It's days like today that I hate the most, my father has off of work. When he does, it's crazy difficult to get a workout in because he's in the living room half the time (where I typically do my workout) and I'm definitely not just going to start working out in front of him. Before I would just consider this to be an off day (usually my dad's day off during the week is my off day) but I really wanted to work out! That may seem strange to some of you, but I really have learned to love working out. Even with my sinus and chest infection, I'm yearning to exercise most days. Last night when I was laying in bed, I honestly really wanted to get up and bust out some squats or something. :) Well that was before my fiance came online, then I wanted nothing more than to just stare into those beautiful brown eyes of his. But nevertheless, a workout did happen, and it was awesome!
I'm half way done with level one, woohoo! :) When I started this program, I never thought that I would love it so much. Especially if you would have talked to me a year and 4 months ago, that girl definitely would have laughed in your face. But now is a different story, I look forward to my 30DS workout every day, especially now that my legs don't hurt so much. After I am completely through with the program, I am planning on doing the program again later this year and hopefully then I will be able to use actual weights. But even though I'm not using actual weights this time around, I'm sure that I'll have great results.I just wanted to talk about something that I've been seeing a lot of lately on FB, loose skin. I'm not to that point yet but, I know that once I reach my goal weight I will have loose skin. What do you expect when your an overweight/obese child and an obese adult (for 4 years)? I hope that when I do reach that point, I am going to be okay with that. Who knows, some day I may have surgery to get the excess skin removed, but that will depend on how much I have. I have to come to terms with the fact that I will more than likely have stretch marks for the rest of my life, and they aren't very sexy. Some day I would love to be able to wear a bikini and rock it. I want my fiance to look at me after we're married and think, I am so incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful wife.(He always does tell me that, but I want to hear him say it and then I believe it) Who knows what will happen when I reach my goal weight, my skin may not be as bad as I think it will be. I know that the strength training will help, losing weight slowly will help, and the amount of water I drink will also help. But I guess I have to wait to find out when I reach my goal weight.
Today I did something that made me so proud of myself, well a few things actually. At lunch today, I was making this new pasta thing that we bought and all of a sudden I just got this intense yearning to eat everything I saw. But I chose to eat only 2 cups of it instead of 4, so instead of 1360 calories it was 680. It's the small things that add up to great things. Looking back on it now, I am very glad that I didn't eat all those calories. I always know that I will regret it when I over eat, but that has never stopped me before. So I am thankful that I talked myself out of those extra 680 calories.
This afternoon I got some absolutely amazing news, a very good friend of mine got engaged!! Ah! Plus she wants me to be her maid of honor :) And hey, this gives me another to work really hard to lose weight, I want to look good in a dress. So this means I'm going to visit her and her fiance down in Texas soon :) I'm pretty excited because I think I talked her into trying the 30DS with me while I'm there.
It's about time to celebrate my nephew's birthday. So until next time.

I worry about lose skin too. I know I will always have stretch marks. I guess I'd rather lose the weight and have to deal with those problems than stay big. I guess that will be a bridge I have to cross when it comes to that. I still have a lot of weight to lose.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely rather lose the weight and have to deal with the skin than staying unhealthy. I also have a long way to go but it's something that I'd rather start dealing with now, so hopefully I will handle it better when I reach that point.
