Julie’s Never Say Diet Journey

While I took my 2 sons to Dairy Queen tonight..they got brownie batter blizzards. I stood up strong and got a red,white,and blue starkiss bar. They are 0 fat and only 80 calories! I DID IT!>……and I WILL do it again!!!!

Just got done walking an hr. My second day on my running program..I feel super! I have the best buddies around for sure.  They help me keep going! I have total control over everything that I eat..I am exercising and it’s a habit. No one is making me do it..I am actually enjoying it.  I never thought I would have this mindset. Reading Chantel Hobb’s Never Say Diet was just the book I needed to change my brain in order to change my body! I NEVER thought I would be able to do what I am doing daily. I NEVER dreamed this could be me. I am doing it. Gonna spend time with the boys! Love ya!

So..Kerstin gave me an 8 week training program for running. Oh my goodness…I felt the burn! I walked 3 minutes and then ran 1 minute 0ff and on for an hour. The most I’ve done as far as working out is be consistent with 30 minutes of activity. I feel amazing though. I definately am on my way to being the best I can be. Thank u so much Kerstin..I feel like I have really accomplished something..3.35 miles today on the treadmill! YaY ME!  I’ve lost 5 inches in 14 days…no idea on the pounds. just eating right and exercising consistently.

Hey guys..so yesterday I saw my best friend for the first time in 2 weeks. She said,” Are u on a diet..ur melting away!” I felt so good. I was able to say no…I will never be on a diet again, I am eating right and exercising! I also got into a pair of jeans that didn’t fit me 2 weeks ago.

 For Nancy and Kerstin..I took a break yesterday. I felt guilty for not running or walking on the treadmill, and when I went to bed I felt fat.  I am glad I don’t have to do that again till next Saturday.  I am proud to say I got right back on today and ran a mile in 13:30..my time is getting better!  Thanks for all ur support! I know I am doing great!

So..I have decided to put some goals ahead of me. Every year where I live, we have the popcorn festival. I have decided to participate in the 5K walk this September, and then by next September…I am hoping to be a part of the 5 mile run. These are feasable goals. I am a little nervous..but I will be a completely different person by next year..and I know I can do a 5 K walk. Just thought I’d share my ambitions with u…I never dreamed this would be me.

Well, I just got off of work, ran some errands, and then got home and ran a mile. I feel so great and can’t wait til a mile is easy because right now..I find myself chanting my favorite verse..I can do ALL things through Christ who strenghthens me. I have been working so hard and can’t remember the last time I felt this good. This is a lifestyle change and I am so relieved to say I will never EVER have to try another diet again. Going to take a power nap!

Hey guys..I went to work from 6:30- 12:30 …then went straight to a pool party from 1-7. I was careful about my food. I swam a lot and right when I got home.. I got on my treadmill and ran a mile in 14:40. I had so much energy. I love this place…so supportive. I feel beautiful inside and out. I am not even close to where I want to be..but I am going to be!

Love,Jules

I measures my inches today…I lost 4 1/2 inches in my waist and 4 inches in my chest..right below my bust. I gained 2 inches in my bust which boggles my mind. Oh welll..Lost 1 inch is my thighs.  This is quite exciting. All this in 12 days. I feel great!

Hey Everyone… I just got done running a whole mile!  I know to some it may not seem like a lot..but it is huge for me. This is my 11th day in a row on the treadmill and now I have actually worked up to running. I can’t wait until it gets easier. I ran it in 15 minutes. I feel amazing. I can feel the weight dropping off..even though I haven’t been on a scale..but my clothes are fitting great!   I love this site and u all! Jules

So…earlier I blogged about how bad my day was going. Well..I normally would have let that bad day, my exhaustion, and non motivation be an excuse for my habits. NOT TODAY!  I walked for 30 mins on the treadmill, I ate great, and I sanded spackel off the wall which was a huge workout. I did dishes, I did laundary, and I forced myself to get up and move. Today was the type of day that the old me would have sat around watching TV for the night! I feel so wonderful! Thanks for all ur support!
