I stayed the exact same, again! It's time to switch something up in my diet or exercise. Not sure what that is yet but I am working on it. My eating the past two days haven't been great I have been feeling hungry all the time. I hate that feeling :( But I am not going to let these two days sabotage the rest of the week which is something I would have done in the past. I want to be the healthy women I deserve to be which I know is going to be hard work and so far I believe I have been doing well but I know I need to step it up! I was thinking tonight about trying a new recipe each week. I am not sure If I have expressed how I am feel about cooking but really it's not something I enjoy doing. I wish this wasn't the case but even if I don't love it is still something I have to do and maybe one day it will change into something I like. I also think this will help with my boredom of food. I wish I could be more like my boyfriend. He can eat the same things over and over again it doesn't bother him. If I ate the same thing too much I get so sick of it and I don't want to eat it again.
Now on to a couple of happy things:
Rob and I, over the past few years have really enjoyed Halloween and picking out fun costumes. I have always had to pick out a plus size costume. This year... I was able to wear a Large!! I couldn't believe it... I am going to be Cookie Monster :) Even though my costume looks more like Cookie Monsters Girlfriend lol.
Finally I can cross another thing off my long term goals. I finally tried a Kettlebell class. It was actually TRX/Kettlebell. I loved how challenging and sweaty I was after the class. I was able to keep up with most of the routines. I only had to modified a few things. The people in the class were really nice and helpful. The instructor was a little strange he was talking like a game show host which I thought was odd lol but whatever it helped distracted me when something was really difficult. I wanted to take a picture of myself with a kettlebell but I was too shy. So I took an after picture of my sweaty self.

That class looks like so much fun!! I've always wanted to play with kettle bells, I'll have to give that class a try!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing amazing Joy .. A maintenance isn't as much fun as a loss on the scale, but it's 1000X better than a gain! :)
Laura :)
Staying the same isn't bad!! I wish I had. :p
ReplyDeleteThe class looks almost fun...looking forward to hearing more!
PS: have you tried Pinterest for recipes? I used to HATE cooking, now I almost enjoy it. Pinterest makes it fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, great before/now pictures - it's real easy to see you've slimmed down a lot. Just a suggestion, you might really like using a crock pot, since it's essentially no cooking, just putting raw veggies & meat in, set the timer, and have a delicious meal 7ish hours later :)
