All or nothing!
Mar 25, 2011
I am at 215.8 lbs this morning, woohoo! The last time I was this weight was in 2006 while my husband was deployed, but then during the second half of that deployment, I gained 45 lbs
. I am feeling like a rock star to be completely honest, I am thrilled to leave my house, knowing people will not be glancing my way because I am looking frumpy. I don't feel like a house anymore, which is honestly freeing!I do know what people mean when they say they still see the "old" them in the mirror. The mirror isn't my friend most days, but seeing myself in pictures, and trying on my old clothes sure does let me know the progress I am making! My husband also helps with this, he can pick me up, wrap me tight in a hug and I feel tiny, which I know I'm not, but it feels wonderful! He tells me all the time how much I am changing, the other day he was rubbing my feet and said even my feet are getting thinner, hahaha.
So, I have some confessions, I am a carb addict, drink with my food sometimes and haven't been keeping up with my vitamins. TODAY this is going to start changing! I am doing the 5 day pouch test, I know it seems kinda of early for this, but to be honest, I need to detox from my bad habits. So today and tomorrow are all liquids, day 3 will be soft proteins, day 4 is more solid proteins and day 5 is solid proteins. I am an all or nothing kind of girl, so I know this is the program I need right now. There is a bit of hope that this will give my weightloss a kick in the butt!
We went hiking recently at Hueco Tanks, it is beautiful and I can't wait to go again! It was shocking, I wasn't winded, my heart wasn't beating through my chest, and I didn't need to take 50 breaks! It is amazing how much a body can change in such a short period of time, THANK YOU DR. ACOSTA!!!!!
I love all my OH friends, thank you for the constant support!
