BBB II

Shaytaan baa kombiyutarkeyga galey bekawse it has been feri islow laytli.

However, on with my little weight loss success story. So about three days ago I step into the bathroom scale to see if anything I was doing so far was making any changes. I really had no expectations - except maybe beating the scale to death if it didn't give me good news. I was so surprised and pleased to discover that I had lost 5 whole pounds. Then I stepped up to the mirror and looked all over my body to see where those 5 pounds were hiding. I couldn't find it. I still looked the same. No change was visible. Where they hell did they come from? I guess I've bought into the whole instant gratification thing hook, line and sinker. I want changes and I want them NOW. So I was disappointed not to see a sculpted bodybuilder after losing 5 pounds. :-)

Anyway, although it took almost 3 weeks to lose that 5 pounds I'm optimistic because it was due only to my daily hour long walks. I still haven't done any of my other plans of which were 1) lay off the junk food, 2) drink more water, 3) eat more healthy foods and 4) decrease my meal portions. So I know that if I follow the rest of the plan diligently there would be even more pounds melting off. I'm giving myself a more realistic timeline of 6 months to a year to lose all the weight and hopefully keep it off. I still have 15-20 pounds to go and after that is done the next goal is to build up my 'muscles' and tone up.

I'm looking forward to more tips from my unofficial personal trainer Miss Aya (she just doesn't know she is because I don't want her asking for a salary) & hopefully a little bit of motivation to hit me.
