When I wrote my last post I was feeling unmotivated and disappointed with my weight loss journey. Like I committed to in that post, I stuck with my eating and exercise plan even though I was not feeling it. As my doctor instructed me, I reduced my calories to 1200 per day and I have intensified my workouts. The first week was difficult! I was hungry, tired and down right cranky! But, I did it...I pushed myself despite my wanting to give up. I wrote in a post a while back that persistence is better than perfection. My journey to lose weight has not gone as perfectly as I imagined but I am proud that I continue to be persistent on my weigh.
