So I'm back, I'm sort of motivated again, and it only took me 2 months! More like 5 years in gym/health time. Better late than never right? That's what I'm telling myself at this point. I never knew how badly going on that cruise would sabotage my diet and exercise. I mean geez when I came back from that vacation I didn't want to do anything anymore! I was like, "I have nothing else to work for." "I miss eating food." "I hate working out now." Lol words of the lazy :-S
I've gone through a lot of feelings the past 2 months. For a week or 2 after my trip I did absolutely nothing in regards to my herbalife or workout routine. I went through a big depression bit, and it was hard for me to be motivated to do anything! After I passed through that, I told myself, "Ok Kylah, get back on it! You've wasted enough time already!" So I went ahead and ordered twice the amount of herbalife shakes to give myself variety and well my hubby said he was going to join me too. Well I didn't even stick to any routine. I would go through a detox phase of being back on it, and it would seriously turn me off to taking Herbalife because I just didn't have time to be in bathroom with cramps and the runs (Sorry for such gross detail, but it is what it is).
So I was thinking to myself maybe Herbalife just isn't the diet for me. I love food, and I'd rather try something else that involves me being able to eat every meal. So I signed up for Weight Watchers. Guess how long that lasted? 1 day hahaha. Hear me out on this though. When I signed up I was looking through the program in more detail, and seeing the system, and I just realized that it's all about portion control and eating healthier foods! Why pay money monthly, when I can just do that myself? So I started cutting my portions, and trying to eat healthier the last couple weeks. Also up-ing my water intake again because I had been slacking hardcore on that! Things so far have been going good on that, I feel like I have more self control over it all now. I wasn't going to do Herbalife anymore, but I've decided to stick with it. I probably won't replace 2 meals a day, but just 1. If anything Herbalife helps me with my calorie intake and portion control, so I'll stick with it for now.
Now for exercise! It seems I have been more active, as far as taking my kid to the park, or just getting up and moving around more. But I still haven't gone to the gym to work out specific parts of my body like I need to. I seriously do NOT want to workout in the evening, and if I stay at my home gym, that's the only option I have. So next paycheck, the 23rd, I'll be getting a gym membership that has day care in it. That way I can go during the day, and still be able to have someone watch Skyla for me. I finally made myself think of a goal event to work towards, and that'll be our Regional Bible Convention. It's August 21-23, so I'll have about 1 month to get down some pounds. I think if I go to the gym atleast 5 days a week, and keep watching my portions and calories, that I can get down 10 to 15 pounds in that amount of time. So my goal is to atleast lose 10 pounds by August 21st! My 5 year anniversary is August 28th, so it wouldn't hurt to look better by then too ;-) I was a little excited to check my weight today. Of course I gained weight when I got back from cruise, but last I checked I was 205 lbs. Today when I weighed I was 203lbs. So I've already started this process on a good foot, and I know once I start at the gym it'll only get better!
I'm hoping I can keep this positive attitude. I hope that I get into a great routine at the gym and make no excuses. I know I'll have my "I'm only a fat human" moments and slack here and there. But I just don't want to stop completely this time. Ok that's all I have for now....feel free to keep track of my blogs again and keep me in check!
