Iron mind I weld with time to rebuild myself

Second weigh in today..

I’VE LOST 10.8 POUNDS SO FAR THIS MONTH! Not to mention 2% body fat.

I can’t begin to describe how absolutely elated I am with my progress. Every pound I lose makes me feel that more confident that I can actually do this. That I can actually achieve my goals. To celebrate, I treated myself to a nice new nail polish.

I’ve started setting realistic goals for myself, 10 pounds a month. I’ve already surpassed that, so my eye of the tiger is gunning for 15. Try and stop me.

Tomorrow I plan on going back to the gym. I’m going to get back to doing cardio 30 minutes a day, five days a week. I’m not exactly sure if this will assist me in dropping pounds, but I know it makes me feel good. I’m not allowed (per my doctor’s orders) to start working out yet, but when I can I’m going to put the Promise up in the head phones and I’m going to give it everything I have.

Any friends I have that want to help me with this journey (corny, but that’s what it is), are more than welcome. I could always use someone to go to the gym with or go on walks with. Or even just someone to talk to. This kind of thing is super emotional and really hard at times. When you’re around people that are eating things that you want to be eating and you can’t, it turns you into a crabby bitch every once in awhile. It’s hard to remind yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing in the first place. Emotional support is definitely going to be important the further I get into my weight loss. I need to keep my friends closer and start strengthening those bonds, they’re more important than any slice of delicious cheese pizza (and a can of Coke) could ever be.
