Man does it feel good to be back in my normal, every day, routine! I have officially started my wedding diet, so hoping to see results sooner rather than later! Right now is the part where I am slowly trying to ween myself off of sweets, alcohol, and bread. I am not going to cut carbs out completely until a few weeks before my wedding, so I do have some time!
This week's gym routine has consisted of more cardio than weight training due to the fact that I want to start feeling like the old me. Once I start feeling good about myself again, I will start to add more weight training to my every day routine. I am not overweight or anything like that, but I am used to seeing myself look a bit thinner, and I know that will be the only way for me to feel comfortable and feel extremely happy/sexy in my own skin. Some people like to call me crazy, but I just call it motivation and wanting to feel great about myself every day!
I have meal prepped for the week, and stopped eating after 9pm. Dinners (for the most part) have also been home cooked. I am definitely in that phase where I am getting more strict on myself again about what I am eating. Socially drinking will have to come to an end soon as well. As I have said in previous posts, I do not drink much, but when I do drink, I hate the way I feel the next day, and it also does NOT help with weight loss. If I do go out, and I feel like having a glass of wine, I will have one glass of wine and that will be my limit. Everything should be done at your own pace when it comes to dieting. Some people get crazy into it and show results rather quickly, while others may take some time because it is not something that comes easy for them.
We all have goals in life, and right now, this is mine. I am motivated and determined to look a way that I have envisioned in my mind for a while, and will not stop until I have reached that goal! I hope that you too will stay motivated when it comes to accomplishing your weight loss goals, or any goals you have in mind for that matter!
