Exercise with a little noticed progression!

Well, today I haven't had much of an appetite, and I really cannot complain, the less calories I consume the better off I am!

I did some laundry today, so I've been up and down the basement times probably 20 times. I'm counting it as exercise lol. I also went for a 2.1 mile walk around the neighborhood like I generally do. I feel better having done it. I just have to make it a habit.

WEEKLY GOAL:

WALK 2.1 Miles EVERYDAY(until weigh in Friday)

I was looking at myself in the mirror today, and I was trying to notice if I could see where the 12.2 pounds were lost, and I do see it a little bit. So I'm happy, it makes me want to keep going and to be better!
12.2 pounds lost. 


Actually, Since the picture on the left, I have lost 16.2 pounds but since I started my Journey for the millionth time on June 25th, I am only down 12.2 pounds. It's been a fluctuating battle, but I have to keep going no matter the gain or loss! My weight is such a roller coaster, but I feel like I can see a bit of a difference in my stomach area, not much but enough.

I've worked out a method to my madness. HAHA! I've decided that until further notice or plans, my cheat days will be after I weigh in on Friday mornings. If I solely have 1 cheat day to eat 1 cheat meal a week and I do it the day of my weigh in, that literally gives me the entire week to work it off, and I can live with that! It prevents me from being sooo discouraged by the results of my bad habits!

At this point I'm not so sure I will reach my goal of losing 10 pounds this month, if so that means I need to lose 8 more pounds, I'm hoping for about 5 more though. But that means I am really going to have to work for it!

I've also started taking vitamins, and it's really helping with my energy!
Women's One A Day Energy Multi-vitamin
B Complex
Biotin (hair skin and nail growth a must have!)
Folic Acid (eventually I'd like to have children, being a nurse and knowing the importance I want to make sure its abundant in my system)

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!
