Reached my Goal! :)

Thursday, July 26, 2012

Last time I blogged was in February. Time sure does fly! I am happy to share with you that I reached my goal (about two weeks ago)... total loss of 12 lbs! I may go for another 5 lbs. I am ecstatic cause i was able to fit in my size 6 jeans and other clothing that would not fit before! People have noticed too! I can see it in my face and in some recent pics taken. woo hoo! When i started with weight watchers I did lose 10 lbs within a few months but it took awhile to actually lose another two! This journey was an up and down hill. Did i get discouraged a few times? Of course but i kept on going. I learned to choose wisely and watch my portions. Plus 99% of the time I drink water! When I've eaten my biggest meal of the day (dinner), I decide ahead of time how much i am eating and not to go for seconds. When I have gone for seconds, minutes later I feel my stomach full. A fullness saying... "you should have stopped when i told you. There was no need to eat more!" lol... I still have a belly and a little bit of a top muffin (which I am able to hide well with certain styles!) I will continue to walk but i probably should include some weight-lifting, cardio, different exercises so as not to get bored. I have been reading some articles online on how to get rid of belly fat. If anyone can share of anything that worked for them, pass it along! :) Thank you and I hope all of you are doing well. :)

The only belly removal advice I ever read was from a person who used kettle bells after her c-section. I tend to believe that it is hard to target specific fat locations, it is really up to your body to decide where to remove the calorie deficit we create. But focussing the toning couldn't hurt.
