It's been one week and I have lost 4lbs! Crazy! I haven't felt it in my clothes but, I am feeling better about myself mentally. I think that's the key! I tend to be a little neurotic about having everything in order and the one thing I have never felt in control of is my health. Well, that's changing!
Getting up at 5:30am every morning has been a love/hate battle. I love it because the voices that call, "MOMMMM", are absent for a brief moment. I hate it because it's dark and the birds are way too cheerful! I love it because I have time to mentally prepare for the day. I hate it because I grit my teeth from sneaking around my house. But, I choke down my pre-workout drink (white cherry flavor is gagging me), and roll out my yoga mat and wait for the annoying p90x elevator music.
I have to admit that I've snuck a handful of chips into my mouth last night...and maybe a spoonful of Haagen-Daz Carmel Cone ice cream. Oops! It could of been worse! Usually my "slip ups" tend to be more gratifying but it doesn't taste as good for some reason. I blame my husband because he wasn't home to stop me (smile). It feels better to blame him. Actually, I should mention that my husband has been so encouraging and supportive! He's not eating the yummy potato skins with sour cream in front of me. He waits until I'm gone or asleep.
Sleep is oh so sweet right now! I don't think I have slept this good in years! I tend to go to bed around 9:30 every night and it feels good! Yes, that makes me old, but I'd like to think of it as being wise! :)
Time for my breakfast! White egg omelet with feta cheese, 1/2 of a grapefruit and 1/2 of a whole wheat English muffin. So excited (Not)!
Way to go! When I did P90X I lost a lot of inches, but not a lot of weight. Have you been measuring yourself as well as weighing?

That breakfast sounds good to me. Congrats on the 4 lbs!
ReplyDeletenope...not measuring just feeling it out with my clothes (smile)
ReplyDeleteYou should measure! I have lost 2 inches off my waist, 3 off my abdomen, and 1 off my hips in 3 weeks. To be honest...I haven't really noticed a difference in my clothes (those stretch jeans will do that to you), plus I am switching over from my winter clothes to summer clothes. I was really encouraged to work harder and stay focused after I measured today. I don't know if I haven't been measuring on a weekly basis if I would have been able to be encouraged by my results.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for us to bring our kiddos to the pool with our healthy, strong figures! :o) Keep it up!!!!
