being held accountable

So as you know I'm on this journey to lose this weight. When I first started I told myself I would reveal my starting weight once I reached my target goal. However, I think I may be ready to reveal that starting weight much sooner. I've been working my ass off these last two weeks off, and to see the pounds come off that scale is one of the greatest feelings ever. I've really been watching what goes into my mouth, and I've started to become used to making healthy food choices. It's really not that difficult if you really just put your mind to it, and I think it makes it easier when I'm not depriving myself of a whole lot. I just tend to make the healthier choice between two things. For example, if I"m out having a sandwich and I want chips I go for the baked one's over the regular. Little stuff like that can go a long way in a year. It's gone a long way in 2 weeks! My workouts have been going awesome too. I feel so out of it if I dont get my ass up in the morning and do my workout. I've been doing both the shred and boost your metabolism workouts on Tues, Thurs, and Sat. On Mon, Wed, and Fri. I just do the shred. I try and take Sundays off to let my body relax, but I think I'm going to start making sure I get a nice 30 min. walk in on Sundays. I can already see my body taking on a different shape. There is a loonnng way to go still, but I know that if I stick to my plan and keep my eye on the prize I will reach my goal of losing 50lbs by the end of the year.

The final stats for week 2 is that I lost another 2lbs, and an inch off my waist. I definitely hit a plateau this week, but that's okay. My goal is to lose 2lbs a week, and anything more is a gift. I'll keep working hard at this everyday! Right now it's one of the few things I have control over, and I dont want to ruin it.

I just need to note that I miss Gabe more and more each day. The pain has become easier to deal with, but I miss him so so so much.
