I was looking through old journals yesterday to see if I had measurements at this weight before. This is what I weighed when I got pregnant with my 2nd kid, but I'm in a smaller size now. Thinking I have more muscle as I've been working out pretty regularly. Anyhoo I couldn't find measurements logged in my journals, a couple notations of I lost *this many* inches, so somewhere written down are measurements, not that big a deal that I'm going to try to find them, lol. It was a bit eye opening to see that I have some of the same journals in 2009 that I do today, for example stop with the soda and chips in the morning. Good Lord I've been eating that crap for breakfast for 4 years. Grow up already! So in light of his reading, I think I need to approach this "diet" thing from a different angle, rather than it be a diet, don't eat this don't eat that I'm going to view it as a lifestyle change. The changes I make will be forever, not just to lose weight, but to be healthy forever. I'm a grown up, not a highschool kid who eats junk food all the time (maybe occasionally, but not all the time :) This will be my new mindset!! Another eye opener was seeing that from March 2011 to September 2011 I gained 27lbs. I'm not sure how that was possible (no I wasn't pregnant!), but I know 2011 was extremely stressful for me and I was very depressed most of the year. Obviously I ate my feelings and didn't move! Another lifestyle change, be positive! Even if don't feel positive, I'm going to fake it until I feel it!
Started another challenge last night. I am very much enjoying the squat challenge, so I started the one hundred pushups challenge last night. I saw someone mention it and checked out the website. Interesting! I did Day 1 yesterday and could really feel it across my chest, back, arms, and abs. My abs even feel a bit more pulled in today!
Happy Tuesday!
