January
I had the full intention of coming on here on Tuesday and pretty much admitting defeat and deciding that I couldn't do this anymore. I couldn't go to the gym all last week due to being really sick. I just had this terrible cold and couldn't push myself to do cardio when it's hard to breathe before exerting any energy. I was able to keep up with the new diet though...mainly no fast food and no soft drinks. I STILL haven't had myself a Coca-Cola and I'm so proud of that. Monday, I was just finally getting over my cold and I didn't really feel like going to the gym. So I didn't.
Then I decided to read through my blog posts and realized that this is what has happened every time in the past. I get sick, stop going to the gym, and never go back. In the past though, I didn't change my diet to go along with the new routine. I decided that I would have to push through this roadblock and keep going.
I walked into the gym on Tuesday feeling like it was the first time all over again. I have no idea why I was so nervous! I have this routine where I weigh in every Friday but for some reason, I decided to step on the scale at the gym before I started to see the damage I had done in the past week and a bit without going.
I lost 15 pounds.
I was honestly astonished. I couldn't believe it. Instantly, I felt like getting on that stationary bike and getting back to work. It was something to see the results in the mirror but another to see them on the scale. It's an awesome feeling. I've now gone to the gym three nights in a row.
Here I am...still going. My next goal is to be below 300 pounds for the first time in a long time. At this pace, that should happen sometime in May. I will renew my gym membership tomorrow.
