Slow and Steady Wins The Race

A lot of time that sentiment is not really true but in weight-loss I think it is definitely true. Total right now I have lost 21 lb so I lost 9 lbs in the month of August. Less than I would have like but more than nothing. I don't know if I will get to my goal of 200 lbs by Christmas but I know that by then I will weigh less than I do now. It is really hard when you feel like you are working so hard but the outcome doesn't quite match the effort. I wasn't able to do my cardio twice this week so I made sure to still get in at least ten minutes by lifting weights and doing stuff on my exercise ball. I got a pair of size 18 dress pants from Walmart for pretty cheap and they fit, snugly but they still fit, so that is nice. Joy brought me some dress pants to try too but none of them fit over by butt yet. I am thinking about going by Maurices to try on some jeans because according the their size charts my butt shouldn't even be able to fit into a size 20 which is funny because my size 20 Maurices pants are a little big on me right now. According to their size chart I will need to lose 3 inches off my waist and 5 off my butt before I fit into a size 18. Maybe that is more true for dress pants and stuff that don't really stretch but I am pretty sure a size 18 jean would probably zip. I still feel like I am going strong with this and while sometimes I really get tired of trying to fit working out into my schedule I know in the long run it will be worth it. I don't really have anything else to say right now but I wanted to get a post out here since I haven't in a while.
