I know I haven't really checked in very much in the last few days. I found myself hitting my 3 week slump like I always do when I start a diet/exercise program. I found myself not eat right, but I have continued with my exercise program. So, I hadn't given up completely.
Yesterday I was determined to eat right, and I did. I'm doing good so far today. I'm suppose to go out to eat with someone for lunch. I know that I can have self control and eat something that's within my right areas and range of calories. I can do this. I need some motivation and some pumping up (emotionally). Anyone have words of encouragement?
Well, I have been noticing my body getting more toned and slimmer even though my weight isn't really changing. My husband has even been commenting on it. Two nights ago he told me that I deserved a reward for working so hard to get back into shape and be healthier. He asked me to leave the bedroom so he could get on the computer and order me something (he said I wasn't allowed to see). Last night as he's commenting again on my slimming figure he stated that he really hopes that I like what he ordered for me. I have no idea what it is. Could it be clothes for my improving body? Can it be jewelry that will dangle around my neck and display my smaller neckline?
I also told Hubby last night that it's getting difficult to continue with all of this. However, I'm really enjoying the results I'm seeing. I feel more confident about my body and am fitting into clothes that I haven't for the last couple of years. So, as I told him, if I want to continue to see these results that make me so happy I must continue with the hard work. It's just hard to stay motivated. Keep my eye on the prize, right?
Here's what's interesting...
Since 7/22/10 I've only lost 1 pound. However, I have lost an inch around my arms, waist, hips and butt. I did gain about a half inch around my thighs. I don't appear to be retaining water, especially since my inches are decreasing. So, I'm pretty sure that my weight is staying about the same because of muscle. Hurray for muscle! Muscle makes your body look better, feel better and it increases your metabolism.
