Halfway Through Move It & Lose It


Well, at this halfway mark, I am surprised at how much I've struggled with keeping focused. And I do think that's it - I'm not able to FOCUS on my health eating and exercise, and it really shows. I HAVE totally kicked the soda pop habit and had only one drink of alcohol since startubg (for our anniversary). But, I've also worked a lot and am still staying busy with other commitments ... summer women's ministry program at church, LOTS of online swaps that require crafting and creativity, in addition to hosting my normal quarterly Flirty Apron Swap. Busy, busy. That in addition to tracking nutrition and exercise on SparkPeople, Tweeting every day @ShawneeH, and being a good employee, wife and mother -- well, I'm a bit tired. =)

Isn't it nice to see the results? I love it!! Hey, can you take some time out for yourself? Just to go somewhere and relax for a half hour, read something, just close your eyes and give yourself a pat on the back for doing so many things so well?

You deserve it!!

Krista said...

Glad you are happy with your results. You're doing great. Try to make sure you are taking some time for you each day. I know when I am making sure my needs are met I am better able to give of myself.

Kimberly @shrinkingkimberwls said...

WOW, great losses!! :) I think you will love your Gruve! I got mine on Friday and I have already seen a difference in my activity levels! I am much more aware of when I need to get off my derriere and move! I hope you have a great week, and keep up the good work!

Lisa Johnston said...

You're doing great, Shawnee! I'm so very proud of you!

I just got my gruve this week, and I love it :) I'm in the assessment week, and I can't wait until I start seeing how it REALLY works! :)


Hope you have a wonderful week, sweetie!!

Congrats on your progress! You're a rock star :)

Laura said...

I love comparing my before and afters! It is so inspiring! Especially when the scale on moves a little but the inches are gone!

Keep up the great work! Enjoy your new Gruve, whenever it arrives!

Dooood, how can you say that's depressing...you've lost 5 lbs. I'd be jumping up and down naked on my bathroom scale. Actually I did jump up and down naked on my bathroom scale. The more I lost the less jiggly it looked...your welcome for the visual...lol.

Julie said...

I agree w/ bookieboo, that is 5 pounds closer to your ultimate goal so be proud of every pound you shed!!

Stephen and Amanda O'Dair blog said...

look at what you have done! 5Lbs is wonderful! I have to say that you are rocking it! Keep it up and who knows it may be 10 more lbs by the end!

Have a great week

Paige said...

It might not feel like a lot, but it's 5 pounds you'll never have to see again. So keep working!

kia said...

Great job, your hard work is showing. I know it must be tiring but I hope it feels awesome and is getting easier.

5 lbs AND 6 inches? That's pretty stellar!
