Lost a few

Losing weight is such a strange thing. When you truly make it a priority and truly do a hard workout a few times a week and eat fairly well the pounds come right off.  We always say that losing weight is so hard, but in all honesty, it comes off when you do the right things.  I just don't always want to, or feel like, doing the right things.  My biggest problem is that now I have to continue to workout and eat well. Why is that so hard?  It is so easy to celebrate the pounds lost with a McDonald's breakfast, even though that makes no sense at all.  (This is what I did this morning, how stupid!)  So after 4 pounds lost, I need to workout extra hard this week, not less.
This past week I hiked on Sunday, went to Kickboxing on Monday and Wednesday and ran the Lanikai Loop on Friday. I'm hoping to hike tomorrow and then Kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday this week.  Then hiking again next weekend.
My hope is to lose another pound, I'll be happy to maintain, but I'm aiming to lose.

I want to run the loop so badly!! I miss it!
Yeah the first pounds just melt away then it gives you motivation to keep going.
It's easy when you do it! but sticking to it is hard. I think you just have to not think of it as a diet and think of it as changing your lifestyle...that way it doesn't feel or seem like you are missing out on anything.
Like now I just say I dont eat mayo kind of like I never ate it when I used to love it loaded on my whopper!
if it was easy everyone would be a skinny bitch!
