I have been going to the gym for two full weeks.
I have been watching what I eat for two full weeks.
I have been tracking my calories for two full weeks.
I have been watching my progress for two full weeks.
In two full weeks I have lost eleven pounds.
It seems unreal to type that out. Elven pounds is a good amount. I don't want to congratulate myself too much for it. I don't want to brag, but I am proud. I am working hard, it shows.
I love hearing someone tell me I look good, or they can tell I've lost weight.
I also love how it makes me feel. I feel good. I feel happy. For the first time in my life I feel bad if I don't go to the gym. Yeah, sometimes it's hard, somethings I want to stay on the treadmill for just 30 minutes instead of 60. I want the incline at 0 instead of 4. However, I feel better at the end of the work out I feel so much better for going 60 minutes instead of 30.
After this two weeks of eating healthy and drinking water, I have realized the benefits of it all are really there. My hair looks great, my nails are awesome, and most importantly (and the coolest thing to me) my skin is looking great. Anyone who knows me, knows I don't go anywhere without make-up. It's not a high maintaince thing, like many think, it's because my face looks like crap. It's red and I have dry patches, and even with using creams it didn't really help. Friday, as I got ready for work I put my make-up on and as I looked in the mirror I looked in the mirror and realized I didn't put on foundation....and my face looked good. My face isn't not red and my dry patches are gone.
My ultimate goal is 40 lbs by graduation (May 11). When using my "Lose It App" I put in my current weight in and my goal....at first it said I would hit my goal by May 12. That kind of disappointed me, and by kind of I mean a lot. So I went, and I busted my butt. It know says May 8. Which still doesn't give me a lot of wiggle room. I am going to have to work hard. I hope by sharing my journey with everyone it will help motivate me to keep going.
Something that has helped me is rewards and new stuff. When I started running and beat my personal best, I bought running shoes, super awesome running shoes (the shoes I was wearing were hurting my feet and rubbing blisters, too). When I lost ten pounds I got a manicure. And my mother, who is awesome, got my some new exercise gear yesterday and I can't wait to put on my new top and go to the gym tomorrow!!!
