NSVs....the ONLY thing I can celebrate right now!!!
Ok...the month of August is almost over. I go in for my next fill on the 31st. I'm not sure if they will give it to me as I still am having some vomitting issues, and having a hard time eating some proteins.
The scale has been CRUEL this month--NOT one solid pound of weight loss so far--and I am really fighting discouragment right now. So...I'm going to focus on the positives.
Non-Scale Victories in AUGUST!!!!
1) I have been extremely consistent with excercising first thing in the morning ALL MONTH long. I've been hitting the gym between 5:00 and 5:30 and getting at least an hour to an hour and a half each morning. Only missed a few days. I've been really pushing myself--doing interval training on cardio and lifting weights at least 3 times/week. I really am excited that I've "left it all at the gym" and didn't hold back with my intensity. I've avoided looking in the mirrors at the gym for SOOOO long--well, I got a peek this morning and it really wasn't too bad. My body is really starting to shape up!
2) I'm on blood pressure medicine. Even with the medicine, on July 25th when I went to my doctor's appt it was 160/92. I went to CVS the other day just to check it b/c I've been feeling alot better....it is 118/78!!!!!!!!!
3) I'm wearing a size 12 dress pants today! Still a little tight, but it's something I couldn't have worn a month ago at the same weight.
4)I'm going to VA Beach tonight...and for the first time in a long time...I'm not dreading wearing a swimsuit or having the camera there taking pictures of our time. Now---I know my body's not where it needs to be---but I'm on my way.
5) I'm tracking again...my calories in and out. That isn't something I WANT to do...and someday, hopefully, I won't have to do it...but I want this bad enough. It is a small price to pay.
