Literally, I climbed some hills the other night and was horrified at how out of breath I was. It wasn't like it was a mile straight up it was a couple of yards. We went up three and ran a little in between and it really took a lot out of me. I thought we had gone about 10 miles but come to find out it was less than two ;).
I am feeling stronger and I can already feel my clothes are a little looser but I have a long way to go!
Monday will be my first weigh-in, measurements and picture. I am not sure if I will share that info. in my blog yet? It still feels a little personal! I like to use exclamation marks to get my point across by the way.
I have always known that losing weight takes discipline and a lot of determination but I think keeping it off takes a lot more. There are a thousand temptations a day. I'm surprised we aren't all horribly obese in this country because even just a basic meal in a restaurant (or what I think is a basic meal!) will take up all of the calories I will be allotted in a day.
I start counting calories next week and I just can't wait! This week I have been writing it all down so when we add it up on Monday it should be interesting and enlightening. I set this blog up for adsense through google and I cannot choose the ads they post but I can I say that some of the products they are selling will not work. I stand by my theory that the only way to lose weight and keep it off is by completely changing your mindset and how you conduct your daily life. You must burn calories and eat foods that will help you do that. You cannot rub away your cellulite with a cream or take a pill to lose belly fat fast! You have to exercise. You have to eat the right foods all throughout the day so your body never feels like it is being starved. You have to be patient and realize it isn't going to melt away like butter but wouldn't that be awesome!
