I sure do come up with great plans… and I’m really good at not following through.
I haven’t been blogging, not just because I’m still struggling but because I really have been busy during the week, I have no excuse for the weekends.
A friend asked me about it and told me to remember how excited I was at the start of it… Good advice, I just need to figure out how to get that excitement back…
I will say that I am doing a lot better than I was before I started this challenge in regards to eating better things and not even wanting the garbage I was eating. I’m also moving a heck of a lot more than I was, but I’m not achieving anything major yet. I’m battling with my mind every minute of the day. Saying “no” to almost every whim of my inner junk food junkie and kicking my lazy self off the couch and into my gym shoes but those are not my biggest obstacle, it’s visualizing the result. I don’t feel like I’m making any progress even though the scale says I am… I can’t see myself at the end of the road and I am losing hope.
I got a few new tools that may help to stay on track and I’m excited to try them out this week. One is trying on my “skinny” jeans; putting on the smallest pair of jeans I own that can still zip all the way and comparing how they fit each week. The purpose is to help me to feel the results I may not be seeing yet. If they’re looser, great! If not, it should motivate me to get moving more the next week.
I am going to attempt to update more often. Maybe not daily, but maybe twice some days. Who knows?
