Day one.

Today was a successful eating day but yet again I did not work out! Ugh. Makes me so mad that I get to the end of the day and realize the excuses I have been making all day have caught up to me. Tomorrow I am done with classes at 11:15, I have absolutely no reason to not work out after I eat a healthy lunch. Speaking of healthy , Today I did awesome!! I did not eat a single thing that is on the challenge list. Really I barely ate anything today. I had pretzels and a salad. I know I need to eat more but I'm just not hungry very much anymore. Maybe once I start working out again it will build up my appetite. I can already tell a difference in my clothes again. They fit so much better and more comfortable. My face is also thinning out which is an amazing thing! I am feeling great about myself and loving every second of it! This new chapter of my life is going to be a great one!

Next Goal: better my attitude!

Slacking!

Sooo the last few weeks I have been slacking majorly when it comes to exercising!! I think I have only worked out a few times however I have been doing much better about watching what I eat. My stomach has shrunk a lot which is a great thing because I can eat a lot less and be full! I would say I eat about close to a fourth of the portion sizes that I used to eat. I started taking Lipozene which is a water capsule that controls appetite and portion sizes. It makes me feel full after just a few bites and if i continue to eat through the feeling of being full well lets just say there are side effects! I am starting a new "No Junk Challenge" tomorrow. I am not supposed to have anything from chocolate to white bread! It is going to be a challenge but I am looking forward to it and seeing the results! It is back to my work-out routine tomorrow as well! I am also going to call around and see where the nearest gym is with a pool, I NEED to swim!!

First of many!

Today I took a HUGE step in the right direction! I ran for the first time in probably three or more years. I only went eight tenths of a mile and only about a pace of 2.8 miles per hour (handy facts all from an awesome APP on my iPhone, RunningMate) but none the less I ran. It felt good and also incredibly painful at the same time! I stared out by only running a block and then walking a block. Mentally it was a successful system because I could always see the end of the block so I could keep telling myself "only this much farther, only two more houses, etc."  It helped a lot! I also motivated myself with music of course! Today I listened to "Tyga Station" on Pandora. Rap seems to be the best motivator for me!
 I got back to my house and collapsed on my front porch! I haven't been that exhausted since swimming! It was a good feeling to know I had pushed myself, I felt pretty dang good about myself! I am also amazed by how much energy I have right now! It is incredible! I am getting things done and feeling great while doing it! I have also started taking B12 which is a metabolism/energy booster, although at first it took my stomach a while to adjust to (Go figure with my sensitive stomach!) I am seeing the benefits during the day and have an easier time waking up and feeling refreshed.
Next step: making better food choices!
