Winning the Battle
3 1/2 weeks in…

And I have lost 9.2 pounds and am at a stand still. I didn’t really work out for about 4 days and went through a poor me phase. Hubby went out of town on business and will be back in a month. Had pizza on Sunday and not just one slice. Hopped back into the gym yesterday. Having a hard time doing my cardio after my weight training. I was told to warm up for 5 min then go do my weights, then do my cardio, but I can’t seem to do it very long before I tire out :( will have to figure something out.
Also, am I crazy that my goal is to be healthy and not ripped 6 pack abs? I go to a site called pinterest.com for my motivation, the fitness board. There are all these pictures or girls that are ripped, to me that is too much. I just don’t find the sculpted muscles on a woman attractive. I mean some definition is nice, but hard chiseled definition in a woman isn’t feminine to me.

2 weeks..

So it’s been about 2 weeks now. I weighed myself this morning and I’m down 5.2 pounds! Not too bad. I have only been working out 3x a week and watching what I eat.

diethoroscopes:

These are healthy weights, for the average body of each frame and height.
This isn’t for you to say “ew that’s fat” or to say “yay I’m 20lbs under my healthy weight” You also can’t pick your frame or change your frame, but you can find out what it is here. This is about health, and a healthy lifestyle. 
Every body is different

Interesting

So I have noticed that since I have started, I have felt more confident (I guess) about myself. I’m putting on make up almost daily now. I know that I haven’t lost a lot of weight (4#) but I feel that my body is getting stronger. It could all be my imagination but I do feel that way.

Finding the proper workout

I’m on a mission to find the best workout for me. Right now it’s kind of a hodge podge of whatever I feel like doing that day. So I’m going to try and find the perfect one for me. If there are any suggestions I would be happy to hear it :)

Day 6

Turns out my scale was wrong :( I’m 10 # heavier than I thought, which is totally depressing. So I’m am off to buy a new scale. Went to the gym today and left 352 calories there. Honestly for all that I did I wish it was more, but I’m just not at the point to where I can run and do aerobics. I have asthma and I’m overweight, not a good combo. But I’m doing more each time I go to the gym, so that’s something. I’m doing ok calorie wise. Between 1200 and 1500 per day. I’m going out to panera bread with some friends today. I already looked at the menu and decided on French onion soup and a Greek salad, the choose 2 combo, only 370 calories! I’m enjoying looking up meals when I go out to eat so I don’t get something and not know how much is going in my body.

Things that make me happy…

My 8 year old son… I wanted a girl, freaked out when I was told he was a boy. The moment he was born all that disapeared and I haven’t looked back! He makes me laugh, smile and proud every single day.

Harry Potter…. Ok this is a common one for lots of people. I saw the first movie in 2001 when it came out and haven’t looked back since. I was 23 when it came out. When I was a child we didn’t have books like this, we had babysitters club, and sweet valley high. Thank you JK Rowling for making my life magical, I will read your books over and over forever I think.

Doctor Who?…. This is a new one on my list. I discovered it last summer and watched the whole new series in about a week! I love rewatching them too. I’m sorry but Tennent (10) is just adorable and I still cry like a baby when him and Rose separate ;’(

Things about me I like..
My eyes have to be my best feature. They are a blueish gray with a dark outline.
My teeth… Ok this is a weird one, but I am always getting compliments from the dentist about how nice my teeth are. I wore braces for 2 years and a stupid neck gear, I’m proud of them, lol

My hair… This one is a toss up. My hair is thick, and wavy. I recently lopped it all off, it was past my shoulders and now it’s to about my jawline. When it is cooperating I like it, but when it’s not I really hate it. But it’s a great color and thick hair can be nice in the winter.

I think it’s healthy to list positive things about your life to remind yourself of your blessings. This way you aren’t always dwelling on the negative.

Seriously.  Know what and how much you are eating.


I really learned this the first time I went to an American restaurant after living abroad for 5 years. American portions can feed 2 adults!
