My plan was to weigh myself after 21 days. After 20, I just couldn’t wait anymore. Since beginning the CoreLife Challenge, I am down 6.1 pounds! What a relief!!
All these results just make me want to keep going! I had initially planned on allowing myself a “free” meal or drink for a recent special occasion, but I feel so good that I don’t want anything. I can’t wait to see what’s to come!
I saw family recently. They asked what the heck I’m doing because there is a substantial difference. I honestly think most of the difference is the belly bloat that’s gone, but that’s okay by me!
This time of year was a little difficult to get through. I did allow myself to have a couple drinks and a cookie. I debated allowing myself those things but ultimately decided since this is a lifestyle, there are going to be times where I can loosen up a bit, only if I can generally maintain control. It’s important to me to keep up with the changes I’ve made and I’m constantly creating new goals and finding new sources of motivation.
I had a conversation today that really made me self-reflect. This person asked how I’m feeling and how things are going, and I responded with the usual, “I feel great.” Then, I mentioned how good it feels to FINALLY have this part of my life in control. He then asked, “Well, what’s different now?” So I’ve been thinking a lot about that conversation. It’s sad but I cannot remember a time in my life where I was comfortable in my own skin. In the past, I was OBSESSED with my weight and counting calories. I tried over and over again to lose weight and get skinny.
