My husband and my oldest son have gotten milkshakes twice this week, and I didn't get one either time! I wanted it....I wanted it bad!! But, I didn't get one! :)
Still doing my treadmill, but also still need to step up the pace and get a little more of a burn out of my workout.
Staying optimistic about this scale stuff. I mean this has to start working sometime right? I have been looking into new ways to start dropping the pounds! (Cleanses, new exercises, stuff like that)
My cart at the grocery store this past weekend, looked way healthier than it ever has in the past!
Although I'm still frustrated that the scale isn't really going anywhere except up and down with the same three pounds....I'm proud of myself for changing bad habits, and for trying to become healthier.
I'm not sure why the scale isn't moving....and I'll tell ya what...it is a HARD thing to deal with! I've been at this for 5 weeks now. I eat under 1280 calories a day....I drink water (not enough, I'm sure)....and the scale still isn't changing. I have never had this problem before. I will be 30 in July....and I've had 2 babies now, but I don't think these are good enough excuses! I think the Non-scale vicotories are a great thing to recognize, because it gives me the strength to keep going. There are so many thing going through my head when I'm on the treadmill. So many things I want to accomplish, and so many regrets about what I've let happen to my body. It's all hard to swallow. How did I get to the point that I need to lose about 60 pounds to get back to where I'm happy with how I look. How did I not have enough respect for myself to change it, before it got out of control? I struggle with these things on a daily basis. But I just have to keep going!
I'm thankful to have others who see the importance of motivating others to see their success in all aspects, not just a number on a scale! That is so important....for our overall sanity! haha. Hopefully next week....I'll be able to say I've dropped something beyond these 3 pounds that keep coming and going....but if I don't.....we'll keep working for the next week, right?
Happy Thursday blog world....we've almost made it to the weekend!!! :)
One of my favorite pins on Pinterest is of a girl working out and it says something like 'because there's no reason to stop, even if the scale doesn't move.' That is SO true! Even if the numbers aren't going down, you're taking better care of your body and that right there is worth it!!
ReplyDeletePlease know that you are getting healthier every day, regardless of what the scale says. There's so much more to health than your weight.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it all starts with food. It's more important than the exercise even. Make sure you never drop below 1200 calories... stop eating grain and sugar.... drink tons of water with lemon and cucumber... eat fat... and don't buy processed food at all. I promise you'll lose weight.
I didn't see your link on our linkup so I'm glad I double checked your blog! That is great about your grocery cart, a great NSV! Thanks for linking up with us again! Let me know if you have problems adding your link.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of people eating around the same calories and others told them to "up" it more, and she tarted to lose. I just read a blog post on this but I can't remember whose it was!! Anyways, try upping it to like 1400 to start and see how that goes!
