Wow, I really need to be better about posting! I apologize to everyone that I have not been posting more but things have been busy! I have started classes and between working, working out and class I hardly have time for much anymore! I have been doing great at going to the gym. I am going at least 3 times a week (which is pretty good when I wasn't going at all before!) and I am worked up to doing 45 minutes at a time. I have been trying my hardest to mix things up so I don't get bored. Yesterday I ran for a minute and a half on the treadmill! It felt great and I was so suprised I could do it. Tonight I decided to shovel the driveway for Adam before he got home from work. He isn't home yet so I don't know if he is suprised or not but I am glad I did it. It also burns a ton of calories. Again eating has been my biggest downfall. I am really trying to be careful with my eating but it is much harder than it seems.
One thing I am having trouble with is looking myself in the mirror. I have always had issues with mirrors and scales but lately it has gotten worse. By looking in the mirror sometimes all I see is my flaws and not the good parts that I have. It is hard for anyone overweight or not to look in the mirror and not be disgusted at times. I am always suprised when some beautiful and talented celebrity talks about how bad their self image is. It is amazing that no matter how much talent and success someone has they can still have issues with their body. I am sure most people would argue that the media is to blame but honestly I am sure it is just a part of being human. Working on my self-esteem is also something I am going to do during this journey.
One exciting thing that is happening in our life right now is that we are getting new carpet for the office! I am so excited about this because it is going to help our house look so much better! I am going to paint this weekend and hopefully next week the carpet will be installed..
Well I hope that my next blog doesn't take as long as this one did! Things are definitely starting to gain momentum in my weight less journey....
