Good morning all! Well today was the first day that I got up to workout before work and guess what......I love it! I did an hour of Zumba and burned a ton of calories all before the sun came up! I can really get into this. I'm getting such good feedback from this blog and so much encouragement. Thank you again.
However, I am having a struggle. I'm having a hard time eating enough calories. I know that I need to eat the proper amount of calories to lose weight, but I just can't seem to get them all in. Any thoughts or suggestions would be most helpful. On another note, I've just about had it with people who are telling me not to focus on weight loss. Now I know the goal is for me to be healthy, but in order for me to do that I need to lose WEIGHT! I am obese. Not thick, big-boned or any other cliche one may use to avoid the term OBESE. My bmi is well over what it should be so in order for me to be the new and healthy me, I have to worry about my weight.
I've changed my eating habits, I've changed my exercise habits and my goal is in sight. I won't stop eating right and exercising after I reach my goal weight because this is my life now. It's not a passing phase or a "diet", this is my LIFE.
So for those of you who don't have to worry about your weight, "hats off to you", but for me, weight is an issue and it's blocking me from being the best me I can be. So I will continue this journey and strive to be the best me that I can be.

I still need to try Zumba, so good for you!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely understand what you are saying about the weight loss thing, but I think if you focus on the "health" part as much as you do the weight loss, it will help in the long run. Once I started getting closer to my goal (and I'm still not there yet), I found it easier to cheat because I wasn't as concerned with losing WEIGHT. So I had to remind myself that I want to eat right and exercise because of the health part too! I know you know this totally, so I'm not even sure why I'm sharing lol.
Keep up the great work!
