Red Dress p.3

I am going to say it from the beginning. I did not want to do this this week or last for that matter. But I have to confess. I did horribly. I had a migraine for three days and I ate like crap and I actually gained 5 pounds. I was so sad I sat there and cried. Everything inside me wanted to eat all the bad foods I could get my hands on. But I refrained.

I did realize something. If I actually ate right I would be losing weight like hot cakes. I saw how much I was eating, close to three thousand calories a day. When I was working out everyday I was staying about the same weight. When I stopped working out I gained. If I worked out and ate like I was eating for one and not 10, I might be a lot closer to my goal than to this.

I am the one in purple. It was one of my favorite shirts EVER! This is what I looked like when I met my husband.

 

That's me on the left. There is a BIG difference there. I want to be her again. I want to be the happy rosy cheeked thin girl. 

That pic is the one that started my thinking. That is what got me reflecting. That is what got me motivated and tomorrow that is the pic that is going to be sticking in my head as I push myself past my comfort zone.

Next month I will come back with results, just you wait and see.

Sorry this isn't longer but it has been a long day and I am tired.

Dear God, Thank You for today. Thank you for all the wonderful people in my life. Please be with my Great Auntie and her family as they grieve the loss of my Great Uncle Jim. In your name we pray. Amen
