I decided to get my butt in gear in January and lose 10 pounds. 10 pounds, that's it, that won't be hard right? I borrowed the 30 day shred from a co-worker (thanks Carrie!) and started mid January. My plan was to do it for 3 months. It has 3 levels, so I would be done and in perfect shape in April! Well the 3 months have almost come and gone and guess how much I have lost. 0. None. Nada. Zilch.
i. am. over. it.
Well not really, but come on! I have been working out 3-4 times a week for almost 3 months! And it is not like I eat a cheeseburger everyday either. My daily meals consist of:
Coffee
Yogurt
Pretzels
Cheese
Protein Bar
Apple
Carrots
maybe a mini sized chocolate (I have a sweet tooth people!)
And lots of water throughout the day
My dinner is what I make for the family. No grilled chicken and salad everynight, but mostly pretty healthy. And we eat salad and fresh fruit at almost all meals.
And I normally eat like a 60 calorie jello pudding at night, I have to have something sweet, it is my weakness.
WTF?
I guess I am going to have to start with something else. I don't know. I am 5 pounds over what I weighed when I got pregnant with Logan. I just don't understand. I am frustrated. Sigh. What the heck is the point of loosing weight if you are going to have more babies? I mean I will probably loose it and then get pregnant again and heck it will probably take me 2 years to get this 10 pounds off at the rate I am going!
I have to remember, it is not about the weight, well yes it really is, but it is about being healthy.
So I got my butt up this morning at 5:45 and kept pushing on with my workout.
I really should not complain. I am in the same size I was wearing pre-Logan. That makes me happy :)
But I just would love to see results on the scale.
I have come to the realization that working out and being healthy is a lifestyle not a quick fix. Need to keep that in perspective. I just need to keep swimming.
