Uhhhggggg.... Weigh In

Well after 8 days or so of feeling sorry for myself and not really doing anything I finally got back on the horse as of last Saturday (Friday night offically but...) and I feel great! Still HATE those numbers but I feel really energized and upbeat.

The difference, as I said in my post yesterday, I believe is totally from the fact that I have completely rearranged my eating patterns and the types of foods I eat. Switching to whole or real foods has made the biggest difference in the way I feel physically and mentally and also nearly eliminated my cravings.

I got in a bit of a slump there, thinking I couldn't do this on my own. Thinking I needed friends to join me and when they committed but I wasn't hearing from them that put me in a funk... but no more. I am going to do this, I got fat by myself and I'm going to get fit the same way. I guess its time to put on my big girl panties and shut off the nightlight and just face what ever it is I need to face head on.

Yesterday I did a first; I did step aerobics for 1 full hour! I was sooooo excited! My goal is to be able to work up to step aerobics for an hour and a half and weights for a half an hour.... I don't have a set time, I just am working my way there. I know that I want my body to "move in oxygen" for at least 1 to 2 hours a day. It just feels so darn good!

Well from the time I started my Wii fitness journey I have gone from stepping only 20 minutes to 60 and I have lost 8 lbs. I was dieting before I started the Wii Fit and I was 290.5 so its really a total of 18.7 lbs!!!! A long way to go yet I know, but baby I'm on my way! Just a side note about the exercise, it felt soooo good to hear how proud my hubby was of me. He can tell a difference in my attitude and how happy I seem. I'm so blessed to have him as my partner. I'm so thankful he is mine :)
