Well, after last night's cardio training session and a very clean food day, I woke up this morning to a major turning point: I broke 250 pounds!!! And not just by ounces - the scale showed 246.6! The excitement of busting through a three year 'plateau' carried through my whole day and I used that motivation to complete two fitness classes tonight: an hour of Zumba Core and an hour of RIPPED Advanced.
I think I have finally hit my stride with food and fitness, I am at a point in my journey - 5 weeks in - that really feels like changes in my brain, in my body and in my lifestyle are being solidified, forming new habits and processes. I am noticing a difference in my self-talk (that little voice in my head) it is significantly more in-the-moment; planning ahead - making conscious decisions. I have a strong feeling of awareness, something I didn't even realize I was lacking. For so many years now I have allowed myself to ignore and ultimately shut off the part of my brain that lived in the moment when it came to food and fitness. I never planned ahead, I never weighed the pros & cons of my decisions, I never allowed myself to give real thought to what I was doing to myself. I ate whatever I wanted, however much I wanted, whenever I wanted with total disregard to the consequences and outcomes.
I'm seeing tangible progress now and that is fueling me to continue, to stay focused and to remember my goal - pregnancy and motherhood. One day at a time, one conscious decision after another!
