Day 16

Hey weight loss community,

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. It was a very tired/grumpy day. It snowed a lot and I was just feeling brought down by the weather.

Anyway, today is a new day and I feel GREAT! God is so good! Honestly, He is revealing His faithfulness and how strong He is to me everyday I go through this weight loss journey.

It is only 5:45 pm and I have already worked out twice! I am so proud of myself! I did a hour of dance class and 30 mins on an eliptical machine. So, engergizing! I highly suggest getting active. Atleast start planning actvie things to do with your family and friends. Go for a walk, walk your dog, bike ride, walk through a museum, play volleyball, just do something! Anything!

Really all it is taking for me to get active is finding something I love doing and turning it into an activity.

Be intentional about your workouts too. Don't just go to the gym and watch everyone around you working hard. YOU WORK HARD TOO!!!

Another thing I have found that is keeping me encouraged is dressing nicely everyday. Obviously, somedays you are just too tired and you go for a casual day, and that is totally fine. But since starting my new life I have started doing my hair and make up and putting on nice clothes everyday. I feel so much more confident and I look pretty everyday. Doesn't matter if I am not at my ideal weight yet. I feel great right here, right now in this day at this weight, because I took care of the outside of me.

Try it see if it gives you the confidence it has given me.

Food intake today has been really good. I have started drinking a lot more water and I no longer drink soda, even diet. I don't want to put those toxins in my body.

Remember today that you are beautiful, even at this weight, you are loved by the Most High God, you do have the will power and determination to live this new life, and you CAN do this. You can.

In Christ,

Hillary
