Oh wow, its been such a long time since I've last blogged...and oh how I've missed it!! I've had so much going on lately, but pretty soon things will be back to normal. My bootcamp ended back in July. I stuck it out, but my results weren't as great as expected. In hindsight, I probably should've saved my money and continued to go at it on my own. Although I haven't been working out as frequently as I was during bootcamp, I am still very much aware of the foods that I put into my body.
BUT, even with all of my inconsistencies...today I weighed in at 210lbs. I've finally dropped my first 20lbs since starting this journey back in May!!!
I am extra proud because I know that this weight loss has been very "real". And what I mean by real is that ...there are no quick fixes, true acceptance that reaching and maintaining my goal requires a definite change of lifestyle, and I'm not depriving myself of anything - just eating everything in moderation. I have no fears that the weight will come right back, because I'm trying to do this the "right way". I'm still hoping that I'll be down to 200 (or under) by my 30th birthday. That brings me to "that" subject...
I will be 30 years old in less than 30 days!!! Where did the time go?! On September 15th, the sun will set on my 20s and "The Dawn of A New Era" will begin. I've been truly blessed in a lot of ways, but nonetheless, getting older still makes you wanna grab the reigns on life and scream WHOOOOAAAAAAAAAA BOY, SLOW DOWN!!! So, with that comes a lot. I have to renew my driver's license. Side Note: I cant wait to take a new picture!! I actually feel pretty "young" today. I don't know if its because of the excitement of making progress with weight loss...or if its because I've really embraced and absolutely love my new look (got my hair cut really short and added highlights) or what! No doubt, I'm loving it all!!
So, I haven't taken my measurements in some while...maybe I'll do that in the AM. I can't wait to get off work, so I can hit the gym hard. Did I mention I have a new passion for running on the treadmill?? Something I never thought I'd enjoy doing...but no better way to feel thinner than to get a good run in! LOL!!!
