Whenever I embark on losing weight, which I can count on my fingers and toes by now, I always want it to be instantaneous; and this time is not any different. I sometimes wish that I could wake up and that in my sleep all the fat just melted off my body. I know it takes time and patience to begin to lose weight and keep it off. My weight loss total is 4.5 lbs in 2 weeks, which is pretty normal, but who wouldn't, including me want to times that by like 3 or 4, just because you have been eating so good, working out and just over all trying to be better. It just gets frustrating sometimes. I was reading an article on the WW website and it was talking about how healthy weight loss averages between 1 to 2 pounds a week which means you're more likely to reach your healthy weight goal and able to maintain it which is encouraging. But the "I want it now" still runs through my head.
On a lighter note, I have been very diligent in my yoga practice. I try to go at least 3 times a week if not more, and right now I am currently hitting that. I have noticed that my stamina is better and that my concentration is really spot on, it's a favorite part of my day. I am really excited about my standing bow pulling pose which, I can almost hold for the full 60 seconds and am almost at the point where my torso is level to the floor; I just really need to turn my kick on to get those toes behind my head. But because of Bikram, I do feel like I am toning my muscles, slowly but surely. I have more energy throughout the day and am in overall better moods; also my motivation to get into the studio and work on my art work is coming back, I guess after almost a year break you start to get nutty and have the urge to create things.
But all in all, things are looking up. I am cooking more and eating the foods I love; and still losing. I just hope that I can keep it up!
