These are my feelings today I posted on Facebook:
Sometimes trying to live a healthy lifestyle feels really hard. Birthday weeks are like that. But I don't want to turn back. I want to get to the point where its easier and I don't have to flex my willpower quite so often. But i'm making progress. We went to Chuck-a-rama tonight for James birthday and I didn't gorge myself. Or eat 3 desserts. Tomorrow is the pizza and cake party. I will definitely need to practice my will power then. But I've already planned out my day for tomorrow to help me stay on track. I don't expect perfection from myself. Just progress. I am strong. I am healthy. I am a roll model for my children and family. I have jeans to fit in, beaches to enjoy, hills and miles to conquer. Those are more important than a slice of cake.
Its true. Sometimes doing things the healthy way is hard. But its worth it. I'm feeling better and better every day. I'm proud of myself and my body. I'm pushing myself to limits I didn't know I could. Its worth it. Here are my progress pictures from this week. Week 1 with my goal jean, and this week, Week 3 with my goal jeans. I definitely see and feel a difference. I only lost 1.6 pounds in March, but i'm leaning up, and I have more muscle. Here's to April!
