Whats that saying about slow and steady?

I am tired of slow and steady. Its official. I am one month in (well I will be tomorrow) and I am only 2.2 lbs down. I was hoping to be at least 4 lbs down by a month in, although the first week of the month I was a massive screw up and really didnt know what I was doing. I have also learned that I really need to be about 2000 calories under my 1,200 goal for the week in order to actually loose the weight I need to loose. (since I was about 2000 calories under the week that I saw the most loss) But that puts me at around 1000 calories a day which is pretty low. I am going to give that a try though, I just feel like things are not moving fast enough. I knew this was going to be a long road, I was just hopping it to be a long fast moving road.

I am trying really hard not to get discouraged, cause 2.2 lbs is better than nothing, I mean at least the scale is moving in the direction I want it to, not the wrong direction. The other big thing I learned is that I have to work out, I am not going to do this just by dieting alone, like some people can. So thats going to be my new thing, I cant make excuses for not working out and I cant lie to myself and pretend that walking when I really dont sweat at all counts as a workout. I need to be sore all the time, well not all the time but I need to be sore alot of the time.

Now all of that being said I want to post some positives, cause I hate being all negitive about this. I did remesure myself this week, and saw some change:

Waist: down 3/4 an inch
calf: down 3/4 an inch(not small enough to get into boots though)
hips: down 3 1/4 inches (from last week not the first time I mesured so technically if you go off the smallest its down 1/4 an inch)
Inch bellow Belly Button: down 2 1/2 inches
Belly Button: Up 1 inch (this sucks but I was really bloated so I am going to blaim it on that)
Bust: (again not an area I really want to see shrink) down 3/4 an inch
Thigh: same



Shadow Says "Always Wear a Helmet" he is wearing a helmet cause he tried to kill me

So its not all bad...And for some other good news, I am most deffinitly going horse back riding this weekend (unless the woman decides that I am to heavy for her horses, alot of people set weight limits of around 200lbs) I am deffinitly planning on going horseback riding this weekend, and I am pumped! So I am going to leave you with some pictures of horses and me when I was skinnier (mostly from horse back riding)
