Its a Process

  I constantly have to remind my self that I wont see results over night,  and the hardest part is not to quit and keep going forward with this change of life style.  I'm dying to go back to my regular size and be able go shopping and not feeling discouraged about how clothes look, or feeling bad because the size on the tag seems to big.  But I remember that I pined this for inspiration and I need to contantly remind myself that it take time and that its a process that is not done over night.   

Couple of weeks ago I saw this on pinterest (here is the direct link)  and it was a very clear to me that I wont see the results of my hard work in 24 hours if it took months for to gain the weight, its going to take months to get rid of it.  As of today I have not weighed my self I decided that I'll get weight every 4 weeks, which means that next sunday it will be 4 weeks since I last weight my self at 182.5lbs  I have not lost the motivation and I know I have to keep going and not quit.  It's been hard really though and many days I've wanted to give up but I tell my self that today is not the day to quit, because there is so many reasons to keep going and the most important is me. 

Thank you for stopping by this quiet afternoon,

 

Pin it and Try It

As part of my new Healthy Life journey I decided that every week I would try or begin a new challenge from the thousands that I see on Pinterest every day for my first one that I have actually began is the 30 day Squat Challenge

I'm currently on day 14th almost half way through this challenge last night I had to do 135 squats and it was hard I was about to quit at 80 for some reason my legs were just giving up I couldn't handle it but my supportive husband kept telling me that I could do it and I finished.  At the beginning of this challenge I was using a broom behind my head to help me keep my back straight but I noticed that it was actually making it harder for me and I had to take breaks more often.  Then I decided to try to place my hands right in front of me straight out and that seems to help me get through them faster.  I've also noticed that if I space them out it sets of 25 and take a 2 minute break in between sets it helps me finish them.  As I'm doing my squats I feel the outside and the back of my legs burn specially as I pass the 50th or 60th squat it burns but its a good burn that reasures me that I'm doing them correctly.  I'll continue my challenge and I will let you know how I finished and what I think of this challenge. 

Thank you for stopping by this quiet afternoon,
