Dannie here, Well here we are at week 3. Things are still moving, even if it is a snails pace. I’m still determined and am tweaking things, but I’m telling you guys; THIS is my time to shine. I WILL meet my goals! I’m doing things that make ME feel good, and keeping MYSELF inspired. Maybe I’m being selfish, but I think it’s about time I took care of ME for once. It feels GOOD too..hahaha
Being a single gal helps, I can focus on ME! Some might question that I don’t have a support system that some of my married friends have, but I totally do. My kids and friends are super supportive. It means so much to me that I have so many people that stand behind me.
Thoughts and Feelings:
Unfortunately still in a plateau this week. I’ve been trying to rack my brain as to why I’m at a virtual stand still. I mean I lost a little weight and some inches, but not what I expected. Then the proverbial light bulb came on in my head. It might be TMI, but it’s that wonderful time of the month, retaining fluid, bloating, sleepiness, munchies (I haven’t cheated though)…anyways it makes sense that (for this week anyway at least) I’m having a hard time. So I’m going to stop obsessing and worrying about it until it passes.
Like I said, I haven’t cheated, but I have done less strenuous exercises this week because of the fatigue that plagues me around this time every month. I have got some in daily though. I’m doing more Yoga than anything because the stretching just feels soooo good, lol. I’m drinking more fluids and less coffee in hopes of seeing changes too. I’ve also been finding hidden sugars in some of the “healthier” things I was eating and drinking, so I’m cutting those out and finding better alternatives.
My willpower is getting stronger everyday. My daughter has made homemade sugar cookies twice now and I haven’t eaten even a crumb…yay me! ( I have a really weak spot for homemade baked goodies…esp.cookies & brownies *drools*) Instead I enjoy a sugar free Jello pudding cup when I have a sweet tooth that won’t go away. Those are super good by the way! I just wish they had a substitute for Pizza dangit!
I’m still waking up before the alarm clock, full of energy and vigor. Lovin’ life! Trying to find things to keep me busy, like washing my car outside with the hose v/s a car wash. Getting on the floor with the baby is a work out too let me tell you. I forgot how active those little buggers can be. Catch outside with my son and long walks with my daughters, out and about with friends, life is good. Maybe here soon a going out with the girls and dancing the night away…hmmm sounds good to me
