I did it. I switched plans! I was struggling so bad and so unhappy. Yes, I’d already lost a bunch of weight… but I was miserable. Beyond miserable. All I did was switch from 3 liquid meals a day to two plus one actual meal. I went from 600 calories to 1000. Still a low calorie diet. I’ve also been more comfortable to add in A LOT more exercise. Today alone I walked 4 miles. I had a blast doing it. My plan is to start trying some P90x in the next few days too. I feel amazing. I can’t remember the last time I felt so good. I see the littlest differences in things like my face, my thighs, my fingers… it’s awesome. I ended up having to buy some new pants (wore out the thighs… damn thunder thighs)… I went from 16-18s to 12-14s. One pair I got were 14s and another were 12s. I feel so skinny and good in the 12s. It was the best feeling. Everyone keeps commenting on the changes. I love it. I can’t wait to keep it up. Charli is loving all of the walks. I am even toying with the idea of attempting jogging. *GASP* haha. We shall see. No matter what, I have to start slow. Every time I try to get the ball rolling with working out on the regular, I tweak my back enough to derail. I refuse to let that happen this time. REFUSE. I am just over 2 months away from my *29 for the second time* birthday… my goal was 30 by 30. I am SO close to that already. I am 22lbs down. 22 freaking pounds. THAT IS INSANE. In just 5 weeks! I can do this. I CAN DO THIS. In this whole 6+ year journey, I have never hit this point. Never been so determined.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, complemented me and understood what I was going through. I couldn’t do this without you all!
