Okay, so I have to admit, I was REALLY down yesterday after my weigh in. I felt like just giving up! I know I didn't eat like I should have this past week, but I still worked my butt off physically and felt like that should have made up for the poor food choices.... But.... this today I have a new perspective on things. First of all, last night, since Sunday's are my "cheat" day, I made kettle corn. Basically just popcorn with extra butter and sugar. It made me SO sick! I was disgusted by it. I went to be feeling sick and woke up this morning feeling sick. Before I started this whole weight loss thing, I used to eat kettle corn ALL the time. It was a regular desert for me. I am amazed that I used to be able to eat it and finish it too! I realized that I am training my body to thrive on healthy food. So, there is a benefit right there, beyond the weight loss, but there is more than that!
I got up this morning and even though I still felt sick from the popcorn the night before I made myself get up at 5 am and work out. I did Tae Bo for 30 min. (it would have been longer, but my husband got up and came in and sat down and watched me ... that does not work for me! It is either join me or get out. I don't need him or anyone sitting there watching me thinking, "Wow! She looks horrible doing that!" So, anyhow, I turned off the video early - next time I do just need to tell him to join in or leave) And then I went on a 2 mile run. Afterward, I felt GREAT! I realized that again, even if I don't lose weight each week, I am gaining strength and stamina! I can tell that I am getting stronger and that I have more endurance.
So, the point being. I am feeling good about things again. I do plan on being much more careful with my diet this week. I DO need to lose the weight too, but I am up and feeling positive! I CAN DO THIS! :)
