So I'm going to be completely honest with all of you...my weight loss isn't going so great this time around. At this point I've lost half of what I had lost by week 6 of the last challenge I did. I think the slower pace of losing makes it harder to stay focused and motivated. I'm determined though to keep losing, even if it takes a lot longer than I had originally planned and hoped for.
This week's challenge to stop eating at 8 PM has been good for me. It is such a habit for me to have a snack at night after my kids are in bed...and usually it's not a healthy snack. This week I've realized that I definitely don't need it. I'm not hungry, it is just a habit, and I can break it.
So I'm just trying to keep going and focus on feeling better and being healthier even when the scale isn't moving. So here are a few of my non-scale victories this week. Tonight I ran a mile with my husband...I hate running...I haven't run since long before I was pregnant with my now 6 month old...so that was a victory, I'm glad to know I can run a mile without dying. I also managed this week to distract my Zumba teacher and make her forget where she was at in the middle of the song! We were dancing along and I thought it was time for a big arms waving over the head turn...well I turned about 8 counts to early...as soon as I realized I was the only one turning I tried to correct myself and ended up doing one of the most spastic dance moves of all times...apparently crazy enough to stop a very experienced Zumba instructor mid-dance. Now that takes some fitness skills right there! Right?
Anyway, thanks for hanging in this challenge with me! Keep on Ladies!
