What a difference a good purging makes! I feel 85% better about everything. I am so deeply appreciative for your comments on my last post! I didn't know if it would seem weird to others or unrelatable but thank you & reading what you had to say really helped! I will do one short little update - the ex and I spoke one final time and he asked to come visit me. At this point I calmly say - "our story, volumes 1 through 20 are finished. No you may not come visit me." Reaffirmation of God's answer to me - would I want someone who is willing to "visit" (note the quotation marks...I mean really you are gonna travel hundreds of miles to say only hi?!) a woman other than their fiance?! Absolutely not. Thank you Jesus!
Now back to our regularly schedule program. I've been picking it up at the gym! Dare I say...I am starting to like exercise? Um...maybe not quite like, but appreciate how it makes me feel and how far I have come fitness wise! Yesterday I did 30 minutes of intervals on the stair climber and 15 minutes on the treadmill, followed by 15 minutes of ab work. I relaxed in the sauna afterwards - not without spritzing my hair with conditioner first (of course! lol) and as I left the gym...I felt AMAZING! Sweaty, funky, stanky - but still so good!
I didn't eat badly yesterday but today I've gotten back to sticking to the meal plan 100%. I won't hit my 153 goal by Friday...I have to re-evaluate the way I think about my goals. I think in my head it goes something like this: Let me set a really high goal and even though I doubt I will reach it...it sounds good to strive towards. I need to really commit to my goals and realize that I can do it! And then just go ahead and get it done! I am still wanting 25 lbs lost by the first day of summer. So...I am going to get this one. The Cute as a Bunny, Beach, and personal Birthday challenges were all fails for me....I'M GOING TO GET THIS ONE!
Stats for this week: Down 0.4 lbs to 160.0 lbs.
Goal for this week 2 lbs. I've yet to lose 2 lbs in 1 week and its about time I experience that high!

ReplyDeleteYeah Celebrity Apprentice! I really like Brett, I am so happy that Cindy was voted off she was sooooo annoying. The goog thing about this challenge is that you set your own goals. Have a great night!
