Since I am officially down 26.7 (10%) I thought I would go ahead and begin the second goal weight loss goal. I find it pretty funny that I gained 50 or so pounds after getting married. I blame nothing but myself and my stupidity to think that I could eat whatever I like regardless of how many calories or exercise that I had. Dumb me! After marriage I just let me self go, Sandro never said anything or complained. But I started to get sick all the time. I got all the way up to a size 18. I was depressed with my weight and how I felt all the time. So my next big goal is getting down to the weight I was when I got married almost two years ago. I already feel so much better at my current weight. I want to prepare my body for pregnancy since I know I will gain a lot but I don't ever want to be over 200 pounds again. So in order to meet that goal I need to lose the next 25 pounds. Then If I have the time I can focus on what I like to refer to as Vanity pounds. But those pounds aren't as important as long as I am in a healthy BMI range and I feel healthy in general.
The biggest difference in my current lifestyle is I am not depriving myself. I am not giving up anything just watching my moderation. I think losing weight has a lot to do with rewarding yourself and setting goals that are attainable. I try to have my treat day/meal once a week and on occasion I still indulge pizza or ice cream, however I don't make this as part of my daily diet. I use sparkpeople to track my intake (sometimes I get lazy here) and I make sure I workout in some fashion 3-4 times a week. Sometimes it's just walking the dog others it's training for a 5k (which I am on week 5 of 9) also making sure I do some weight training and I LOVE swimming. This weekend Sandro and I went went on a 3 hour hike (close to 7 miles) I was really exhausted after that.
