losing the extra tire is hard to do.



Well it has officially been 4 weeks since I started on my new lifestyle of  REALLY healthy eating and workout regimen/ getting my life more organized.  It has had its ups and down's but for the most part its all ups.  I have been reading lots of articles that say instead of setting yourself a huge goal like "I will lose 20 pounds" you set small ones like "I am going to lose 5 pounds".  I really like this way of thinking.  It is totally OK to have a huge goal but I always felt like it was so daunting and that I was never going to get there.  However when I think that I am just going to lose 5 lbs it doesn't seem as scary.....and guess what?!?!

I have lost a total of 6.6 lbs in 4 weeks!!!  

I am SO proud of myself and the commitment I have put into this.  I am starting to see results and have more energy than ever. There were many times that I wanted to give up and just eat my Doritos's ( I still eat them just in moderation now)  But I know that if I give up then all the work I have put in will be wasted.

Thankfully  it is also getting much easier to workout and not be so tired at the end of it.  I am now on my second goal of losing 5 more pounds.  Only 4.4 more to go before I hit this goal :)

Here's to healthy food and my new love the rowing machine!

  1. OH MY GOSH!!! I am so happy for you!!! That is so amazing. I've been wanting to lose 5 (or 10...) pounds for months and CANNOT give up the chocolate. I know it won't happen without eating healthier! I wanna be just like you when I grow up. P.S. I think I need you to point out what a rowing machine looks like so I can fall in love too.
