4.28.14 Day 71: 1st Day of Gamma Speed 3.0

I forgot to talk about my day yesterday in my post so I will go ahead and tell you now:)  As any of you who have started and/or finished Focus T25 know, your body begins to change drastically and you feel amazing.  I had a ridiculously large belly when I started.  As a matter of fact I have been in varying states of overweightness (my own word that I made up) for the past 12 years.  At one point I weighed as much as 176 pounds and I am only 5'2" tall so I was pretty heavy.  Anyway, when I started T25 I weighed in at 163.  I didn't get to 163 by eating celery and grilled chicken so my eating habits were quite poor.  At the start of my T25 journey I dropped 10 pounds rather quickly.  But after 3 weeks or so I hit a weight loss plateau.  I researched why I might be experiencing a plateau even though I knew it had to be my nutrition.  I really thought I was doing the best I could.  Nonetheless, after my first 10 weeks I lost a measly 15 pounds even though I worked really, really hard.

About 4 years ago I tried Weight Watchers (not for very long) and I had success for the short time that I followed the plan.  So I decided I would try going back on WW.  I started following the plan last Thursday and so far I have lost 3 pounds.  I am going to keep going with Gamma and WW and I know I will have success.  I refuse to give up!

So yesterday I was really feeling great and I decided to make friends with my clothes again.  I went through my entire closet and tried on EVERYTHING!!  I had a lot of stuff that was still too small, a lot of stuff that is too big, and very few things that fit me right now.  But the important thing was that I made friends with my clothes again.  I got rid of the bad things and washed the good things and hung them back in my closet.  I also organized my closet so my clothes will be easier to find.  One thing that prohibited me from having success with weight loss in the past was my clothes.  When you can't find anything to wear and your old, smaller clothes still don't fit you can get discouraged and just give up.  I refuse to give up.  I am using my small clothes as inspiration to make me determined.  Today I got up and did the Stretch DVD and then when I got home from work I did Speed 3.0 and it was hard but I did it and I am damn proud of myself.  Even though I am not where I want to be yet, I am a million percent better than I was yesterday and tomorrow I will be even better than I am today.  I am proud of me and that is all that matters!  I am going for it all which is what I deserve!  I hope you are doing what you deserve.  If I can do this, anyone can do this!

I DID SPEED 3.0 AND I SURVIVED AND I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!  Now this is what living is all about and I like it!
