It's been awhile since I've updated here. Ive been spending most of my time updating my other weight loss blog. I've started an end of summer weight loss challenge there but only have 2 other challengers, lol..so if anyone is reading this, we can always use more!
I'm staying away from the scales for awhile just because i dont want it to frustrate and depress me if the pounds don't go down. I've been doing pretty good for the last 3 weeks again. Working out 5 days a week and really putting my all into it. Watching what I eat. Ofcourse I have my occasional slip ups here and there but they are still a lot better than how I used to eat. I'm starting to feel better about myself again. I put on a shirt today that I hadn't worn in awhile. It used to be kinda snug so I didnt wear it very often. I put it on today and it's actually loose on me! I also bought a couple of summer tops a few weeks ago that are flattering on me!
Weekends are still the hardest for me. Mostly because we are usually sooo busy on the weekends and don't have time to make meals, so we end up eating out the majority of the weekend. I've been trying to make better choices and to stop eating once I begin to feel full. It's still better than just pigging out all weekend long! I'm not ready to give up. I admit, I get really jealous when I see people post that they have lost more weight than me and have only been at it since March or April, or whatever..and here I have been struggling since January 1st and don't have a whole lot to show for it. I expected to be a bit farther than i am now but I know a lot of it is my own fault for having too many cheats...but I'm not ready to give up. I still dont want to go back to the way that I used to be. My husband has been complaining because some of his pants dont fit. He thinks he shouldn't be gaining weight because he does physical work 8 hours a day (construction work), but when he comes home he just stuffs his face all night long! I told him he needs to stop eating so much. He despises healthy food and wont have much to do with it!..but I can't force him to eat healthier it has to be his decision.
Anyway, today is our 4th wedding anniversary! Nothing too special planned. He's taking me to see "Chuck and Larry" tonight, which we have wanted to see..atleast I'll get a little break from the kids..and that's enough gift for me! LOL!
