Losing It and accepting limits

Hola party people...Holla at ur gurl!

Yesterday, I stepped on my frenemy the scale. She read 196.6. She may be my new best friend because that is 2 more lbs down. That is a total loss of 10 lbs. Milestone met and savoring the moment.

If you read this little space in the ether on Monday, you know I worked out all of 2 times last week, but my eating was on par. I am currently broken up with MyfitnessPal and am just doing my own thing. Not counting macros, not counting calories, just eating clean. Not worrying about what the scale is going to read and living life out loud.

As of today, I have worked out once - combining 2 of my runs into one last night. I rocked 3 miles and 1.25 miles of speed work. By taking time off, my endurance has gone down and I have slowed down. Progress not perfection.

I realized that I am setting the bar too high with training and strength. I cannot go from 2 workouts to 6 workouts in a week. I read a lot of blogs and I see all my ladies rockin it at the gym and I want to be that dedicated. Right now I am not, so I am not going to beat myself up. I have not started Ripped in 30. I may or may not get in 3 more runs this week, and I am okay with that.

TODAY is the DAY I stop trying to act like someone maintaining their weight, who has worked up to working out 5 - 6 days a week (and loves/hates it) and start acting like the recommitted person I am. I am going to make it and if I do not pressure myself to be perfect, than I think I can succeed. One day at a time. One step at a time. One moment at a time. CHANGE YOUR MIND CHANGE YOUR BODY!

That's it for today.

Motivate Me!

And on it goes

My life right now is filled with chaos  I know everyone hates to move, but really, there must be a better way. Just saying. Look at the pictures....this is my life this week.

I have not cooked a meal since Sunday. I usually cook something everyday for dinner at least. I have managed to make farewell to the "crappy oven cookies" though. I made Cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookies. Google that and find momofuku milk bar's recipe...no don't if your on a diet. I ate 3 in one night. That happened...... on Tuesday..... for real. I was overwhelmed with the packing. It's crazy and it is an excuse.

Back to the packing situation, I have to put my hands on everything I own in order to decide if it stays or goes. I have no problem letting it all go, I have a lot of stuff...seriously....I need to have a yard sale. First, I need a yard and that is another story all together.

I have a trunk full stuff for Goodwill. I have a house full of stuff to move still, it is kind of depressing and exciting at the same time. I am moving in with the boyfriend  so that is great, but the moving sucks. So instead of finishing for the night, I am going to show you pictures of my furry friend. She lights up my life...her name is Nico and she is a yorkipoo. Gotta love fur babies!

How'd you survive the move?
