Back on the horse

The heat is such a killer! Last week I couldn't find the strength to care about working out or cooking. I only put on 1lb (YAY) but I need to get back in the swing of things. I've got my meals semi-planned out for the week and I plan on getting back to the gym tomorrow. It's still very hot out so sleep is almost impossible, but I'm going to try and ( Read more... )

You're definitely not alone in that feeling. Every day is a struggle to eat right and exercise. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I fail. When I fail, I know that the trick is not to let the disappointment of failure compound itself. For example, if I a piece of cake, I mustn't feel so bad about not eating vegetables instead that I eat the rest of the cake to console myself. If I don't exercise today, I mustn't feel so down about it that I stay home and watch movies in my pajamas for the next week.

Every moment is a chance to make a good decision regarding your life. Seize the moment, but don't mourn all the previous moments. The war is not over; you have not lost. The battle rages on, and every day is a new chance to take back ground, to hold your ground, and to charge. *hugs*

It's never to late to get back on the bus right? I'm trying so hard not to let my guilt over doing badly overwhelm my good intentions. So yesterday wasn't so great, I ate more carbs and sweets than I should have and I didn't get to the gym, but today is a new day and a new chance to do better. I know that to succeed I must be a strict as I can. From experience I know that the changes I want will only happen if I can consistently stick to my 1550 cal plan with 4-5 days of walking (30-60 mins). It's just so hard to be that consistent! So many distractions, so many things that seem more important, so many temptations and cheats are always all around. I can only hope that today is a better day and tomorrow will be even better.

In the immortal words of Dori, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming." Or, if you prefer Blues Traveler: "There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying. Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace."

Everyone has moments of weakness, some more than others, but that doesn't mean you can't reach your goals. It may just mean it will take longer to get there ( ... )
