3. consistency in exercise and eating

Yayyy! Usually by now Ive quit and am gaining back what I just lost, in a slump, no motivation, feeling yucky, etc etc etc. This time I feel like its working! Its tough..but its working! I DO have to work ALOT thistime then I did the first..but none the less..it ISSSS working! I'll take that! Im feeling pumped, happy, successful, and strong!

Dear Good Feelings,
Please dont go away!
Love, Brandy :)

Ok so lets keep up what was working here...goal setting! I still have my 20 lb goal by Jan 1st, which Im well on my way to. I had actually reset my ticker and goals to lose 20 by Dec 7th now. If I can push myself to meet that..great! If not tho..Ill stick to my Jan 1st goal and be happy! I gave myself extra room for error when I initially set that, and it seemed to impossible at the time because I had been trying to hit 10 lbs for the last 16 months...and failing! Now like I said..Im at 12..and going strong!

I did better tracking this week like I said, and I woke up early 2 days to walk. The other 2 days wasnt posssible, so Im proud to say I pushed myself to do what I hated...indoor aerobics! I did a 3 mile WATP one day and a Tae Bo the other. So Im sticking to my plan of 30 mins minimum, 4 times a week exercise. Most times tho Im doing 40-50 tho..bonus! I dont want to push myself too fast in that area cuz then I get tired and back out of it completely. I see what others do in my challenge for exercise and often compare myself..but thats where I get in trouble! They have also lost a ton more weight then me and have been consistant alot longer! So I got to keep reminding myself to not compare..I will get there when "Im" ready! I also did do a little more strength training this week. Not as much as Id like..but more then I was..so!

Goals this week:
Track! (atleast 5 full days!)
Exercise! (4 days, 40 mins)
Strength! (2 days, 20 mins)
Motivation! (keep it strong!)

Week 6......come and get me!!!!!
