My decision to eat 3 meals, instead of 2, seems to be working. I'm not cheating and this morning woke to a 1 pound loss, so I am exactly 22lbs less than when I started, and in the 160's. Crazy. I am happy with the decision, and look forward to these last two weeks of VLCD before moving into P3 & 4. I had thought to not exercise until P4 but am changing my mind and will be starting my 20 minute PowerFit workouts in P3, along with couch to 5k for cardio. I am getting a jogging/cycling stroller next week or so, and will be taking my son along with me for that. I'll add in bike rides once the weather improves, and I get a bike lol. I hope that taking kiddo along with me will show him how to be active and energized. I also hope it will help to tighten my up.
It's crazy that I have lost 1/3 of the weight I want to lose, and am well on my way to my goal. But what surprises me sometimes is that when I was younger, say high school and university, I was about 125lbs, a little less or more. And thought I was huge. Like terrible. How bad is that? I mean I was at a healthy weight, and was able to wear things I can't even imagine wearing now. But still, I thought I was big and ugly. Then about 8 years ago I lost some weight, and was about 165lbs, and thought I was fabulous. But I was still bigger, about where I am now actually... how crazy is it that my imagine is so messed up I can't really see myself for how I really look. It makes me sad. I know that I have a ways to go, for sure, but I have come pretty far too.
I can do this, and improve my body imagine. I can look how I want, and feel pretty and fabulous. I can be healthy and fit, and a good example for my son. We shall see what tomorrow morning brings on the scale. But for tonight, it's time for bed, and hopefully a good loss over night. Or at least a loss of some sort.
