This week wasn’t much more productive than last. It’s the same old song and dance with the weight. It seems every week I go up then the next week I come down. I was looking at my food/exercise journal from the summer and I realize that I was doing a lot of walking and that really got my heart pumping. I need to get myself in gear and do way more cardio than I have in the last two months or this weight is not going to come off.  I still have four weeks until Christmas. Maybe I can lose ten pounds by then. I’m going to really try! I’ve got to get focused and not let anything (or anyone for that matter) get in my way. I’m doing this for me and I’ve come too far to ever  go back!

Another week down. I slipped a little with my eating. I ate at McDonalds for the first time in what feels like forever and my body did not like it! I won’t be doing that again anytime soon that’s for sure.

I don’t know if it’s the change of the seasons and the fact that its getting dark super early now or what’s going on, but I’m starting to lose my motivation in exercising and eating right. Living a healthy livestyle is harder than I thought. Everyday is a struggle for me. I hear about people who lose a lot of weight and I wonder, what keeps them motivated? One of my greatest fears is that I will lose motivation all together and gain weight.

Ok, so last week I had oral surgery and let me tell you what…recovery has been slow and very painful. It was probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had.  I was in excruciating pain every day and waking up in the middle of the night every night with a painful swollen face didn’t give me much sleep or energy to do anything.

I worked out with my trainers last week twice, but I could only manage to walk on my own once this week. On the plus side of all this? I did manage to lose two more pounds! I’m looking forward to a great week!

This week was bitter sweet. I finally lost 2 pounds, but I didn’t exercise very much. I had my wisdom tooth pulled and it hurt so bad I didn’t feel like doing anything.  I did walk a little but I didn’t do much of anything else this week. I know I will be feeling it next week.
