Well, I never did keep track of how many days it has been since starting despite my effort too. I just kinda forgot and realized I don't necessarily come here to write every single day.
So, let's try keeping track of weeks. Seems to me though that I haven't come that far with inch loss in these past 7 weeks. Kinda sad really. I have been working hard and improving every day with my eating and workout habits. I am thinking maybe more water is needed and my body plain has had a lot of healing to do. Sometimes it is those unseen things that are going on inside that make a difference in how you feel but not necessarily how you look right away. I am trying to keep that in mind because I feel good, really good. I feel strong and fit, I just don't see that in the mirror yet at all.
One thing I think that has really held me back with my inch loss is my sleep debt. I have been getting to bed earlier and earlier but I will find myself starting to fall asleep on the couch. I think I just went way too long sleeping so little that it is like my body is catching up on all that great healing that could have been taking place had I been sleeping enough. That is a big thing, we need sleep so badly and it is such a simple thing. I don't know how I thought it worth it to stay up so late every night for so long. Add on top of that the times the kids have woken me up every night for many years and you have one tired lady! :P
Oh well, things are moving in the right direction. Today is one week since I got my treadmill and it feels like a milestone to me. I was actually going to measure my waistline and other target areas but I couldn't find my tape measure, maybe it will turn up later.
Since getting the treadmill I have been very consistent with my working out, just check out my new list to the left. Yeah, I have even written them down. I guess I feel really proud of them and it is a boost whenever I see it now. Feels good to write down another workout, another 30 minutes on that treadmill and at the end of a week I can add up how long I worked out. Maybe I am turning into a record keeper! I could consider this blog my workout journal. :)
This week my improvements have been more sleep, more homemade food. More consistent workouts and logged 135 minutes in workouts.
