Back to Basics

I am now finally feeling better. I need to get back in the game. I have tried to be good. But it has been a challenge. Weight loss is hard on a good day. It can be next to impossible when you are not 100%. So it has been slow going the last 6 weeks. OK let’s be real, the holidays have been hard too. So for the last couple of months, it has been hard.

No more excuses. The time to get serious is now. I am going to tackle my relationship with food first. I will log all food and strive to make good choices this week. I am also going to try to go to the gym three times this week and do 30 minutes on the treadmill. I think that this is a good start. I am committing to this right now. I am going to lunch with Paul’s family and am going to look at the menu as soon as I am done. Good choices start there.

I am also going to make my first training appointment this week. I am really excited to add this component to my health plan. I sometimes will get at the gym and become overwhelmed and I think having some guidance will help immensely. Also, having an appointment will be more of an incentive to get there.

Getting all of my thoughts, feelings, and apprehensions out into the world is really helpful. I find the release helps me to focus on what I need to and let go of what holds me back. Also having my goals out there allows me to hold myself more accountable. I know I am not the best writer and sometimes my thoughts are not fluid. But it is not about what people think or about inspiring others. It is about moving forward with my own goals and using this tool to help me get there. I am writing this for me, not anyone else.
