Weigh-in today was 251. I yo-yo-ed a bit since my last drop because it was due to a short starvation run. Went up to 252, fought off a few meals to get back down. Craving cheese lately, annoying. I need to go get more salad fixings and I can satisfy it. Grilled cheese is calling me, but I know there is a better way. The first thing I ate after 2 days of slimfast shakes was mediocre in healthiness, but it was better than the cheese enchiladas, beans and rice that by body was craving. OMG! Overall, just glad I managed to keep off the 5 I lost.
However.... I did make another large personal leap today. I got on the treadmill and moved my ass for the very first time in this weight-loss journey. :) Yay! My aunt and uncle were so gracious to give me use of said treadmill, probably 2 years ago. It's done little more than collect dust in that time. (It also does help secure my front windows from possible break-in, lol) Today, it had a new use, not a security wall, clothing hanger, project storage or dustbunny collector... I flipped the switch and moved my feet. For a full 30 minutes. It felt great. I had my laptop setup so I could listen to pandora in headphones and my heartrate in the fat burn target area according to the programming. I could seriously see myself doing that again. Especially now that I feel like I've gained some skills in diet and nutrition. This was really the part I had not yet committed to. I had Will take a picture of me walking so that I can see the difference as I progress.
So..... soon.... I hope to see a drop..... I want to get into the 240's this week. I've been losing approximately 5 pounds a month by diet alone for the last 3 months according to the charting here on fatsecret. I want to lose at least 10 pounds in June. My mind races to imagine the things I could do by the end of the year! :) I'm ready for a leaner and meaner me!
