Operation: Bikini Bombshell

ok, so i decided to jump on the bandwagon with shanbl for a 30 day quest to eat clean. today is day 2 for me. so far, so good. halloween is tomorrow and if i stay home, i have to make sure i get rid of all the candy. for some reason, dieting makes me crave things i normally do not eat.

at any rate, i am off to a good start.

i have to keep reminding myself of this every single day. there is no miracle pill that will work overnight (or in a week)…taking baby steps will get me closer to my goal.

in the past, i would normally get discouraged when i cheat on my diet (it’s never a 1 meal thing…being bad throws me into a whirlwind of guilt that takes a few days to turn around). i would also get discouraged just looking in the mirror…if the changes were not immediately noticeable, i would quit.

but now, we have a whole new chica….well, not completely - the same chica with an attitude adjustment.

i have focused on smaller goals now instead of the amount of weight i would like to lose in total. in short, the idea is to concentrate on progression and not perfection.

finally, my order from bb.com has arrived. for some reason in the condo where i live, the mail chics refuse to deliver packages and only take them to the office. so my new device of torture arrived yesterday and i didn’t even know it.

at any rate, i refused to let anyone poke and prod me when i started working out again this fall. and using the automatic/electronic body fat thingamajig i have at home (they used it at the bally’s where i worked out in atlanta, too instead of calipers) just did not seem accurate.

i’m so excited. now, i think i can measure things a bit better and not stress out so much about that number on the scale. now, when i get the actual number, that excitement may turn my smile upside down…but i won’t let it discourage me.

ok, so it has finally happened. i wish it had happened sooner, but better late than later (or never). i no longer loathe working out. i actually look forward to it…well, not that much, but sticking to a program for the past few weeks (and seeing results) makes me want to do more (and stay on track). i still need to take some progress pics…others seem to notice more of a change in my bod than i do. but really, all i can say is…..yeaaaaaa!
