I have stuck to my new diet faithfully, I think in part because it is very realistic 1800 to 2000 calories a day, and all my fruits and veggies, no soda. Most days I am a little under my 1800 calories even. I exercise everyday. Have not missed a single day yet. For at least 20 min usually more, I have trouble exercising for more than 20 min, but I can feel myself getting stronger and have been doing a little more everyday.
Last night my size 20 jeans were too loose at work, so today (I work graveyard so my schedule is different from the normal world, my today is everyone else's last night while you were sleeping) I put on a pair of 18's they are very tight. I was so excited about the change, and my first registered weight loss of about four pounds it really lit a fire under me. I worked out for over an hour while I watched music videos and text my poor friend to near boredom (possible extreme boredom). Now my sides ache, but that is a good sign. It wasn't the most intense work out of my life but definitely the longest.
I plan to wash and rewear this pair of jeans until they no longer fit properly and I can go down to a snugger pair. I have this fantastic pair of jeans in a 16 (fit more like a 14) that I bought two years ago hoping to one day fit into them, perhaps that day is on the horizon?
