Hi everyone,
Well, I haven't been doing so well this week but it's a new month and I am picking myself up and getting back on track.
I was doing so well and then I got inside my head, got a look at myself in the mirror, and got discouraged. I thought how am I ever going to get this weight off? It is going to take forever. I am never going to do this.
It was a lot of negativity going on inside my head.
Last Friday, my trainer said to me "You are doing great, just keep doing what you have been because apparently it has been working". Somehow that statement did me in. I don't know if I got intimidated because it seemed to put pressure on me. I just don't know why that statement, which should have encouraged me, instead pushed some button.
I started thinking about the number. 287...that is so much, that is so high. I have to get this weight off so I can take a plane next year, I want to be at 250 at the end of the year...etc etc etc etc....
I have to stay focused on the small goals. That is why I set up the water and walking challenge. It is the small goals that will help me lose the weight and stay on track. I need to prepare my food and plan my meals.
Maybe I will stay off the scale for a bit. If I am working out and working my plan then the weight will come off. I don't need to focus on that number so much.
I want to get to my 275 goal by the end of the month. I don't know if I can do it b/c of my back-slide but I suppose even if I break 280 that will be a great thing.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone! :)
