The little things (workout edition)

So it's been a while since I made a blog post and honestly I wasn't sure if this would be a Facebook status or what. As of today, I have been working out and switching up some food choices for about a little over a month. My total weight goal is to lose somewhere between 148-155 pounds. That seems like mountain. So I'm following some smart advice to break the large goal down.

Even with that, the journey of working out and changing lifestyles can be pretty rough ,daunting even. There has to be something to keep me going right? 1st let me say, I don't even know where the 1st 10 pounds fell off because I hadn't started actively or consistently working out, so I'll chalk it up to eating more fruit. Lol. I've lost a total of 18 pounds so far and I gotta keep going.

So what keeps me motivated, you ask? Hmm glad you did. It's the little things. Like I am ecstatic at a 2 pound loss. What I have found that keeps me going even when I'm sick, hurting or just lacking strong willpower are moments like:

1. Less struggle to button up or pull up jeans/shorts.(👏🏾)
2. When the camisole no longer stops at my stomach and roll up, but now resides at the top of my thighs and stays put!(🙌🏾)
3. Bending over to tie my shoes doesn't feel like I'm about to pass out(still working on it being 100% easy. The struggle is still there, its lighter tho😁)
4. Standing in the mirror and seeing the curvature making an appearance (not looking for a coke bottle shape, but defines curves, yes!)
5. Speaking of curves, I've never considered myself to have a butt, but that maxi dress Sunday showed the squats, weights and walking is working... can we say more curves? Why yes, yes I can 😂😂)
6. My cravings have changed
7. My mood is better
8. And when on the elliptical or spin bike, I don't feel like quitting within the 1st 2 minutes. (Stamina improving)
9. Oh oh oh my back isn't hurting so soon after starting an activity(walking was a problem for me at 1 point.
Lastly (didnt think I had 10 little things, but hey here it is)
10.Every week there has been some weight lost.

So if and when I get discouraged, I can look at some of these things and others to let me know I can do this and to keep going...
