Pep Talks

Though I'm 22.9 pounds down, I feel like the last week I've fell off plan a bit. I have been eating shitty and making excuses about not going to the gym and working out. I have (mostly) stayed in my calorie goals, but I definitely think I can do better than I have been. I am hoping that Shakeology and the 21 Day Fix is a fresh start for me and that I can hop back on the band wagon of weight loss and keep heading toward my goal. I am going to be working out at least once a day, but still going to the gym to run three times a week and do yoga.

--------------------------------------------------

So I started this blog on Sunday night and kinda paused for a bit to work on my 21 Day Fix meal plan. This morning I weighed in for the week and I have gained one pound. This is my first gain since I started this journey and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in myself. I'm glad it was only one pound, but I want to see the numbers go down, not up. I have a long way to go to be gaining ALREADY. I have to say though, seeing the gain made me even more focused. There are so many reasons I am doing this. I have a real PLAN now. I can't let me stand in my way.

I am committed to this lifestyle. There are times when it's really difficult to stick with it and I just give in (cue this weekend), but that's when I need days like today to really pause, refocus and prepare myself. There are great things in store for my future and I am the kind of person who goes after what I want. There is no reason I can't lose the weight.

I realize this blog is a bit more of a pep talk than anything else, but that's okay. If that's what I need to get going, then that is what I give myself. I am going to kick ass at this weight loss and people will see that ANYONE can lose weight, because I never thought I could. Hell, I never thought I'd see the 270's again, and here I am, 21.9 pounds lighter than I was in March.

Well I need to make my shopping list for the week :) I will check in a bit more to update my progress from here. :)
