I dropped below 168! I have to admit- it wasn't without a bit of a battle. I'm also not that far below 168- I'm at 167.8- but I feel like I broke through another barrier by beating 168. The battle in this case would be finding the time to exercise since I have been working for the past three weeks.
Guilty admission: my weight had crept up past 170 again.
One morning, my son woke up extremely early- the 5 a.m. hour. Once I gave him some milk to soothe his teething- I opted to stay up and put in my Jillian Michael's workout dvd. I had been meaning to wake up early and get a workout in for about a week before this happened. I guess my son knew I wanted to improve my health too. It was exactly the kick in the bud I needed. I struggled through about 20 minutes of the video but kept pushing myself to do more. 20 minutes is the warm up and two circuits. I was exhausted afterwards- but it's worth it. Knowing I'm getting healthier and will look and feel better about myself and have the physical ability to run after my son soon- it makes it all worth it.
I'm also stubborn and don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe in size 14- especially since I have a lot of things I like that are a size 8.
