#thirtyfive

Holy smokes… It is time to buckle down! #thirtyfivedays

Vacations over, celebrations complete and birthday’s just around the corner. I have #thirtyfivedays to become the best me I can be.

#thirtyfivedays to make the final change needed in this journey to accomplish my goals. I will accomplish this goal. I will adjust my eating habits and I will see results. #thirtyfivedays that’s all I’ve got. One change, that’s all I need to make. It’s that simple. I feel my muscles now. I feel my booty getting tighter, my legs getting stronger, my body changing. I see the signs of abdominal muscles, I feel my strength and endurance improving. The end results are in sight. All I need to do is clean up my diet.

The past fifteen days have been a challenge of sorts. The last seven certainly were a challenge. I was famished. Completely and utterly hungry beyond control. Unable to concentrate unless I was feeding myself more, unhealthy and delicious food mostly, but really I just needed to be eating constantly. The past fifteen days have been hard because of all the work I have been putting in, seeing small glimpses of success and then becoming completely and utterly famished. The challenge in seeing this as a journey not a race, it has impacted my motivation here and there a bit.

The Mr and I spoke about my struggle and my mental hurdles just the other day. The bottom line, I don’t have much to change, but to see the results I want to see, the change I need to make in these final #thirtyfivedays is pretty extreme. I need to completely adjust my eating and my drinking. Toss out sugar, clean up food choices, make smart decisions. I need to stop with dessert, slow down the bread bowls, limit the plates of pasta, choose vegetables and fruits along with healthy protein for every meal.

Again, it’s not a lot, it’s simply making the healthier choice every single time. #thirtyfive days. That’s all I’ve got. Here we go!
