I had a goal to not only run a 5K but to see what would happen if I stopped focusing on dieting and just learned how to eat normally and exercise consistently. I'm happy to report that I also had success in this area. To date I have lost 23 pounds.
I said in an earlier post that I was going to focus on looking forward and never look back. My attempts at eating better have had highs and lows. I've overeaten, underexercised and done everything in between. I never gave up the things I love like chocolate, ice cream or pizza. I just started eating a little less at each meal and got myself to the gym on a regular basis.
The scale has been stuck many times. It is right now. But no matter if I regain a pound or two or lose nothing for 3 weeks, I always look forward. I'm 23 pounds closer to my goal and 23 pounds lighter than I used to be. I have my eye on the prize and know that next year at this time I will will have accomplished this goal as well.
