Happy Anniversary to my wonderful hubby today!
Not only have we been on this weight loss journey together for the last 7 weeks, we’ve been each other’s best friend, cheerleader, and soul mate for the last 24 years of marriage.
We aren’t celebrating today by scarfing down food that’s not good for us, nope. We did yoga together and are having a nice, sensible, under 500 calorie dinner.
I love you, hunny bunch! 🐻
Thank you for being my number one fan. 😚

Something I’ve noticed about my mornings now is that I say to myself “I’m going to workout” instead of “I HAVE to workout.”
It used to feel like a chore or a punishment, but 7 weeks in and working out feels like exactly what I want to be doing.
It feels like what I need, what makes me feel good, what I actually enjoy doing.
I’ve never worked out so consistently before. And now that I’ve got a taste of it and how strong it makes me feel, I never want to go back to my old life...
After doing 50 days of standing yoga, I finally decided to try a “regular” yoga video to see if I could do it.
And I DID IT!
From beginning to end, I completed the whole practice (a beginner video by @yoga_with_kassandra) and I did even better than I thought I would.
I was even able to do downward dog and pedal my feet!
Afterwards I feel revived, rejuvenated and energized...basically ready to take on the world because I completed something I didn’t think that I could.
I’ve been working out so hard these past few weeks and I’m thrilled to see the results of all that time and effort.
I’ve decided to continue with the standing yoga and do a 60 day yoga challenge because I enjoy doing it so much every day!
It’s a good thing I’ve learned to embrace sweating over these past six weeks because the triple digit heat is here to stay for a while!
Our workout room is the furthest away from the thermostat and has been about 84 during our workouts.
Sweat is fat crying, right?
You bet your bippy it is!!!

If left to my own devices, I will eat too much and go over my calorie limit. That's a fact and that's what got me overweight in the first place. Without boundaries, I take advantage and easily get out of control.
I can't be trusted. If I pour a bowl of cereal for myself, most likely it will be about 3 times as much as the recommended serving size.
So that's why I continue to measure and count out everything and am diligent with keeping track of every single one my calories. Posting here every day holds me accountable and ensures my weight loss success.
Can’t wait for our monthly weigh-in in two weeks!
I know all of this calorie counting and working out is paying off...
I never used to understand the appeal of gyms at hotel resorts. I mean, who wants to workout when they’re ON VACATION???
But now, I get it. If we were to go to the coast for the weekend or over to Reno, I could totally see myself making use of the gym! Even on vacation, I’d be getting up early to make sure I got my workout in. It’s become that much apart of my new life.
Just another one of those who-are-you-and-what-have-you-done-with-Rachelle type moments in my #weightlossjourney!
