Nancy’s Weight loss Journey 5 Yrs & Counting

My goal yesterday was a simple one. Get to the gym and DON’T eat after 8:30pm. SUCCESS
I got dressed and left work at 4:30pm and headed straight for the gym. Got there at 5 and thought the only thing I was going to do was wait around for my 5:30pm Lift class. But the first Kickboxing class was full and I thought why not, let’s go in for a warm up. Glad I did, they were doing the Best of 4 and I had a great time. Then I did my weight class, first in over two months - and I know I’ll pay for it later. Then I did the first 1/2 of the second kickboxing class. I wanted to do the whole hour but I knew it was best to ease into my workouts instead of plunging in and going hardcore on the first day.

Then I went home and ate mom’s Cambodian beef soup and rice - really light and helathy -Thanks MOM :). But there was also pizza and we also had cake - the temptation was too much. I ended up eating the pizza and took a coule bites of the cake. Nine rolled by and my boyfriend came home with some fast food - I was sooooooo tempted to eat and I actually asked Rodney for some. You know what he said, “As much as this hurts me I can’t give you any” - because you asked me to help you get to your goal. I love him for his support.

I fought temptation all night and I felt like I was going through food withdrawal. My body is used to eating around 10:30 due to a late workout schedule in the past. I am trying so hard to break the cycle and last night was not easy.

I look forward to a great eating day, mindful of everything that goes in my mouth and can’t wait to hit the gym for some cardio and yoga.
