Eye Opening Evening

Last night Jackie and Patrick had an Extreme Weight Loss Seminar and I was asked to be a testimonial. I was very excited. I tried not to think about it during the week so, when I was at the office, waiting for the seminar to start, I realized saying that I lost 40 lbs in 2-3 months was really awesome but, I haven't done anything these last 5-6 months. It made it look like any other diet plan that you stick to for a little while and then can't keep it up. This is not true at all. There are a lot of people that stick to this plan/lifestyle. It's not hard and I love the way I feel while I'm eating right. I don't know why I've allowed myself to "take a break". Maybe I was getting disappointed because I wasn't able to reach my goals. I would be very strict and would lose a pound here and there. Maybe it was because our family schedule had been all messed up and with being in school and being a mommy, I just didn't take the time to make the new schedule work for us.

Either way, I'm pretty good with our new schedule now, have a lot of new meal plans, and new way of making goals. This time, I'm not going to reward weight loss. Weight loss is a reward. This time I'm going to reward "good behavior". This week my goals are, exercise everyday and no candy. My reward? My husband has agreed to take care of the kids so I can have an hour all to myself. Once I have 4 weeks of goals met, I get a large reward. We are going camping Labor Day weekend so, that's my big one and will get something at the Old Threshers Reunion.

Until next time, keep up the hard work and you will be at your goal weight/size before you know it. Just take it one day at a time.
