Well I've hit a wall. And it hurts.
And I got sick. WTF.
Perhaps it's psychological but 4 months already and I want more weight gone.
Whining. I know there are plateaus. The exercise will pay off and has mentally.
Just sharing so if anyone else hits a wall at 4 months, or has, help?
The end.

Clothes
Okay... I've been a lower end PLUS sized gal for several years now, 6 or so to be kinda exact. At first, I was fascinated that ones body can expand but then I wasn't.
Well I am hear toyell, tell... I am no longer a plus sized girl, clothing wise. My brain is still adjusting.
I went to get some pants. While I didn't really like what I saw in the FULL LENGTH mirror with glaring lights, I liked that what I tried on was SMALLER. They were snug, something I stayed CLEAR, but comfy. I wore those pants today and as I wore them, they stretched and and and felt a bit ...baggy.
Can you say ENCOURAGING!!!!!!!!!!!!? Now that next step... exercise... the one I spoke of a mere 5 days ago!
I did walk the Lucifer twice. Have done the kitchen and waiting around lifts and pushes but it's the cardio I need to make the difference. I need to firm up this loose skin! As well as become stronger and even more balanced.
This week I was unbalanced. PMS (stands for Pretty Much Sycho) and I got sick. It zapped me which is not an excuse but I didn't want to worsen my cold. My class was Saturday and I didn't want to miss it. So this week, back at it.
Lucifer and I have a rhythm started so that makes it easier to want to get out. She is a good trainer too. Her pace is much faster than mine so it bumps it up for me. Good girl. You still annoy me but...
Off to stretch...

Happy New Year!
Resolutions come when we are ready. I was ready almost 4 months ago.
Over the Christmas break, I slipped and paid for it. Eating sugar isn't for me. It's taken 3 weeks to clean out my system. I am not sure I've got it all out. I've felt lethargic, moody, had an upset stomach, headaches and all around BLAH!
Since going back, I've felt more balanced but still don't feel completely there. It'll come.
Some things I noticed while eating more sugar and carbs.... I was hungrier, I had cravings, I would devour... I felt like an addict. Okay that's harsh but... now the 'neediness' has subsided. If I do get hungry, satiating it isn't greedy. I've even simply NOT felt hungry. An new one for moi! A sense of comfort comes with that. My focus can go to something else.
I know what would help me get over that last hump... exercise. This brings me to...
My friend Di initiated an exercise challenge a while back. While I failed to take it on fully, it was a motivator to do the odd sit up, push up and walk. With the New Year here, I sat down to think HOW to incorporate some stuff into what I do. Cook, clean, getting ready etc... I've come up with a starter plan...
TV sit ups, leg lifts and weights
Bed stretches
Sink push ups
Kitchen calf lifts, squats (also while doing hair)
Running up the stairs
There. Easy peasy.
Hopefully this will get me started. Here's to hoping!
