For a couple of weeks, while I was still working out, it was very sporadic. We also had a couple of get togethers with friends and such where, though I did really well with eating, I know I didn’t do as well as I could have. For example, Sunday at the lake, I ate a hamburger, some chips and a mini-cupcake. While I know I could have done better, like maybe not eaten the bun on the hamburger, there really wasn’t any non-carb loaded food there. I guess next time I know to bring something I can snack on so I’m not so hungry and don’t end up eating food that’s totally off my diet plan. But then there was a couple of days before that where we had pizza and dessert, which was kind of our “treat” night, which we do very rarely, but I know I could have lived without it. I know I can’t blame anyone but myself, but it sure makes it harder when I have a three year old that eats everything in sight, and a husband that, well, does pretty much the same. I’ve just got to get re-motivated on my own terms, and nobody else’s. I have to do this for ME, not my husband or son, or friends.. just ME!
I have seen some progress, though it’s been slow-going. My arms are definitely way more toned than they were before. My legs as well. I guess all those squats and weight lifting routines in my body pump classes have really helped. It’s also nice that it’s summer time (100 degrees F today, ack!) so my skin has gone from pasty white to a nice subtle tan. I’ve just got to keep pushing myself and I will lose the weight!
