Motivating words:

4 whole weeks.

It has been officially 4 weeks!! Time has slipped through my fingers. Being on this program has taught me two things, 1- self control and 2- to feel good about myself. Both of those two things, have always been a struggle. I have never been a really skinny girl, or or top of the class, or anything like that. I have simply always felt average in every day life. I think when I started to become comfortable in those shoes, I began to not care what people thought. Meaning, I stopped caring what my hair looked like, if I put makeup on, or how "in style" my clothes were. I think that changed the self control mode in my brain. It has not been good and has lowered my self esteem. Being in this program has boosted some of my confidence. It has changed how my mind needs to process my life in knowing "if I want to change, I have to put forth the change". I need to feel good about myself.
Staying positive is always another hard battle. It has become easier to keep positive, for the fact that my body feels good. It has definitely been a LONG time since I have felt thin enough to put on certain clothes. I haven't had that yucky bloaty feeling for a while! (thank goodness!)
I hope everyone is staying positive out there!! Keep up the hard work! They keep saying it will be worth it in the end.

Motivating words:

3 whole weeks.

Well, three weeks down! This week I have not lost any pounds. But, I have lost an inch around my waist!! That's always a plus. I do feel great and I've had tons of energy, which I am loving!
I think drinking all the water that is needed, is the hardest part!! I keep having to remind myself why I am not guzzling down an ice cold coke. That's the biggest temptation so far, but I am happy to say I have still not had a coke since the beginning of February!!
This has been a very hard time to try and lose weight. Since we are in the middle of moving to a house, time and energy seem to wear on me. And that Maverik on the corner keeps calling my name... I have to remember this:
