Now I just need a swift kick in the ars, becuase I did nothing to earn the poundage I lost this last week. I will celebrate the fact that I have set myself up diet wise to keep losing even when I am not working out and eating little treats I don't usually eat...but! If I can lose 1lb a week without even trying then come on Chelsee get it together!
I will repeat the beautiful quote I found last week:
"How does one become a butterfly?" "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."
So this week, like so many weeks before I get to get back in gear. However I have to smile at that becuase that is what I fully expected my weightloss journey to be. I know myself. I know that consistancy is not my strong suite! I will do really good for two weeks working out, losing that weight feeling good about myself and my baggy clothes. And then I treat myself one time and for anywhere from 1 week to 2 weeks I am totally off track. I eat things I would say no to during the good times, I sit around when I would noramlly talk myself into being active. And ya know what? I am ok with that. Becuase that is what works for me right now. I am still on track with my weight loss goals. Do I know that I could do more? Absolutely! But at least what I am doing is working. I am not going to give up on my goals becuase I have some set backs. No sir.
I do want to say one thing though...This month is FLYING by! I have until the end of june to lose 4lbs. I know I can do it, but what if I lost 40lbs by my first goal cut off? That would be nice. I would be wearing most of my prepregnancy clothes if that were the case. I could finally put away the maternity clothes that I find comfort in when a waist line is just a little too tight. I would have a brand new wardrobe! woot woot.
So. I am changing my goal. 40lbs by June 31st. 30lbs by December 31st. And I am also adding another goal. I want to be in shape. That is something that I have not really been too concerned with. I want stamina, and I want to see myself moving forward with my working out...not just gettting by and being ok with getting the minimum done becuase "At least I worked out..." I want to see that my limit is 20minutes this week and 45 minutes two weeks from now becuase I have been chipping away at it. I want to see that I can barely do a girly push up this week and in a month I can do a full man push up. That excites me. Up until now I haven't been brave enough to want those things becuase I was glad that I was at least getting up and doing SOMETHING. I want to have expectations of my work outs now. Hopefully that doesn't end up driving me away from working out in the first place lol.
So. The way that I see to do that is to complete the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. I have it, I like it, Jillians kicks my butt! However I do not do it consistantly (again not my strong suite) so I am at square one every time I start it. I give up in the same spots every time becuase every time is basically my first time. I am not building on any kind of a foundation. So. From now until June 31st my goal is to complete the 30 day shred.
My second goal is to stay on Alli and see if it really works. I am not doing the meal plan. It doesn't appeal to me at all. Maybe it's the rebel in me but I do know that one important thing that was important to me when I started my weightloss journey was that I wanted to be able to eat the things I like. I will make small changes here and there if it helps AND keeps me happy but I do not ever want a list of No-No foods. I know that I love food so much that if I do that to myself I will gain everything back as soon as I reach my goal weight. I count calories and I usually will choose the lower calorie items but I will not sacrifice deliciousness for weight loss. And so far it has been working. (27lbs down mayne!)
So a recap I know this has been all over the place!
Woot Woot! I lost 1 lb this week. (with minimal effort...blegh)
I have some new goals.
40lbs by June 31st
1. Complete Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred to build stamina and begin the process of toning and getting in SHAPE
2. Stay on Alli until at least June 31st
Love to you and your journey! ♥
