It has got to get better from here... Right? That is my motto for this week. My first week actually started a bit late, it started on Wednesday. And I am going to blame this week on my lazy self and the fact that are started in this a bit late. (maybe it will help me feel a bit better.) With that said here are my results...
I weighted in at 167 last Wednesday, and today I weighted in at the same. No gain, and yet no loss. I have truly felt the struggle this week. The struggle to find time to exercise. The inspiration to eat better. In fact I was telling a friend at church on Sunday since the day I joined the group I have had this uncontrollable need for sugar. It is crazy.
I need to brush off the dust of a slow start. I need to look forward and not backwards. But I think the most important thing is I need to feel confident that I can do this. I need to make a reasonable plan of attack that has mini-weekly goal instead of just a big end goal.
My goal for this week is three fold. I need to create a journal for more to track my choices both food and exercise. I am going to arrange to meet my friend who offered to help me with my sugar cravings. And lastly, I am going to give myself room to make mistakes. It is okay if each day is not perfect. It is okay if I make mistakes.
This is not a sprint, this is a marathon. This is a chance for me to make the life changes I need to live a healthy life, and free of pain. Deep breathes, this journey is going to get better from here. I can do this.
