Sunday Funday...NOT

But on a brighter note... I weighed in this morning and am down a total of 6 pounds in 1 week, thanks to Atkins Low Carb plan, and the Body by Vi meal replacement shakes. Love Love LOVE the plan I am following. Feeling full and losing!!! Is always a wonderful feeling!

My Savior! Breakfast and Lunch

So Today starts exercise 101. I hate to exercise. Well, I shouldn't say I hate it, I just have a hard time getting motivated to do it...but once I get into a routine I feel guilty when I cheat myself and eat bad or don't go to the gym or workout at all. I'm starting with the basics. I'm trying to get down this whole exercise thing. I know people divide their body groups up for muslce strengthening, but I have yet to figure that out. I know there's purpose behind it, I'm just not exactly sure when it comes to someone like me, who maybe makes it to the gym 3 times a week. 

Gotta Move it to LOSE IT!!

I cleaned my basement and made a workout area down there with my set of 5 pound weights, and my treadmill. I'd like to invest in an elliptical too, maybe soon. I also have my body ball, and my resistance bands so I am good to go. I am going to aim for going to the gym 3 days a week since it's so hard for me to go- I have to force myself, but now I have no excuse since yesterday I worked my butt off and got my "area" together. I have to do it at home too. I should be able to get at least 5 days out of working out. I just have to set my mind to it.

I think a lot of my problem is that I am in denial. When I think of myself, I still sort of see the person I used to be, wearing the size 8 jeans. Then, I look at myself in the mirror and I see the reality. I ask myself- How the heck did I get here. 239.0 pounds.

I have to remind myself that this isn't just a diet. It is a lifestyle... So when I get discouraged... I CANNOT GIVE UP. However, I am definitely feeling motivated and excited!!
