Hi buddies! Hope the New Year is bringing success to the weight loss journey! Well as for me….it’s AWESOME! I have lost 3 lbs so far this week and my weigh in isn’t til Sunday, so hope to get another lb of flub off! I haven’t been able to do any cardio since Wednesday because I hurt my knee running last Sunday. So it’s been all upper body weight training since. I have done weights for years and they bring significant change fast for me, so that’s a huge plus now that my knee is out of commission.

As for my nutrition. It’s been so good and this is the kicker for me. Last night I wanted something to eat so bad but literally had to have a conversation in my head about it. Sure the food would bring me temporary pleasure but I would go backwards so fast and all my work would be wasted. Have done this a thousand times, all my “I’ll start tomorrow” are no more. I will no longer sabatoge my hard work, I will no longer put my body on the backburner..notice how we all do this, we buy face creams, wrinkle creams, make-up, etc… you name it, all to make our neck and upward look good. Forget it, I want to look down and like what I see instead of avoiding it and hiding it with baggy clothes. This has gone on way to long, 3 years now of avoiding my image in the bathroom mirror when I get out of the shower. How sad is that? THIS is my year for change! By fall I will look in that bathroom mirror with a smile and know I have accomplished what I started!

Oh and my biggest trial has been not eating out, eat at home people, make your meals…because it is so easy to say “Oh I’ll order something that’s healthy” but the temptation is sometimes too great! Just my thoughts anyway!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
