{Buff Mama Monday} Trekking Into Steroid Muscle Guy Territory

via pinterest

Another 2lbs down this week, which brings me to 10lbs total! I’m extremely proud of myself for sticking with it this long and not just giving up after a couple weeks. I feel better, I have more energy, my clothes are fitting better. In fact, I had to buy a new pair of SMALLER jeans over the weekend because my old jeans were starting to sag. I still don’t think it is that noticeable, you can definitely see it in my face but not much elsewhere in my opinion. I still have a long road ahead of me and I have a feeling that the next 10lbs won’t come off as easily. Not that it has been easy, because it hasn’t.

I still struggle with making the right food choices on a daily basis, heck on an hourly basis. I still have to drag myself to the gym at the end of the day and force myself to run when I would much rather be sitting in front of the computer. Seeing the scale move in the right direction has been extremely motivating. I feel like I can actually do this. I might just be able to someday fit into all of those clothes hanging in my closet that I just couldn’t bare to get rid of, but are 4 sizes too small for me. I can’t thank Nutrisystem enough for helping me do this.

I’m up to running a mile straight now, every.single.day. This was my goal when I started C25K and I’m here! I haven’t ran a mile in years and now I’m doing it on a daily basis again. It feels great. While I want to eventually complete C25K, I’m going to stay here for awhile and just enjoy running for running (well, jogging for jogging). I need to add a weight training regimen to my workouts, but the free weights section can be intimidating with all of those steroid muscle looking guys tromping around. I hate new gyms and having to learn the ins and outs all over again, but I just need to suck it up and trek into steroid muscle guy territory. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes next week.
