JUST A BIT MORE TO GO

So here i am. Today, well actually this is me on Saturday. I have officially lost 73 lbs. I am still not done though. I have no magic number i would like to reach and i am in no rush to have it come off. I live because "life happens" and i am still at WW. When i find myself in a rut... a stand still, lacking motivation and see the scale starting to creep up again i go back to WW. It sets the sails in motion again.

I am no superhuman. No die hard. I eat hamburgers, MacDonalds and birthday cake, but my trick now is to balance it with exercise. If i want to eat a gross amount of pizza than i have to pick and choose time to do a gross amount of exercise to counter act the pizza. Right before i choose to have the second or third piece i pick a time that i can work out.. Right there on the spot.

Basically it comes down to one rule... Your output has to be more than your input.... lamens terms.. you have to burn more calories than you eat... that is the trick.. The golden rule. The only secret.

For all of you struggling, i know where you are and what you are going through. The new plan every night before you go to bed. You tell yourself that "tomorrow is a new day" the first day to the new me... then tomorrow comes and goes and you lay in bed and do it all over again.

I am still working. Everyday just like the first, with choosing the best choices and doing what i can when i can to get where i want to be. It is a lifestyle change in every way. EVERYTHING about the way i lived two years ago has changed except maybe my love for my family...

Working out sucks... it does. But when you are done you feel like you have done something just for you. Somedays i have to get up at 5am and go for a run just to fit some me time in. I am back on my list... still not at the top, and i don't plan to ever make it there but i am on there... maybe second from the bottom some days but as long as i stay on the list I will make time for me.
