10 Pounds At A Time

All I have to say is... FINALLY!! I have struggled with getting out of the 190's but I finally did it. I'm at 189 now and that means I've lost 60 pounds. It seems to help if I just try to tackle the weight I still need to lose 10 pounds at a time instead of the number as a whole. I'm almost to my August "Mini-goal" & no longer having a BMI that is Obese.

I've had a "mental block" lately with my workouts, I know I can do the workouts, but part of me is holding me back. Like I'm Doctor Jekyll & Mr. Hyde at the same time while at the gym. Part is telling me "Come on, you can do this easily.." and the other is saying "You are weak, your knee hurts lets quit". In my case Mr Hyde is stronger than Jekyll for the most part. But its difficult to push as hard when your doubting yourself. I just need to get out of this funk & I'm hoping being in the 180's will help with that. The last 10 pounds were tough!

  1. WOW, you've made it to the 180's. You are such a strong person. I have learned so much from you in just a short period of time. I look up to you, I lean on you for support and you can do the same with me. I am always here for you, no matter what.

    Keep up the good work, and for the worksouts, you can totally kick butt!! You are right, it's mental, since you KNOW you can do them and have done them before. You just need to think positive thoughts and push through the pain. Think about how your knee won't hurt as much when you get into the 170's!!!

    Great Job, Love Ya Jessica.
