So it's been exactly 4 weeks since I started my blog and decided to get my life back on track. 4 weeks ago I weighed 264.4. Today I weighed in at 258. So I am trying to process how I feel about the 6.4 lb weight loss. Even though I told myself I wouldn't make any goals my mind really didn't allow that. So I told myself it would be nice to lose at least 10 lbs a month. Why do I do this to myself. I sabotage myself even when I set out to have realistic goals. So enough with the madness!
Average healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week (translation..4-8 lbs a month)...so I ended up somewhere in the middle. So I am happy about this. I am doing something, still juicing and having my morning smoothies. Dinner is good Sunday-Thurs. So there are improvements to be made, however I'll take what I can get as long as its realistic.
Usually this is the stage I get discouraged, and feel like it's never gonna happen. Why do I need these quick results, it took me 4 years to get a degree, 2 more to get a higher degree, 5 years to get married, 5 years to get to a comfortable pay, 5 years to pay off my car, and its taking me forever to get pregnant. It seems like the best rewards or end results take time, so why the heck am I gonna try to rush this. I have a friend who's been on the weight lose trail (see Determined to Lose) for 3 years, so again why do I think Imma be skinny that fast. Enough with the unrealistic expectations. If statistics prove healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds who am I to go against that, I'm not supernatural. So I end this with. Wahoo, Hahah, Yeah baby. I'm dropping these pounds, and I'm feeling good about it!
WOOOOOHOOOOO! Congrats on the weight loss. I'm SUPER happy for you and you've worked hard for this. Hang in there my friend. I love how you compared it to all your other major life events, none of them happening overnight. Major things take major time!
