Enough already!



I don't know about you but I got tired of hearing myself whine and complain and make excuses for my weight loss. So I stopped writting. You know what happened? (Of course you don't cause I stopped writting!) I figured something out. It's not that I am a carbohydrate addict (yes I am) or that I had post pardum (which I did) or that my body was resistant to exercise (it's not)

What I figured out is that it's easy and simple you just have to be ready to commit and go for it. I lost 15 pounds in the last couple months and am feeling better than I have in a long time.
  • I stopped drinking alot of alcohol. I set limits for myself. I give myself one night a week to enjoy some clear liquor with seltzer and lime and I am in heaven.
  • I stopped eating fast food. This one was really hard for me since I love Wendy's and Burger King and Taco time! The thing is that once I stopped eating it and then tried it two weeks later I was very disappointed in the taste! It was not as I remember. It was a sad  eye opening experience and it's been easier to avoid fast food ever since.
  • I realized that me going to the gym for an hour was an hour without kids! What!!! An hour without kids and the focus is all on me and feeling good.  I am still not in love with running but I do love lifting weights it is fun to challenge myself and see how much I can do. 
That's it. That is all I have done differently! It's insane. My next move is to start eating clean. But this is the end of my weight loss blog. I have decided to take it in a different direction of self discovery. I will post again tomorrow and let you know what I am thinking! No more whining or making excuses for not being the person I want to be. This is going to be fun. I hope you stay with me on my journey!
