Hey, hey hey! Hey my lovely ladies and gents! I am here for another update! But wait, can ya’ll believe it is MARCH?! Like, seriously?! How about I only have a few more weeks before my weight loss goal is suppose to be achieved! I just can’t believe how fast time has flown by. I will admit to you right now, I will NOT be meeting my initial goal. And I’m not even mad. I’ve lost… but in more ways than one! J I may have lost reaching my weight loss goal, but I’ve lost weight period! And that’s all that truly matters to me! >>Reality Check>> It has taken me over 25 years to gain this weight… so allowing myself more time to take it off is not going to kill me any. J So grant it, it’s not April yet and I’m still counting the pounds lost. So it would only be right to give you the full run down on my total weight loss experience next month. So April be looking out for that. That should be interesting.*lol*
Ok, so February and its endeavors were great! I still drink protein shakes… almost every day too. And I do think it truly has helped in my weight loss efforts. On top of being actually tasty, they are convenient. I don’t always have time to make a meal. Better yet, feel like cooking. So a protein shake has always served its purpose in that alone. And when I’m out and about and start to get that itch to go through a drive-thru, I always have a shake in my purse along with a piece of fruit. And that will hold me over until I get home to eat or some place I can make a better food choice.
The B.I.G. Mentorship has been amazing! I love the group of women that were selected and we all are coming together so well! The workouts are starting to get longer and intense… which is what we need! And our “talk” sessions are always a breath of fresh air. A time to just vent and express ourselves. We have a great time together! I’m so glad I was picked to be a part of it. We have a few more weeks of it and I’m looking forward to seeing all of us really achieve some lasting lifestyle changes, friendships, and of course some weight loss! J
Now, you know I keep it 100% real with you guys on my blog. So even though you didn’t ask *lol* I’m going to let you in on some things. I have had some major setbacks over the past few weeks. In my personal life, at my job, and just emotional things that have went on that threw me off my weight loss "high". I didn’t totally fall off like I‘ve done in the past. But enough for me to start to feel like blahhhhh :/ I mean, this is life and what matters is how you bounce back, right? So I made sure not to dwell too long in this “state of mind” or beat myself up for all the McDonald’s and oreo cookies with peanut butter I devoured during that time either. *lol* I just took it one day at a time. And I’m happy to report that as of today, I’m at a place (mentally) where I’m ready to move on from those setbacks and continue with my lifestyle change. I even woke up a 6AM to do a 2 mile Walk Away the Pounds DVD today. And I'm promising myself that during my lunch breaks at work I will do some type of exercise. I might go out for a walk or go to an empty office and bust out in some squats. Yes... I’m truly focused. And I know if I can do it… then YOU CAN!
What are some exrercises/routines that you do during the day? Or when you have time? I would love to know. Feel free to leave me a comment.
Well everybody… until next time.. I’ll HOLLA ♥ And thanks for reading.
