Let me tell you about my relationship with sugar now. So..yesterday..I was making a sweet item (cake pops) for my sisters baby shower, and the smell..just lingered me in....I was just drooling over it as I was making it. After I made the pops, I wanted to try one, before I started decorating them, I wanted to make sure they tasted good! That one bite alone, about made me get sick! It was soooo sweet! TOO sweet actually (i never thought I would say that!) As I was decorating them, (which took a lil over an hour may I add) I felt nauseous. That sweet smell of bakes goods that once made me drool, made me want to vomit! My stomach was def. turning the rest of the time dealing with these cake pops! That was a shocker to me.....yet very satisfying at the same time!! GO ME!!! "Hello, I am Christy, and I am NO LONGER a SUGAR ADDICT!"
About my workout! I started getting up at least every other day, to work out, rather it be running on the treadmill for 25 minutes, then lifting weights, or doing Insanity workout (beachbody) Yesterday, I worked out with Sean T from Insanity! I took the fitness test that he wants you to take at the beginning and at the end of each 30 days. WOW! I must tell ya....that fitness test alone about killed me! but, I def. felt like it was a great cadio workout! That's what I like to feel at the end of my workout! I wanna be sweating! Today, I am very sore, so I will take it easy...maybe play on the wii (just dance 2) with my son.
BTW, when I woke up this morning, I decided to weight myself (cause I do not FEEL like I have lost weight, and nor do I think I look like I have, which in many ways can be disappointing... but I am determined to stay on track! To my surprised when I stepped on the scale, it read that I was down by 2 lbs! I was super excited. 7 more lbs and I am out of the 2 HUNDO!! WHOO HOOOO!!!!! Something that I am learning on this weight loss journey is "You have to do what works for YOU!" You know, at first when I started this, I thought..."I am going to follow this book to a T (the 17 day diet) and I will lose all my weight.", But it was torturous to me! Many items that I LOVE that are NOT bad for me, I was not able to eat. (i hated that) and with dieting...you have to make it a journey to a healthy YOU that YOU will stick to, because IT IS a LIFE STYLE change. I can't eat a certain way or a few months...lose my weight, then go back to eating how I was before and think that I am going to stay thin, because eating UNHEALTHY is what has gotten me to this point. It goes the same with working out. Being that I am a stay at home mom, I do not get as much as exercise as I should, so I need to do SOMETHING to get me moving, and I won't Do that SOMETHING unless its something that I enjoy doing, or even feel like I could handle. So, I am slowly finding that SOMETHING that is working for me, and it makes me pretty damn HAPPY! TGIF everybody! Have a great weekend!!
