You Must Begin to Think of Yourself as Becoming the Person You Want to be.

"You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be."~ David Viscott

How inspirational! I do this. Often.

I cleared out the aspartame last night. Gone. My Weight Watchers started out aiming to be within the points, but now I'm aiming to eat better within WW.

I can't believe I lost 10 pounds. It just doesn't seem real. I was 10 pounds heavier 7 weeks ago? It's hard to believe. I feel much better overall. When I gained the weight, I started having issues with acid and my throat getting tight. Those symptoms? I have only noticed the acid 2 times in the past few weeks, which is amazing. My throat getting tight...I can't remember when the last time was.

My workout this week has kicked my @*!. Boot camp twice, yoga, Strike (kickboxing with a Strike bar and weighted gloves), and possibly Zumba Saturday. I have made sure to get my protein shake in everyday. It really helps..and it tastes great. I'm thinking about buying the 80 ounce container since my 12 ounces is going fast. It's expensive, though. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is an investment in ME, so $ should not matter. I might think about it and buy it when I have a good cash week (babysitting/pay days). We'll see.

Anyways, I feel like I repeat myself in this blog constantly. I will try to spice things up. Hence, the quotes the past 2 posts.

Can I tell you a fear? Next weekend starts camping season and I know that I gain weight eating constantly when camping. This is going to the be the biggest challenge for me. I can see myself eating 75 s'mores in one sitting. Well, not that many. My biggest thing will be planning. I am doing really well planning out my meals. Wish me luck.

Tonight I rejected my Skinny Cow ice cream again. I am full from my shake (mango, pineapple, Trop50, Vanilla PP)..yum. My family is on a nightly brownie kick apparently. The brownie mixes were on sale for $0.75 this week and I guess we need to stock up in case there's some sort of brownie shortage (haha). There is a whole fresh pan of brownies with (gross) chocolate frosting on them. I am less tempted because of the frosting because I hate chocolate frosting. They don't even appeal to me. What is wrong with me?!

Lastly, I want to let you all know that there will probably be before/during pictures soon. Ang, Nick, and I took pictures around Christmas time of front and side views, and I want to wear the same outfit and do it again. I will post these pictures when I get around to it, hopefully by the beginning of next week.

I want to thank everyone for reading this blog! You keep me going!
