Losing It Week 15
I was so excited to weigh this morning because I have exercised THREE times this week. I also controlled my eating pretty well, although I could have done better. I didn’t update last week because you-know-what was here and was adding several pounds to my weight. Well, the residual effects are still here from you-know-what since I weighed in FOUR pounds heavier that my last weight. It was quite discouraging to see that number but I feel confident I can lose those four pounds.
It’s been so hard to get back into the good groove I was in before. I’ve had to just set my mind and DO IT. I try not to over think the exercise thing. I grab my sneakers and water and set the elliptical for 30 minutes. I tell myself it’s just thirty minutes and that there’s nothing that can’t wait for thirty minutes while I exercise. The phone, the house, the kids, even potty training! And even though some days I get on kicking and screaming I feel SO GOOD afterward!
I definitely think I can stand to cut back even more with my eating. I don’t have any desserts in the house right now but I’m pretty sure my portions with everything else have been larger than they need to be.
What really got to me motivated me the other day was that while I was exercising I was watching VH1’s “40 Most Slimmed Down Celebrities”. The commentators would talk about how so and so had really let themselves go once they became a mom. Marie Osmond was one of them. {Insert sarcasm} Oh my GOODNESS…she got to 165 lb!!! She lost all that weight and went from a size 12 (yes TWELVE) to a size 2.
Yay for her. Geez.
It’s great that she lost weight and feels good about herself. But a size 12 wasn’t that huge to begin with! I could see it if she was an 18 and went to an 8. But getting to a size 2 is unrealistic for most women, in my opinion.
The other actress was Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) and she is 5′3 (two inches taller than me) and she got to the gross, disgusting weight of 156 pounds.
Wow.
I can’t wait to be 156 pounds again. I don’t want to stay there ,either, but that would be great progress for me.
By Hollywood standards I’m pretty disgusting.
But, what does Hollywood know, right??
