It still takes some getting used to being called an inspiration. I have so many inspirations of my own (and ONE of them owes me PICTURES). So THANK YOU!!! Check your PM momentarily.
All the binge weight is gone, y'all. I'm at 181.5 as of this morning. I know some people are like, dang, this chick weighs herself every day? Only when I'm not on program to make sure I don't end up over 200lbs. Y'all see how that almost happened two weeks ago. Otherwise, I try to stick to once a week. During maintainance, weigh every day, when on program, once a week. That's what Gary the Curves man said, lol.
I walked to work today, y'all!!! When I got to work, I had over 4600 steps. Now, I have 11,832. I only aim for 12K each day and no less than 10K. Walking to and from work is gon' clock 9200 steps. After I walk home, I could be done! I do kinda wanna try and do some weight training today. Or something. I'm tryna start back with baby steps, but I feel like I need to get it in gear.
The weight is going to melt off. I honestly hope it doesn't happen fast. I need to tone. But I'm excited to be back on track. I've been updating my blogs, eating better (though I left my lunch at home), and all around more focused. I'm making walkin' dates and stuff, lol. I feel like I'm ready to do this again. I've been chillin' for, what, almost 6 months? It's been a year since I started this last WW journey. I've lost exactly 30lbs since then, 65 total. And I have 25-30lbs left. I really don't want it to take another year to lose that.
WHY am I so lazy? WHY is it SO easy for me to do aerobic exercise and not strength training. I mean, I like Pilates, but I feel I need more to insure (ensure?) that there is no flab left over. I've had to enlist the help of former college football players to help me train. Seriously, I hate it cuz it's hard. Walking is so easy. Running is gon' whoop my @$$. But I DETEST resistance training. It hurts (later) and it's boring.
Now, I read an article that says caffeine helps with muscle soreness after a work-out. But y'all know I'm tryna give up caffeine (I don't like the withdrawal symptoms), right? Still, does anyone know (as in from personal experience KNOW) if this is true?
I pulled out more and more garments and more and more started to fit! While not all of them fit comfortably, in about 10 more pounds, I'll be able to wear them out of the house without looking like a damn fool. So, that's my "YAHHH ME!" moment of the week!
