YAY! I worked my ass off yesterday, I mean, I went walking at the beach and then I came home and did a workout video, The Core Secrets and for the rest of the night I was randomly doing lunges or some kind of tricep move. Anyways, its paid off! This morning, I was 234 on the scale! Still such a big weight, but I managed to get down the three pounds I wanted by the day I wanted. Plus Im surfing the crimson wave, if you know what I mean. Im so excited. This is the biggest deal to me. The sooner I can lose this weight and look at myself in the mirror without flinching the better!
As for my post the other day, I didnt mean to offend people who have had some sort of weight loss surgery. That wasnt my intention at all and so I would like to extend an apology to those of you that I did offend. My point was that sometimes there is an underlying issue and its important to get to that before making any dramatic changes. Like for me, I had to sit down and really think last night about my whole life and things that have effected me in negative ways. Ive realized every time I have lost weight, I have gained it back because Ive never done it for the right reasons. The last time I lost allot of weight was because my aunt was there, making sure I did everything right, and if I screwed up I'd have to hear about it so I did my best to not disappoint. But then as soon as I moved I gained the weight back because I didnt have anyone to be accountable to anymore, well, except myself but I didnt take myself seriously. I mean, come on, what was I going to do if I ate too much? Spank myself? Then yesterday while doing my video, I realized I've never tried to lose weight because of ME or what I wanted. So that helped. And you know what, blogging is proving to be good therapy, too, because it seems the more "confessions" I make, the better I do. Im not keeping things to myself anymore, and no offense to you guys, but I love knowing that other people are in the same predictament as me, and everyone is trying to better themselves. Its free too!
Amazingly, Ive been more interested in psychology than ever. I think if I start school in May I want to make that my major. Theres so much to learn about why people do the things they do and it intrigues me.
Ok, dont forget to "spring forward" tonight!
UPDATE: I just worked out on the elliptical--burnt 433 calories and 74 carbs, went for 40 minutes. I also did my core secrets video again...Who knew how motivational 3 pounds could be huh?!
