As I reflect on month two, I have determined that my
nutrition program has gotten substantially easier. Most of my crazy sugar, gluten, dairy, and junk cravings
have subsided. I find it easier to
select healthy, nutritious foods and pass on those I would regret eating. In fact, sometimes I crave green
beans. Don’t get me wrong, I still
have my moments. If someone
dropped off chocolate chip cookies on my doorstep, I would probably eat all of
them in one sitting. (Don’t even
think about it Rebecca!)
As an aside, this month I decided to give up peanut butter,
dried apricots, and raisins. Each
one was having a negative affect on my stomach. The hardest to say good-bye to was peanut butter. Tear!
My physical training program, on the other hand, has gotten
harder. This isn’t a bad thing,
and is completely intentional. I
am pushing myself harder and trying to achieve personal records each time I hit
the gym. If I have a bad day in
the gym, I acknowledge that it sucked and I move on. I don’t beat myself up over it. Everyone has bad days.
People always ask about my weight loss, so here it is. I have lost more weight this month than I did last month. Although I still have a bit of a new mommy tummy, my pre-pregnancy clothes F-I-T. I feel like I am going shopping every time I step into my closet. Euphoria! More importantly, my husband told me he thinks I look fitter now than I did BEFORE I got pregnant with our son. I am not sure any compliment could top that!
The bottom line is this, what I am doing is working for
me. It is hard and tedious and
requires a lot of planning and diligence, but it works. I am super excited to see how I feel in
302 days.
