Regimen....
Kara made me think. She wrote a nice long update about how she could take better care of herself, and now I'm motivated to do the same. With another one on the way (shhhh) I need to keep myself healthy so I don't end up feeling like a pile of crap after I deliver, like I felt after giving birth to Natalie.
Where I already take care of my hygiene very immensely well, I am going to start eating better too. I run up and down the stairs every night before bed already, so that takes care of some of my exercising...I'm going to cut out completely my butter, salts, and fats. Of course, I'll still continue to eat my grains/pastas, just not in the large amounts I normally eat them in. Although, I know quitting smoking would help dramatically as well, I just can't forsee myself quitting any time soon. Sad? Yes, I know. But, shit happens.
I had cut out regular sodas and switched to diets, and noticed that in almost 6 months I've dropped 8 pounds, but now I'm cutting out sodas all together. None. Iced tea, water, juices (100% only), and milk (2% only or maybe 1%, I haven't decided yet). My new diet and with Kara's motivation, I should be losing weight nicely and in a timely fashion, while keeping myself healthy enough for this new child inside me to grow.
I thank Kara for jolting me into a new outlook on life and hope that she can help me stay motivated to do this...Even if it means, SHE EATS DINNER WITH ME FROM NOW ON!! hahaha. Or that when Kevin and I get our own house on (hopefully) Mom and Papa's land, she can lounge with me all the time! haha.
I had a dream the other night that I would love to come true.
*Outside in the pouring rain, I ran in place, motivating the others around me to do so. Telling them not to quit. "We aren't quitters are we!??!!??" I yelled at them. Then suddenly, I dropped to the ground face first and the others mimicked me. Rainwater that had formed in the grass splashed us in the faces and we did our pushups. "One, two, three, ONE. One, two three, TWO!" We shouted in unison as we pushed up and down. Rain beating on our backs. "UP!" I shouted. Everyone got to their feets. Then, we began to do 'sidestraddlehops'...Which civilians know to be 'jumping jacks'. We shouted our countings as we did them. Breathing hard and soaked to the bone, we were sweaty and tired. However, we refused to give up...."
There's more to my dream, but you get the point. I want to start a training regemin like the one I had to do in SC Parris Island Boot Camp. I think that doing a regimen like that would help me to lose weight effectively and the right way...Losing fat...Not gaining muscle...I don't like muscle on a woman. I mean, you will gain muscle, but not in the bulk way you would, like if you were to work out at Curves.
If anyone is interested in starting one, please let me know. I have a huge house here and no one to work out with...I mean, now that it's getting cold, I dont forsee us going outside and freezing our asses off....But, I really want to start this up....
Well, I have one hour before I go to Sonjra's now. I'll update when I get back!
Tah tah~!
