They were so good! but they had cheese, I forgot how much I love cheese. =)
I pretty much am halfway there...aaaand then the Bon Jovi song comes into my brain ev-er-y time! You know the one:
"WOOAA We're half way there! WOA-OOH Livin on a prayer!"
Your Welcome. =D
Okay, back on track after that musical break, I am halfway to one of my short term goals which is to give Paleo a solid 12 week go at it. And this picture kind of gave me some motivation
This kind of holds true for me. I haven't really noticed too much of a difference in the mirror but I have in my clothes. Well, at least in the way that things from last fall were a lot tighter to get zipped up than they are this season! They are baggier than I would have ever thought, it is super bizarre because I still feel the same size. It is such a weirdo feeling.
I also saw this on pinterest and realized that summer 2013 is going to be here sooner than I think and thought this was rather motivating too!
And the other "halfway there" thing is that I have lost 50 lbs, and I am really aiming to lose 100 within the next year. I would love to lose it by summer, but it took me almost 11 months to lose get this far, that I don't think I will be discouraged if I can't get that 50 lbs off in 8 months. I think it is crazy that for the first time in my life I have actually lost this much in one go. I have said this before, but my usual yo-yo weight loss routine is, I lose 30 lbs, feel like I've done a great job and then gain back 40. So this is a huge record for me. I'm not going to lie, there is a little frustration with me not being able to tell a visible difference for myself. like in the mirror or in my jeans. That is where I want to see a difference. I have to keep telling myself that it is not important. the number on the scale is not important. the number on the tags of my clothes are not important. This is about health and wellness. But I would be a big liar if I said I never thought about it, longed for it, hoped or dreamed about it. So I'm just gonna throw it out there and say I do deal with it, I do struggle with it, but I do not want let it define or become the reason why I continue on this journey.
Now, the last motivating picture I am going to post will be because I am the biggest of procrastinators! I seriously am always telling myself, "Tomorrow I will go to the gym." Or "tomorrow will be the day when I ___insert almost anything I am to lazy to do here___" I know that I will fail in this area. Undoubtedly, I will make this same habitual mistake again and again. But it is the times that I am given the strength to get off my butt and do something active that I am very thankful for. Those are the ones where I want to remember taht amazing feeling of accomplishing something goodfor my body, my temple, the one body I was given to steward well, made by my Creator, that if I wear it out, what the heck am I going to do with it? As far as staying active and pushing myself at the gym I thought this was very true because there is always a little, or a lot, of regret when I do not do something active.
Well thats all for now folks. I really hope you all had a wonderful and safe halloween and don't go to crazy on eating the Halloween candy! I am sure it is peak season if you are in the dentistry field.
Here's to the next 6 weeks!!
Let's do this! It's never too late to start =)
