On this path

So On this path I shall continue. I know that there are all these ways to lose weight but what i'm doing (for now) is working. I thought I wasn't making any progress because I took some pictures and compared them with older ones and it didn't look like much change. My husband says he see's it, the shrinking and toning, but I must be looking at myself with crossed eyes because nothing seems different. Remember my Calvin Klein dress? It's a button up Khaki dress. I love this dress!!! I wore this dress last summer, it fit perfectly on me then!!! One Sunday I wanted to wear this dress for church and asked my husband to iron it for me. I go to put it on and I couldn't button it past my waistline. I struggled and got it button down towards the middle of my stomach but any further and I was going to lose a few buttons. Anyhow, I thought to myself today "let me try on the dress" and when I did I was able to button all the buttons. NOW, once I start going south past my hips it was a struggle, and I wouldn't say the dress fit, but it does fit BETTER. It seems that I am losing weight around my waistline first. I can tell the my tummy isn't as flabby and my sides aren't as pudgy. So progress is happening. I am getting better at running. I can run a little faster a little further each time. I've been running 2 miles every day. I can finish 2 miles in 30 minutes.  I haven't done my Kettle Bell work out and I think I'm going to pick that up again. I really saw amazing results with that. As for my calories, I have good days and bad days. Some days I eat about 1200 calories, other days I eat about 2000 (so it seems) but I'm getting that under control as well. I am working hard, trying to discipline myself to workout even when I don't feel like it. To cut back on the portions even when I want more and to drink water instead of soda.  In reality I wish I was seeing quicker results but that in itself just isn't reality . Hard work and consistency. That shall be my motto.
