Just when you think that you are doing well, have a nice pace going.... someone gladly reminds you that you're still fat!
I have been working out casually 2-3 times a week, so not much. But still... its better than nothing. And LOTS LOTS LOTS of walking. I am down a small total of 24 pounds since Thanksgiving. I was very proud of myself from getting from 230 or 206.5!
But then my boyfriend decided he was overweight and dropped 30 pounds instantly. BOOOOOO!!!
So at a graduation party the other weekend everyone kept telling him how great he looked.... and kept asking me when our baby was due. Not bad right... IF I WAS ACTUALLY PREGNANT! This is the zillionth time its happened to me (I gain all my weight in my middle) but it makes me hate the world. Boo. Boo. Boo Boo!
Anyway, seeing my boyfriend get so upset with people for being so blatantly rude made me realize I could be doing so much more for myself. For him. FOR US!!!
I immediately went out and bought a diet journal, cleverly called "I WILL LOSE WEIGHT THIS TIME!" I cleaned out my cupboards and fridge again. And amped up my work outs. If I wasnt drenched in sweat from head to toe and gasping for air... then it wasnt good enough.
I shed almost FOUR POUNDS last week!!!! It has me soooo motivated! I carry my journal with me everywhere. Have started talking to ALL my friends and family about it. I am so tired and sweaty and hot and sticky but I have this vengeful fire that is like... I can be a size 8 by christmas and I'm going to show everyone that I am so sexy that they'll bite their tongues and rue the day they ever asked me when my baby was due!!!
lol
QUESTION: Is 10lbs/month 2.5/wk a realistic goal? Or am I overshooting a little?
p.s. Do something great for YOURSELF this week. Get your nails done or get a massage or just lay in the park with a good book (or Cosmo, whichever) But seriously... make yourself smile today
