So I have officially completed the first day of exercising and dieting. It wasn't too horrific, although my hour recovery time on the living room floor was something left to be desired (did you know cats take advantage of you at your weakest and crawl all over you for attention?)
I stayed up till about 0800 hours this morning after spending over an hour grocery shopping at the Wegman's and organizing everything. I then proceeded to cook all the days food, and pack Matt his meals for the day (Matt was working some overtime today). By the way, now I know why a high percentage of the U.S. is so overweight, it is by far waaaay cheaper to eat less healthy, processed foods then it is to eat natural and healthy foods. So far no issue with the food, its all healthy stuff I should be eating anyways, its just hard to get used to eating a ton of veggies, they are the most disgusting creation on earth, no lie. I sat there, and had to count a bunch of celery and carrots out for my day, since I pretty much wont eat any other vegetable. Its kind of sad. Matt is cursing the creator of rice cakes publicly on Facebook, so I'm guessing he's not as big of a fan.
As I'm sitting here I am looking around and trying to figure out how to attach my photos to this thing. I thought it would be more self explanatory. I keep deleting my blog accidentally. Ugh, to sit here and look at these photos, I have to wonder to myself. How did I get to this point? Well, I do know the answer, its just sad to see my body the way it is. Hopefully that will change as the weeks go by.
I find this photo especially depressing, as I look like a freaking pear. Not only that, but my hair is not cooperating....
The support from everyone has been overwhelming. Many people are shocked and surprised that I am posting everything and holding nothing back. I guess the best way is just to say, I'm purposely embarrassing myself. I don't want to come back to this point.
I mean this is truly saddening. Although my belly is truly not bigger then my boobs (I have 3 sports bras on) its still sad to see it.
So here as my photos. I am not by any means baring all. I am showing my shape, my size, and my skin. It is my hopes in the coming months that I lose a lot of this weight, flatten my stomach some, and just tone my body to an acceptable level to me.
I think the bigger challenges that I am going to be experiencing is going to be on the days that I am working. Its going to be harder to prepare the meals, and get in the hour of exercise that is needed to keep this up.
Till next blog... thank you all my readers. Thank you all for the support. Whoever wants to join us is welcome :o)
Good luck. I need to do this too.
ReplyDeleteI tried a chocolate cake cooked with zucchini in it. It was great if you want Ill get you the recipe, as a healthy yet helpful snack
Keep it going! I've started a diet/lifestyle change as of October 1 myself!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right Dani, that is embarrassing. I mean look at that hair, I'd be mortified... BTW how'd the public market shopping do this morning??
