Motivation is everything!

Good Morning Monday! Well it is today anyway. The last few weeks have been up and down for me. Or should I say up, up and down. The last week of April I gained a pound. I can live with that. However, the first week into May was crazy and I didn't know if I was coming or going. It is very easy to fall back on old habits. I had even ordered in a pizza one night. And those of you who know me well. I don't even do pizza! lol. But that's OK. This past week I knew I had to commit and really stay focused.

It was a good week. I kept my calorie intake to about 1200 calories everyday. Except Saturday. I had a birthday party to attend and did enjoy food and drinks. But I made sure to have salad and fish before going. That way I was not going to fill myself with all the wonderful large calorie foods that were there. I did have a little sliver of cake as well. That being said. I also worked out everyday this week. Cardio was 30 to 40 minutes every day and I did resistance every other day on top of the cardio. Friday evening my friend Michelle was going to work out with me but got sick. So I kept putting off the work out. I finally posted on facebook, Help! I was in need of motivation today. Thank you to my very good friend Sommer, who reminded me of our trip to the Dominican and me wanting to look awesome on that beach. My ass got up and did my workout. Now I have remembered that everyday.

It paid off. When I went in this morning to weigh in. I could hardly believe my eyes. I lost 6 pounds this week! Happy Dance!!!!!! Now, not that I am looking to loose that much every week. I just really needed to get off what I had put on and get back on track. So I am back to 38 pounds weight loss and still going. I am however, going to stick to 1200 calories a day this week, other than my one day for a BBQ and work out ever day again and see what next week brings.

Thank you again to everyone for your kind words and those of encouragement. I appreciate them from the bottom of my heart. A lot of you have been sending me messages in many different ways and it really does help me. So thank you. Until next week...have a great week!
