No worries, I haven't thrown in the towel on the blog/journey/weightloss/etc.. :) These have DEFINITELY been a couple super hard weeks and to be honest, I really blew it and didn't get back on track as I had planned (with exercise I was on it, but foodwise, not so much!). Weighed this morning and was at 211 or so (honestly I can't really remember because I knew I was up so I didn't pay a ton of attention). So I'm up the same 2 pounds that I have been, which is actually kind of a relief after how the last couple weeks have been. But I am not down about it at all, and like I said, I have been doing pretty good with the exercise. I just need to get the eating back on track.
That is definitely going to happen too, because tomorrow starts my 24 day cleanse/challenge! I was supposed to start Thursday but I didn't get everything together so tomorrow is the day! I am super excited to see how I feel on the vitamins and supplements, to see how it feels to break my food up into 6 small meals instead of the 3 main ones I have now. I planned out my day tomorrow and got all my food ready (Sundays are crazy, we go all day so I had to get the entire day ready) and while it took me awhile I think once I get through a couple days it will be easier. I'm not used to eating so often! Granted, it's not a ton of food but it's frequent, and I'm really going to have to watch the clock. I'm hoping I will get in the groove quickly. I am going to weigh every day (or at least every other) of this challenge to monitor the progress. There are a LOT of veggies and protein in my future! Oh, and water...lots and lots of water! Ahhhh!! I am drinking my last Coke Zero right now...hopefully I won't miss it too much! I also took some pictures tonight (in sports bra and workout pants...NOT posting those here LOL...at least not until I have some hot after pics to go next to them!) so I can compare results at the end. I did compare them to the shots I took in January and there is a definite difference! Especially in my waist, hips and face. And the boobs LOL. Can't wait to see what can happen in a month of hard concentration on this process. I'm going to try to update more often here too to track how things are going.
One last thing tonight and then off to bed. I ran 5K at the gym on Friday!! I have been upping my treadmill time little by little and decided Friday morning to give it a shot. And I did it!! I kept my pace at 4.0 until the very very end when I upped it to 4.5 and then 5.0 (I'm talking the last .1 of a mile haha). It is so crazy to me because even when I was training with Mandy before I was pregnant, I couldn't even do 2 miles, let alone 3. I actually got a little emotional on the way home from the gym just thinking about it...running those 3 miles makes me feel like this is all possible. I will be at a healthy weight again. I will wear a size 14...size 12 or 10 even? I will not be embarrassed on vacation in a bathing suit, and I will not be ashamed at the playground when Ian wants me to run and play with him. I will be the wife I promised Jeff I would be and the mom that my beautiful boys deserve. I will live the life I am meant to live. :)
