I knew that on the day I lost 30 lbs that I was going to SHARE it. It has been a goal for me to get my weight in check and get healthy. Today I visited my doctors office and was just going through the motions. I have only lost about 2 pounds since I came home from CHA. Yes, it's called a THREE week PLATEAU. I did everything. I kept 100% to my program- did not cheat and yes, decided to keep going no matter what. I knew that EVENTUALLY my weight loss would once again start. I weighed the EXACT SAME weight day after day. It was frustrating but I knew that my body was just trying to adjust. I kept to my course because it is important to me.
Today was 11 weeks. I am learning that you have to work hard for what you want. If you really want something YOU have to put forth the effort. I was using so many excuses- you travel all the time, you are too busy- just drive and buy fast food, etc. Well, I learned I did not personally WANT it enough. I do have TIME when I make TIME. Don't we make time for things that are important? Aren't we worth it????
I am not even sure what I should weigh or how much I want to lose. I honestly am doing this DAY BY DAY. I will know when I need to shift into maintanence. YES, the HARDEST part. I know that it will be a daily battle. Drats...I love food. I have to really watch my portion control.
I believe having support was KEY for me. I needed help. I went to a center in SLC called LITEHOUSE HEALTH. I worked with LINDA who is amazing. I met with her and discussed each week my "emotional" feelings. They held my hand and walked me through it. Each week I had a consulation, weigh in (cool machine that tells you your weight, body fat and hydration levels!). Then I do exerices for 30 minutes with oxygen. I then go into a REALLY hot sauna for 20 minutes and let me tell you I am SWEATING. Then the last hour is a body wrap. It's like the TREAT for the week. The encouragement is THERE- they call me each week to chat and check on me. In all honesty, I needed the structure. However, I eat REAL food- nothing processed, no bars, no pre-packaged anything. I do write down EVERYTHING that I eat in my big binder. If I eat it- I am accountable. If your in UTAH and want more info about my program- email me at teresa@teresacollinsdesigns.com. I am not in any way gaining from endorsing them. ha! I am just saying this WORKED for me...is working for me.
Okay-fun announcement on my blog tomorrow morning. AND....I am meeting with my friends at Provo Craft about something SUPER COOL tomorrow too. Big day.
Time to make dinner for the family- Taylor is coming over too. I love this!
