Day 29

I'm going to go ahead and blog for today, because I'm catching up and don't want to fall behind again.  So today I have eaten my other half of my sandwich, the pickle it came with, and my cookie.  That's really it, so I know I need to eat some more.  Ive noticed the pictures on the treadmill haven't been the best and I'm not breaking my goals again.  I hate to throw in an excuse, but I don't bust it all out now on the treadmill since I have been doing other things.  I'm still getting my cardio, still going up to 15% incline, walking fast and the same ole stuff, but just not pushing myself all the way.  I don't want to get tired or sore and then hurt myself in the 30 minute workout.  Either way I'm working out and burning more calories the way I'm doing it now and I'm working on my muscle tone and doing different types of cardio, working out different parts of my body.

Ive been finding some people on facebook that has transformations of their body and its good to watch and see how they are doing things.  I love the little graphics of motivation that I have been reading and wanted to share some.

I do have plans on working out tonight, since I cant tomorrow, cause I close at work and well.....I don't have a car to get there and its okay to have a day of rest anyways.

Tomorrow is also my weigh in day.  I'm not sure how I'm going to get there or if I will be able too, but I do hope I can and will.  My goal last Wednesday was to lose another 5 pounds.  I'm not sure if I made it or not, but I do hope it went down some.  I do look forward to weigh in days, even though when I get there I get nervous to see the results.  I do have a fear of gaining weight or working my butt off and losing like a pound.  I know it will happen one day, but I cant give up and still strive to reach  my goal! :) 

I know I do have a push-through-the- pain mindset.  I know when I workout, I tell myself one more, or 3 more and you know what?  I'm still alive and I still am put together.  I have noticed, I have been pushing myself alot more lately and I have to literally walk it off from the pain that I am driving myself too, especially with weights.  I feel GREAT after a workout and I love that feeling of accomplishment.  I also have been stretching alot lately and can tell I'm more flexible and that feels good too!

I hope if anyone is reading this that is trying to lose weight, that this blog is help or encouragement.  I know alot of times, its just a repeat of my daily life, but I do know I'm going to have to switch it up soon, because I know my body is going to get used to this workout.  I try and tell my friends that are on this road, WE CAN DO IT!!!  and TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!!  I don't compare myself to anyone when I'm at the gym, because I am me, and I push myself to what I know I can handle.  Just because the person next to me, is better or stronger, or less or weaker, doesn't mean anything to me.  I used to compare and have competition all growing up, but now for once, and maybe because I'm doing this for me, I really am comfortable with myself and my weight and really wanting to change it.  I know I said I'm comfortable, but I mean that I am okay with telling everyone that I am 248 pounds, because I know I wont be for long!!! :)
