Roxanne - The plateau blues

Well fellow attempting-to-live-a-healthy-life reformers,
Today is another dark day.
I just can't seem to shake my life up enough to cause my body to lose weight, but I am not giving up.
Healthier is what I set out to be, and healthier is what I am.
I just wish that this weight would start slipping off my body and showing me a difference in my appearance . . .

Still not giving up.

Roxanne - Small Acomplishments Count

Hi Everyone,
I hope you're having a great week.

This week definitely had its highs and lows for me. I started off the week really great, keeping my calorie intake below 1,400 two days in a row, but for the next two days I completely made up for it eating thousands of calories in junk food.
However, I am happy to report that I jumped back on the wagon food-wise on Saturday, and workout-wise on Sunday, thanks to my sister Allysin who gave me the death glare when I hmmed and huhhed at going to work out with her.
I also want to put out a shout out to my friend Katie, who has been encouraging me in this process as she works on being healthier and losing weight as well. Thanks for keeping me on track. And to the rest of the 'Eh' Team - Ashley and Adam who make sure that I work out at least two times a week.
Thanks for keeping me accountable, and for pushing me. I couldn't keep it up if it wasn't for all of you :)
So, my goal for this next week is to keep my calorie count under 1,800 every single day this week (and hopefully lower than that on most days.)
I also have a really great accomplishment to report - I RAN A WHOLE 5 MINUTES!!! I've never been able to do that before, but, I did it on Sunday, and now that I know I can I'm hoping to incorporate it into most of my daily cardio routines. It just proves that although there has been little outward change, I am healthier on the inside - and that's never a bad thing.
So a huge thanks to everyone who reads this blog and has believed in me. Thanks.
-Roxanne <3
