I feel like in my younger days (20's), I would be losing this weight much more easily. It really sucks. It seems like I can keep it up for a week or so and then once I see that I haven't lost anything or have even gained something, I think what the heck is the point. I can't do this for ANOTHER week and not see results! That's what the dumb brain tells me, anyway. I forget the fact that despite the tiredness from getting up early, I feel good about myself and my body feels good from the exercise.
Anyway, this morning I made myself a 8 week challenge. I used to do things, just to see if I could do them (i.e. cutting out caffeine - did that for a few years; cutting out swearing - did that for about a year; etc.). I don't know if I have it in me anymore, but I'm going to see.
This is my 8 week challenge:
- start date - Sept.8; end date Nov.2
- exercise at least 4 times per week
- eat MOSTLY healthy
- blog every day
- no chips
Today was my starting date for my personal challenge. While I did not exercise, I ate healthy all day, am currently blogging, and at NO chips! A decent start, I think. I plan to go to the gym tomorrow morning. Part of my motivation seems to come from reading various blogs and forums online. When I'm feeling super unmotivated, I try to read a few threads to remind myself that it's possible to lose weight and that exercise makes a person feel good.
Food for the day:
- oatmeal
- strawberries
- chicken and wild rice soup (made a HUGE batch in the crock pot on the weekend!)
- apple
- grapes
- chicken fried rice
- half of a banana
So...tomorrow is another day. I WILL get my lazy ass out of bed. I WILL go to the gym. I WILL eat healthy. Then, at the end of the day...I WILL blog!
