La La Land Mommy: My Fitness Update & Learning
I’m back with my latest fitness update. I am actually happy to write this one. I still have a lot to work on but I am trying to learn to accept the small victories. I am so hard on myself when things don’t go the way I want them to or the way I think they should. So I am trying to work on not being that way but of course as many of you know that old habits are hard to change. So I’m going to start with the victories first.
Victories:
– I have lost 4 pounds. Yay! I am no longer 166. I’m now 162.
– I am not as hungry as I was before. I guess my body is adjusting to me doing more activity.
– I went to Mcdonald’s (I know this food so isn’t good for me but I like it every once in a while.). I usually refill my cup multiple times. I had one cup of sweet tea and when I went back for a refill I got water instead.
– I for most of the week have been maintaining my calories pretty good. I think I went over even beyond the calories I earned doing exercise maybe 2 times.
Note: I do not eat fast food often. Since I’m home during the week I usually eat at home. I mainly only eat out on the weekends.
Now time for the negatives.
-I didn’t do any workouts besides walking to get my daughter twice last week.
-If I don’t eat breakfast or any meal I find myself snacking more so I have to make sure I eat when I need to.
-Sometimes my laziness causes me to not workout so I have to do better in forcing myself to workout.
I am really excited at my progress. I can’t wait to see what I have to write about next week.
Good for you for your weight loss journey! I need to take the step and loss some weight myself. I have been holding back big time due to my busy schedule but I need to include exercising and eating better. Keep up the good work girl!

Congratulations on the 4 lbs! That is wonderful. Keep up the good work!
I do better when I eat breakfast, too. Chocolate milk actually helps me curb my cravings for sweets.

Good for you! I learned the hard way that small victories are the best victories. If you’re always looking to loose 5 pounds in a week, you’re going to get frustrated when you only loose 2. Good job!

Congrats on the progress! It’s always great to remember that even small victories are still victories!
4 pounds is definitely a successful week in my book! Snacking and sweet tea are definitely two of my biggest struggles, so brava to you for working on making small changes!

You hand in there. You are doing great!
Small victories are better than no victories at all! That’s what I have always believed!

Congratulations on the progress. I agree it is important to reward yourself with a treat once in a while. Keep up the hard work.
Great job with the little victories. Making any kind of progress is great. I’ve been way off this week, so I gained again.

This is a great post. The best way to stick to anything is to embrace the small victories and not worry so much about the larger war.

Kudos to you on some great choices! I opted for seconds at lunch yesterday. On water!
They always say slow and steady wins the race. It is a lifestyle change and it does take time. The good thing is you are learning to listen to your body and you are seeing patterns. I need a good swift kick in the butt for workouts too!

Keep that positive attitude and taking things one step at a time! Slow and steady is the healthy way to change your lifestyle so that you don’t just revert to old ways. 🙂

Congrats! To me losing 4 pounds is a huge victory!!! I will also be focusing on losing some weight – Monday is my start date – I need to go shopping and plan my meals & snacks.
4 lbs is something to celebrate! Way to go!
Good for you! It is so hard to lose weight. I believe it is more important to focus on being healthy than to focus on the number. Keep it up!

I struggle with some of the same things. One thing that is helping me is green smoothie shakes in the morning. They are so yummy and help me be sure to get all my vitamins and keeps me full most of the day! Love them!
Congratulations to your workout progress. 🙂 Keep it up! Looking good!

With working out and weight loss, it really is about the small victories! Every baby step counts!
Aw. Keep up the good work!!!
I just went to the doctor yesterday and realized I had put on some weight. UGH.
I’ve had a hard time being motivated lately so I need to get myself back up to speed with regular exercising.
Your post was very encouraging!!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by my blog!
Small victories are the best! I’m finding it difficult to stick to a fitness routine, but your post inspired me so I might just start exercising again. Thanks for sharing.
