I'm going to brag because I have been working really hard, and even though I hit a plateau I am happy with myself. I have lost 10 pounds this summer. I honestly never thought I could do it. Now I fully believe I can get in the best shape possible if I really put my mind to it because ten pounds is gone, just like that.
Well...not really just like that. I mean I have started running, which usually when mentioned would make me go hide in a hole. Now I am actually doing it. Craziness. I do Tae-bo a couple times a week, and I am trying new things to keep me active. This past Friday I took a step aerobics class which was so intense that not even halfway through I thought I may just puke. Instead I womaned up and finished the whole darn thing. 45 minutes of intensity that I never would have done on my own.
Eating right is hard. I went out with co-workers this week for a birthday. Yes I did have a sliver of birthday cake, but I didn't indulge in alcohol or pop like I would have in the past. Did I get mash potatoes?(which is the greatest food ever!) No, I got spaghetti squash and zucchini with my chicken.
Is it easy? No, it's really damn hard. Some days I just want to throw in the towel, grab a bag of chips and a Coke and sit my ass down on the couch. I don't. I keep going. I don't give up. I can't give up now because then the entire summer would be wasted, and well that would just be dumb.
I have started a ten week workout that was given to me from somebody I love (looove you!) Yikes, I know I am going to be sore tomorrow! I love the challenge and can tell that I will benefit from it. Now you know what I have been up to. Also I am starting my last year of school for my bachelor's degree in Accounting. Can't wait to be done!
