounds--to go! Yes, I set myself a realistic goal to say "see ya!!" to twelve pounds over the next three months. Had my first weigh-in this morning, and, okay, let's be honest, am I the only one who frequently cries when they pop on the scale? So I spent all last night preparing myself. Yes, I indulged over the holidays an took two weeks off of bootcamp while I was back home, so, am I going to weigh the same as I did back in late October (which was the last time I cried on a scale)?? No, I'm thinking not so much. You know how people always tell you to pay attention to signs OTHER than the scale when trying to lose weight? Are your clothes looser? Do you have more energy? Do you find yourself craving healthy snacks? Well, let's just say my clothes still fit but there appears to be more of me in them lately, and the cookie I had for dessert last night surely did not help! But we all have to start somewhere, and this is my jumping off point. And I could take that number and feel sorry for myself OR I can do something about it, like following my meal plan and exercising.
Feels good to be in control. I know my bad habits got me to this point, so I believe a change in attitude--and a whole lot of hard work and willpower--can get me back to where I'd like to be.
