Hello :) It's Tuesday again and, as usual, I had my date with the scale this morning. My weight is 176.22 lbs this morning. I am down 0.88 lbs from last week. It isn't a huge loss, but it's a loss. I will take it!
In my last post I mentioned how well I was doing with my eating. But you may have noticed that I didn't mention exercise. That is because I wasn't doing it. None, at all. Anyway I decided to get back on track with that too. I am committing to my minimum half hour per day again. I am really glad that I did. Yesterday I worked out for one hour on the Wii and then I did my crunches and weights. This morning I have already completed my half hour and I feel really good.
When I get off track and skip workouts I end up making a huge issue out of it in my head. I will think things like "I need to start working out again" and turn it into this big huge thing in my head and then I end up not doing it and time goes by. I realized that I was doing this and I stopped and thought that instead of making a huge deal about working out everyday, and getting back into it, and worrying about how much I should workout - I need to just get moving!!! So I did. I worked out yesterday and I worked out today. I stopped worrying about the details and I stopped planning a workout and I just moved. And, not at all surprisingly, I feel great.
I didn't even realise I was sabotaging myself, but I was. I was getting so caught up in thinking about what I should be doing that I wasn't actually doing anything. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky!!! Does anyone else do this? Anyway that's it for today. I have plans for today so I better get moving.
Bye for now,

Good job on the weight loss for this week ! I am sure a bigger loss will be next time.
ReplyDeleteI beleive we all sabotage ourselves in many ways without even realizing it. However once we do, the positive changes start happening. Kudos for getting back on the exercise wagon, I need to do that myself !
Good job on the loss! It's great that you are getting moving again!
ReplyDeleteGreat news about weight and exercise! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I used to do that thing all the time. I still do it sometimes, but it's happening less and less. My life improved so much when I stopped dwelling so much on everything and started actually doing stuff.
Hi Cara! I haven't seen you around lately and wanted to say hello and see how you were doing. I hope you are having nice holidays. Give us some news from your world when you have a moment. *Hugs* :)
