For a while there I did not feel like I was making changes. I was definitely NOT like the people in the commericals who seem to have the weight melting off of their behinds. I did not slim up at all in the first four weeks of my workout.
I realized i had not been eating clean and it was to specific to eat from this program. I also realized I could not stick to the south Beach Diet because I felt too restricted and like a failure. Then I stumbled upon the Zone Diet. I am sticking with it. Even when I have a cheat meal I am back on the Zone for my next meal. Lots of lean protein, veggies and fruit. A few nuts rounds out the average meal.
I probably still eat too much protein but my fat is down and healthy carbs are up. This past weekend I added Drinkables, Miracle Tea to my diet. It is a liquid supplement. I think it will be better than pill and it is all tea based. Nothing too weird. Only $8 at Big Lots here in Tampa.
My pants are fitting looser, I wore a skirt last week that had been off the hit list for a while. My butt is still hanging low and my hips are still wider than i want them to be but I can finally see real changes taking place.
My birthday is Sunday. I will be 39. 6 weeks until the office Holiday Party. I want to look amazing. Last year I felt a bit fat. This year I want to be toned and feel good.
As a gift to my self I might buy the Slim in 6 program. I am not sure about the DVD that is an hour long. That has been my hold up this entire time.
Next year when I turn 40 I want to buy myself a cute dress in a 4/6. I want it to fit and not be tight. I want to be able to shop with confidence again instead of buying whatever fits.
This is the year of a betterme. Fitness and Faith. Now is my time.
