I'm officially at 263.2lbs, which means i'm only 10lbs away from being back at my pre-baby weight!! This is extremely exciting, as well as motivating.
Since I've been so busy, I've been eating like crap. Normally when I'm busy I go almost the entire day without eating, then when I realize that, I'll go through the McDonalds drive-thru quick. Fast and easy ... and so horrible for you! Plus, I always feel like shit after I eat it. So why do I keep going back? Convenience. It's there, it's ready, and I don't have to make it! But.now that I'm only 10lbs away from a sweet weight-loss milestone, I'm gonna rock it! I'll be down to that goal in two weeks with lots of water, walking and exercising! (PS, if you want amazing, kick-ass workouts, download the Nike Training Club app on your phone!) Below is the most recent picture of me that I took this weekend! I'll be taking another one in two weeks when I've lost 10lbs!
If you've been following this blog, you know that my ultimate goal is to be down a total of 100lbs by February 21, 2014 (my sonS first birthday). I'm going to kick ass and rock the weight-loss and get to that goal, and I am so excited! I've written a list of "rewards" for every ten pounds that I lose! When I lose the 100lbs, I've decided to slurge and do a photoshoog with Jerry Belliard Photography (check 'em out on facebook, ah-mazing!) I've already booked the shoot, so now I need to stay focused and shed the weight!
I've seen a few people this past week that I haven't seen in ages. All of them commented on my weight-loss, and said I was doing a great job! It was definitely a confidence booster bevause these last few weeks have been hard, and everytime I look in the mirror it feels like I haven't changed at all! It's hard to see changes in yourself, but that doesn't mean the changes aren't happening.
What has your weight-loss journey been like so far? What challenges have you come up against? What are your goals? Obviously my biggest goal is to lose 100lbs, but I'd also like people to compliment me ... not to boos my ego, but I'd like people to see past outside. Get to know me, and I mean REALLY take the time to get to know me. I get sick of the "You have such a pretty face" and "You have beautiful eyes" compliments. Ya, they're
nice and I appreciate them, but what about the rest of me? I wear clothes that compliment my body, not to hide it. I have a.pretty awesome personality, if I do say so myself. But nowadays, if you're over weight, no one wants to bother to even TRY and get to know you.
I was checking out photos on Instagram the.other.day, and there was a girl modelling a shirt from the Kardashian Kollection clothes line. One of the comments I saw said: "She's kinda fat ... I don't mean like fat fat, but she's definitely bigger then she should be." ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? You're calling a.girl who.is most likely a size Zero, fat!? So now women basically have to be invisible, or at the least anorexic, or else they're considered fat. Wow!
Fuck society. Screw all the people who think that way. Don't be a follower, be a leader. Let'schange the way society thinks.
"The hardest thing is to be yourself, in a world that's trying day in and day out, to make you like everyone else." Frankly, I don't want to be like everyone else. That shit is boring. I want to rock the person I am. I want to love myself and ignore the assholes that think I'm disgusting for being over weight. I am who I am, and honestly, if you actually took the time to get to know me, I think you'd like me as well.
Happy Monday! Go out, rock your body and your mind, and enjoy your day!
I love you all!
