It's officially been three weeks since I started my new lifestyle changes and I must say I am pretty happy with how things are going so far. The first few weeks are kind of a toss up cause people don't always see results right away and that can be discouraging. I think part of the reason i'm seeing pretty good results already is because i'm breastfeeding so even if I don't get a workout in, i'm still automatically burning 300-500 calories a day.
I weigh myself often when i'm trying to loose weight and that is just a personal preference. I know for some that can be counter productive but for me it really motivates me to keep going or to do better.
I started day one at 167 pounds and this morning I weighed in at 159. (Yay for being in the 150s!)
So far the day to day changes have been fairly easy. The part that is the hardest for me is simply looking into the future and realizing how long I have to sustain this lifestyle in order to reach the goals that I have. It's kinda like, "Wow, I did so good today! I ate really healthy and got in a really good workout.....but wait...I have to do this tomorrow, and the next day, and every day after that if I want to lose this weight...."
That's just a little daunting, and I honestly have no idea how long to expect this to take.
So I really have had to just take it one day at a time. One decision at a time.
