Another milestone in this new way of life
Posted 07-04-2009 at 12:09 PM by Flaxman
After several weeks of pumping it up and treading it out, I went through some of my nice summer shirts which I bought last year and are a 3X as opposed to the 4X which have up until now, fit me best.
I bought these last summer and left the tags on them just in case. Well they are now fitting me and I have some more shirts to take with me to Tennessee in 2 weeks for which I am elated.
Again, I have taken the approach over the month of June to focus on strength training and treadmill or any other aerobic exercise, rather than fester and fume and obsess over what I am eating and I gotta' say that this has worked for me very well.
I have noticed my tummy getting flatter, my body getting toned and yes I have not gone overboard with eating what I shouldn't.
Last night I almost bought a chocolate bar and realized that I didn't want it and put it back because why bother when I can say 'no'.
No exerting self-control either but just because I am feeling better where I'm going so why ruin it with a quick chocolate fix?
Hope your plan is working for you!

wow! I can't walk by candy just yet... I'm just a week into my new eating habits. I'm amazed you picked it up and still were able to put it back. I'm going to remember this next time I'm tempted!

Hey pchick. Well, I've been conditioning myself for the last number of weeks and I have to take an hour and a half of really hard work to do that and 45 minutes on alternate days. When I picked the chocolate bar up, all I could think of was how much of that time was equal to the bar. It wasn't worth it. It'll come to you once you incorporate something which is costly and working out for me costs me a great deal of time which I love but I don't want to waste it away on a small moment of happiness. Hope you do well yourself!
