2 months into this weight-loss + health journey and the struggle and challenges have fully kicked in…
Honestly, i’m not here to say that Februarys’ goal was met, because it wasn’t, and It wasn’t even the fact that I was getting tired of eating the same foods over and over, because that wasn’t it either. In fact, it was quite the opposite. We were making new recipes and everything, but the simple matter was, we were eating out a lot! Pretty much what was happening, was the weekdays for the most part, were eating healthy and eating low-carb meals; then comes the weekend and we splurged and ate out a lot.
Obviously, that way isn’t working for us. So, we are back to eating healthy and low carb 90% of the time and only having “high carb” days.. also known as our cheat meals whenever we have a family gathering/holiday/bday/etc. That seems to work best for us. So, that is what I’m going back to doing.
With it now being March, we don’t really have much plans for this month other than our date night and Melia’s 10th birthday (still in shock that I will have a 10 year old), so I’m really trying to focus on making those 2 days my cheat meals for the month. Not seeing myself hit the 5 pound goal for February, really struck me but of course didn’t surprise me. I’m really wanting this year to be a year focused on me, my health, and my physical struggles such as skin care and loss of hair. Of course as I am getting older, newer things are happening as well. I’ve recently been experiencing within the last couple of days.. me getting really cold. Now, I’m not one to get/be cold… especially my feet! Now, I’m such a baby! I’m cold all the time, I wear socks (btw I hate socks), and got the heater on blasting because I’m so cold. So obviously, that’s another health issue in itself (probably not taking vitamins enough), but I swear it’s always something new and it’s something I don’t want to ignore.
I know some months are going to be easier than others, and February was a month of not staying on track and losing focus on the end goal…. so here’s to March of staying focused and hitting my goal of 5 pounds for March. I know some of you may be reading this and rolling your eyes at me. Trust me, I get it. Losing weight is HARD! There is nothing easy about it. But, I keep telling myself, as long as I don’t give up… i’m on the right track. Right?! I also want to start incorporating working out a bit more, whether it be riding bikes with the girls, or walking the park… at least some type of movement going on. Another goal for March, is drinking more water. I have THE HARDEST time keeping up with my water intake, and I KNOW it’s one of the biggest things when it comes to self care! So, I definitely got a lot to focus on this month.
Alright, just because I didn’t do great last month, doesn’t mean I’m going to skip out on weigh-in. I want to do this so I can track my progress and prove to myself that I got this and I can do it.
So here it is… let’s start of with our 1 month weigh in.
January
Starting date: 1/3/2021
Starting Weight: 306.4

February
Starting Weight: 306.4
Starting Date: 1/3/2021
Goal to lose: 10 pounds

Total loss so far: 10 pounds
Well there you have it. I was actually surprised that I didn’t gain all my weight back… not saying that I can continue to eat like shit, because I know I can’t, but I with me not stepping on a scale, I really did think I gained it all back. So, I am honestly shocked at what the scale says. However, even though I only gained 1 pounds, its still a gain and not a loss. So, I’m going to work extra hard this month, stay focused and lose 5 pounds!
Stay tuned for next months update…
