I've been a member on the forums for a while now, even had another journal (or two) but it's time to get SERIOUS. I created a new username for a fresh start and I'm ready for change!
I've been working out on and off forever, but probably more so in the past month. However, these past three days I've been taking it seriously, watching what I eat and exercising. I've been doing well, but I'm terrified I'll do well for a week or so, then something will come up and I will completely derail. THIS is why I started a journal, to really keep me accountable and hopefully to make the time fly by. Ugh, that's my BIGGEST problem.
I'm SOOO impatient, especially with weight loss. I want the weight of NOW, but alas, that is totally not gonna happen. I've realized my impatience is really what's bringing me down: there's a little voice in my head telling me, what's the point in working out or eating right? It'll take forever to lose weight. Of course, I know that makes no sense, but I can't help but give in sometimes, but then I ask myself, would I rather be thin if it takes a year? Or stay fat forever? The choice is obvious ..
Currently, I weigh about 163 and I'm 5'4. I recently went to the doctor and was told that I had lost 12 lbs since last December, which is pretty good for not being legit with this process.
I've been using Turbo Jam since the gym wasn't an option for a while, and to be honest, I don't know if I want to go back in a few weeks when I'm able. Guess we'll see .. As for calories, I'm trying to keep it under 1500, and for the past few days I've been doing so.
This time I WILL be successful (as long as I can keep up this journal!
)
