Day 10: Getting rid of this weight and eating right rambling.

Today is day 10 of eating right and p90x. In the first 7 days I lost 5.8lbs. I am a day behind, because of some terrible back spasms that I had yesterday and couldn't do much at all. I've only had those happen about 3 times in my whole life, strange. The other night was so nice, so warm and Matt also had the night off. So what better then go for a walk or two. :) I love just walking and talking. We walked a mile in a half, then came home did p90x then after dark we went again and did another 3 miles. It just feels so much better on your body eating right and working out on a steady normal routine. I know I'm only 6lbs down, but there are many, many more to come! I am ready for change! I get quite antsy that this takes time to achieve, but I have to know that it will come with time and habit. And with that, I have to just give it my all, my very best and relax and enjoy the journey!

On the way to the new me.

Today's the fourth day. I can tell that I'm going to get some really good results from these changes. It's nothing short of tough; nothing short from challenging. But that's what gets you places, when you challenge yourself. You get growth if you don't give up. You have to stand up sometimes and say, ''I'm tired of where I'm at and I just don't care anymore, I have to make changes." And nothing else comes close in comparison when you're headed to your goals. When it gets tough you reach down inside, you dig if you need to and pull out what it takes to get you through; through the changes and all. I know I'm getting stronger with each day but I kind of want to just scream when 6am rolls around, lol. Day one was pretty miserable but in a good kind of way, if that makes sense. Like you're being tortured, but you secretly love every bit of it. ;) I enjoy pushing myself for once.. hopefully I can just enjoy it more in other areas too! I was really dreading P90X but now that I've started it, I'm in love. I know.. It's a twisted love, but it's our love. ;) Teeheehe. I feel so amazing after cutting out soda and sugar. I know cold turkey wasn't how I wanted to do it, but that's just my flesh desire talking. I love bubbly drinks, so therefor I love the way it feels drinking soda. I have not the slightest idea why, I just do. I know it's for the best. I knew I would feel so much better eating all healthy and cutting out all the sugary, processed, fatty--bad for you foods. Because I haven't always eaten crap. It's more so that it is so convenient to just grab something on the go. I lie, it's really only more 'easy' if you think about it. It's just as quick to whip up a healthy lunch really. Tuna/chicken wrap in lettuce with fat free cottage cheese? Or just a salad and a piece of fruit that literally takes 3 minutes to throw together in a to-go container and give it a shaking to mix it all up if desired? Even cooking supper only takes 13 minutes if you have your fish or meat pre-thawed. Which I know it's so terribly hard to take it from the freezer and set it into the fridge the day before.. then take it out 30 minutes before you plan to cook it. (Give or take on the time out) So hard, right? Yeah.. not so much so. Anyways healthy new eating plan is going great! At first it was challenging to figure out how to cook things without butter or oil, but you research and you learn and I've found some great substitutes so far! I'm loving this! I have so much more vibrant energy. I just feel so much better inside. I can tell the difference so much that it is honestly really scary what we all put in our bodies. That alone prompted me to change my junk food ways. It's been brutal, my whole body is feeling it each day so far, the worse part is feeling the pain and burn in my thighs when using the toilet. Meh. Haha. Overall it's really not just a physical thing and a heart thing, it's very much so a mind thing too. You have to redo all your routines, thought patterns and desires in your head. You have to beat yourself into submission. You that know the bible will understand what part I'm pulling that from. It is a renewal, a transformation of me if you will.
