Looking Forward to Tomorrow

Yep, I was good this week. And when I exercise every day (going on week 6 of daily exercise, now) I feel good about my weigh-ins. In fact, I've only had two weeks when I wasn't super-confident about my weight loss, and those weeks I've either gained half a pound or flatlined. This is a really big deal for me, for those who don't know about my up-down-up-down track record.

I love that I feel confident almost every week now, and I will soon be to the point where I expect a loss every single week. Wooooohooooo for exercise.

I must say, though, that skipping the fast food/any meals in a restaurant has vastly helped me keep my food points under control. It's hard to lose a point... I am now eating roughly 200 Calories fewer per day than I did when I began my lifestyle change. That's 1400 Calories per week! That's a whole day's worth of food per week that I don't eat any longer simply because I made the choice to change my life. Fast food was not helping my lifestyle change cause. I could easily devour 1500 Calories in one meal, feel gross, and then be hungry again a few hours later. Ick.

If you told me a year ago that I would finally buckle down and make sincere, healthy choices for myself in one year's time, I would have said you were a damn liar. If you told me I would eat broccoli and cauliflower as snacks on the weekends, the thought alone would floor me. I could never imagine myself as one of those "health nuts."

I guess it's just like Jillian said, "You just have to change your mind."

Well, my mind's made up. I know I'm not going to have trouble with this coming holiday season because I am confident in myself. I deserve to be healthy and feel good about myself. Besides, I've learned that Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's are holidays, not holimonths.

Looking back on this post it was long, rambling, and a little off the subject of me looking forward to my weigh-in tomorrow, but whatever. I love this blog and being able to look back on my thoughts as I go through this metamorphosis in my life, and if it's random, then, I guess I'm feeling random.

Anyway, everyone have a truly random weekend :) I'll check in tomorrow with the good news on my loss.
