This will actually be more of a confession post. I made a goal a couple of weeks ago about eating healthy and exercising. And lets just say I have had some really good workouts. Workouts that have made me sore and not the post-op kind of sore. The good worked my muscles kind of sore.
I have been joining a few other ladies at the church to workout. One day we just walked (which I limped for 2 days after), another day we did a great Richard Simmons video (hilarious), and other days we have done different videos or exercises, focusing on different muscle groups. And I am proud to say, I did push-ups, a lot of push-ups. They were of the girl variety, but none the less, they were push-ups.
Now as for the eating healthy and "treating" myself to a "little" something. This has not gone as planned. The first few days were awesome! Then I treated myself for the next 2 days- sad. I have been going back and forth for a week and a half. Then I read a friend's post on Facebook. "down 19, 11 more to go" Seriously? I can do this. Really I can. My last 3 babies, I gained almost 50lbs each, and lost it all, each time. I can make this last push and lose the last 10.
This will be the goal- Lose 10 lbs. I can't workout like I used to, but I can eat healthy (I think this is the bigger part anyway). I am going to eat healthy until I hit that magical number. I don't know why we focus on a number, but I know that number makes my clothes fit better and I feel better. It may take me a month, it may take 2, but it will happen. Then I can focus on maintaining, and the fitness- by then I should be completely healed (fingers crossed). I will keep you posted, but I am going to "report" to the friend who has been doing such an awesome job. She is a great example and if I have to report in person- it will make me keep my goal.
