Losing Weight: Each time is Different
The first time, I lost a little weight was 2006. I lost it primarily walking five miles a day. For an undocumented duration and gain it all back due lack of motivation/lack of reward. (I didn't get what I wanted.)
The second time I lost weight was 2011. I lost it walking outdoors, exercising in the gym, lifting weights, and doing exercise programs like P90X and Insanity. It took an entire year to lose 48 pounds change my outlook on things only to gain it all back after keeping it off for 5 years. Again, lack of motivation/lack of reward. (I didn't get what I wanted.)
The third time, is currently going on. I do not have a motivating factor or reward in mind this time. However, I did tell someone close to me I was going to lose weight. So am I doing it to please them or me? I have been slowly trying to determine my why. I am currently dancing between I want change my body shape. Like my arms have always been huge since my early twenties after the depo shot. I always want to be healthier and dodge some of the health problems that is plaguing everyone.
I cannot seem to totally buy in like when I was doing to attain a goal or person. Crazy isn't it? Like those last two reasons aren't enough. I am slowly trying to remove some of the bad habits I have incorporated into my life. I like wine, beer, and cheese. I have decrease water drastically in the last two years. So, I am trying to add that back into life. I have an app that dings when its time to drink water. I love fast food and I even named myself the fast food queen years ago. But now I want to be a wife and mother so I gotta let go of this self proclaimed title. I want to be a healthy woman that looks healthy and is healthy mentally and physically. So on this third time. I am just moving more 10K is the goal per day, gym time, eat more salads, and drink more water.
I will start the programs soon enough to get back totally conditioned! Wish me luck.
