Good-bye 180's! It's all happening!
I started making dietary changes on May 31. I have lost 23 pounds in those two months. I'll take it! Only 39 more pounds to go. Fatsecret says it will take me five months to reach my goal. It's only taken 2 to get half way there so by the fall I should be looking pretty good. Just in time to wear heavy coats and cover up my new bod! ;).
Unlike so many of the HFLCer's on here, I've actually cut out most animal products. I still eat a little cheese, eggs and milk, but mostly it's just veggies that are keeping slim. And running! Before I started making babies (12 years ago!), I used to run. I even ran a half marathon once. Then, I got pregnant x 3! I never thought I would get back to loving running. Every time I tried, it was miserable. This time is different. Running is my "me" time. And it makes me feel good. When I started this journey 2 months ago, I was exhausted all. the. time. I couldn't get through the day without a nap. I have so much more energy now. Tomorrow is my 46th birthday. I'm going to allow myself to have some mexican food and a little ice cream cake, but I don't feel the need to go overboard. The key for me has been finding pleasure and reward in something else besides food. I think I'll treat myself to a long run along the waterfront.
