-13 lbs. and counting!!

Ok...so as of yesterday I've lost 13 lbs.  Whoo hoo!  I'm super excited!  :D


The goal this week is to WALK MORE!!!  I have a crazy week ahead of me and I don't know if that's possible but we'll see.


The past 2 workouts haven't been terrible but I've been very whiney.  David even said at one point yesterday, "Ooh, Jamie's getting mad".  I still hate to exercise....obviously.  I complain the whole time...poor David...but afterward I'm in the greatest mood.  Maybe because it's over.  Haha.  It's just 'cause I'm so lazy.  If I hadn't let myself get this way to begin with then I'm sure the whole working out thing wouldn't be such a problem.  It's so easy to put the weight on and SUPER difficult to get it off.  It's going to be SO worth it though.  I mean...if I'm this excited about -13 lbs. then can you imagine how I'm going to react when I hit -50 lbs.?  or even -100 lbs.?!!!  We did set a small goal to begin with.  I think that's the best way to do it...that way you don't get disappointed because you're looking at the BIG picture.  You should totally focus on a small goal instead and when you reach that...just set another one!  :D  So my small goal is -30 lbs. before January 2nd.  I'm 17 lbs. away right now.  I'm SO gonna meet that goal!! I CAN'T WAIT!!


Oh, and let me just say...
I was in control on Thanksgiving!!  This is the first time in a long time that I didn't eat until I was sick.  I know that's sad...but hey...it's an IMPROVEMENT!!  I was so proud of myself that day.  It's getting easier to say no.  I'm learning to like the healthier things.  That's also an improvement.  This isn't a diet.  It's a change of lifestyle.  It has to be permanent or I'll just put the weight back on.  So...you learn to deal.  I've learned to love apples!  Gala apples, actually.  I ate butter beans on Thanksgiving.  I don't eat butter beans.  I don't eat hardly any beans....but I actually liked them.  CRAZY!!!  :D  Don't be afraid to try new things.  You never know what you're going to like!


It's going to be a crazy week!  I can't wait to see my results!!  :D
