75: The Hardest Part

I used to think that I was so large when I wasn't. I used to think I was so ugly looking, when I wasn't. Now that I'm older, I see older photos of myself and realize just how delusional I was. And I think if I didn't change now and kept going on this trajectory, I'd look back at myself now and think of how pretty I am, even thought right now I look and feel horrible. But I should be and do better than that and actually love myself, because I am pretty. Inside and out. 

But now for the hard part. The statistics. The thing that I'm most embarrassed about posting. 

DAY 1 STATS: 
Neck: 14.5 in
Chest: 47 in
Biceps: 13 in
Waist: 39 in
Hips: 47in 
Thighs 23 in  
Weight: 220 lbs

But you know what? Even with this body, I did it. I ate clean. I walked 5k steps, I drank my huge bottle of water and now I'm about to get into bed and read my book. 74 more days to go!

Day 61: Measurement day!

Today was a rest day. I think I could have pushed myself, but I'm really not feeling well so I wanted to just have a relaxing day. If I do feel better tomorrow then I'll start incorporating weights. Eating wise, I've only had some leftovers... so we'll see what the rest of the day brings. But it is cool to see the progress. I'm already down 4lbs.  Day 15 Stats:  Neck: 14. in Chest: 46 in Biceps: 12 in Waist: 38 in Hips: 46.5 in  Thighs 22 in   Weight: 216 lbs

74: Routine and Pain

Routine is always hard.  For my 45 minutes of workout time, I'm just using that time to walk. And my goal for the whole day is 10k steps.  Today I tried to get my steps in earlier than yesterday, but I got them rather late in the day which was fine, but I know myself and I know that if I don't do them earlier than I'll make excuses later and I can't let that happen since routines are so hard. I think the main two things I'm focusing on is moving and watching what I eat so that I'm in a calories deficit. So, I'm aiming to wake up earlier and get most of my walking done then. After two days of 10k steps, my feet and back are in pain, but I'm sure I'll get used to that right? Eventually I'll start adding weights and yoga into the mix, but for right now I just want to hit that 10k walking goal.  I'm currently reading Women Who Love Too Much. While that's kind of embarrassing to admit, it's something that has been helpful during this break...
