So I realized over the last two days that this tiny little lie has crept in that I am failing. I actually AM aware that this is not true and that ever single step I take towards my health IS success. It’s just hard not to be discouraged when you look forward to it all week, thinking you’ve made some drastic change. But I have to remind myself that this isn’t about a number on the scale.
This is long term, this is about overcoming my addiction.
This is about pursuing health in every aspect.
Not just physical.
So maybe the scale is showing no mercy this week, but I DO feel better and I think I look better. Maybe it’s in my mind, but I think I’m still losing and my body is just confused.
Whatever it is, I have to be okay with it. God has me where he wants me right now.
On another note, this month I’ve started Slim Fast...well the generic version at least. Today was day 1. It went really well as far as I can tell. I wasn’t hungry until after my workout, so around 5pm. I’m still using myfitnesspal as well. So we’ll see how this week goes. But if the scale still doesn’t budge I might see about something else.
Oh, I meant to update you on my board of accountability partners earlier so some of these are a week or two old. But I asked them how things were going, here are their answers.
Rhonda: "A little thrown off by my new work schedule."
Morgan: "For once I'm sticking to something and I'm very encouraged."
Sammy Jo: "Probably an A"
Emily: "I actually do enjoy this whole learning about my foods and what I put in my body and trying new exercises, I just wish I had more time!"
Justine: "I pooped Satan's Baby today."
Also, my dad is officially added to the accountability board and his response was:
"Focused and Determined, and this time I'll keep it off!" - said in Grinch voice.
Yeah, I'll leave you with that.
and just so we're all clear, I'm okay. I just never want to sugar coat anything or act like I'm not frustrated or struggling... okay, rant over. (lol sugar coat... I wouldn't have room for those calories.)
Toodles!
