Motivation for this week

So I found my motivation this morning and last night. My hubby had to go to a school in VA for 5 weeks. He accidentally packed my uniform pants. So they were on the bed and just to see how I was progressing with my weight loss not thinking they would fit I put them on. Oh my they fit and I am not meaning suck it in and zip them they are comfortable fitting. When I went back to work the end of November I couldn’t even button them. I need to measure everything but whoo for me. Then I was like well geez if those fit maybe my size 14s fit. And sure enough they do. I was so excited. I am more motivated than ever to keep eating good and going to work out. Now I think I am more motivated to eat even better.

Doing better

Made it to the gym three days last week. Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Had to work through lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. But it is better than the previous weeks while everyone was sick. I had gained a few pounds back but now am sitting at 164 so good for me. Hopeing to keep the downward movement. Looks like it will keep going. Just got to get to the gym more. I am watching what I am eating and being careful to eat in smaller portions. I haven't cut anything but soda out yet and that isn't working well either. Had some this morning. It was a late night early morning, lol. Oh well new week with new goals right? So goal for this week is to cut out sugary drinks including my starbucks addiction that has recently acted up. Also working to make it to the gym a minimum of 3 days but going for 4 as an improvement to last week. We shall see how it goes. Going to weight myself tomorrow morning to see how I am doing and then go from there. Clothes seem to be a little loser so maybe we are doing better than I think.

Not well

Well lets see I haven't managed to get to the gym in two weeks or more. I need to get moving if I hope to lose any weight. I really want to be below my prepregnancy weight and size before Chris gets home from VA in March. I guess Monday is a whole new week with new goals and chances. I am going to go in the mornings before Chris goes to school to give me the pep I need for the mornings. Here is to hopeing and a new year to work on me.
