Well, Ladies, I've done it again! I worked out this morning doing my Walk Away the Pounds - 3 Mile DVD, and I jumped on my mini trampouline for 5 minutes. I'm really impressed with myself! I never exercised on a daily basis. I always found an excuse as to why I couldn't exercise - too tired, I'll do it tomorrow, etc. - you know how it is... Interesting enough, when a person is determined to reach a goal, motivation comes from nowhere and slaps a person in the face! I know it slapped me! I'd prefer to stay in bed and sleep an extra 45 minutes prior to getting ready for work. I just push myself to get out of bed and do it. Well, anyway, I will officially get on the scale tomorrow morning to find out how much weight I've lost since starting back on my diet Wednesday, 8/22/07. In a previous journal I'd written, I put that I started on Tuesday, but I was wrong; I signed up with Fatsecret on Tuesday and started my diet on Wednesday. I got on the scale on Friday morning out of curiousity, and I lost 5.4 pounds! I weighed 223 on Tuesday, and on Friday I weighed 217.6! I'm so excited! I will know my total loss tomorrow morning. If the scale doesn't show more pounds lost, I'm not worried because I know I'm losing inches. Fat loss is better that pound loss. REMEMBER THAT!!!! Don't let the scale discourage you. Whenever I go shopping and I see something I really like, and I know I can't fit it, I'll buy it and say "I'm getting into that!" Perfect example: My younger sister (who has a sexy figure) went shopping with me a few of months ago, and I purchased a beautiful leopard blouse with flair sleeves and a low v-cut in the front - size 16. That was the last one they had, and I had to get it! My sister looked at me and said: "You just need to give that blouse to me. You know you're not going to ever get into it." I was kind of hurt because she knew that I was on a diet, and I have a goal I want to accomplish. I said to her: "I might not be able to fit it now, but I WILL fit it later." I also told her that she was wrong to say something like that to me. I told her that she is supposed to encourage me, not make sarcastic comments. She apologized, but then I knew I had something to really prove to her. When I went to Columbia, SC to visit for the 4th of July weekend, she was shocked! I was wearing that blouse that she didn't think I would ever get into. Please don't allow negative comments discourage you. Use it as reverse psychology and say I'm going to do it! KEEP YA HEAD UP!!!! :-)
