May 13 Long time no blog....How time passes. I am playing with the same 6 pounds.... for the past month. Why? I think I am self sabatouging myself. I get to a weight and I am excited and then I slow down my progress. I realize I must continue to have motivation, but I am finding motivation to be a hard concept to grasp. School is going well, 5 classes left to my degree.... it is so close yet so far :o) Pat is doing AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough good things about him. He is down 30 + pounds and kicking butt. I feel so much better when I am exercising and eating right and in all honesty eating right is not the problem, it is the motivation to exercise. Pat says 25 minutes and who does not have 25 minutes of down time when they can do a little cardio or a ball workout? My life is full of excuses.... and that would be me. I would prefer to sleep rather than exercise or do something that does not require as much energy. Sad fact but a true one :o) I am working on getting back on track this week and so far it has gone pretty good. I have not exercised.... but have worked on eating habits. Positive self talk is something I am trying to do more often. I see changes in my body, in my face, and in my outlook. Stress is an evil creature and one that makes me want to eat something sweet... not sugar free sweet but real live rich and sweet.... knowing I should be eating fruit or a sugar free treat but sometimes the sugar fix is needed. Is this an excuse? I don't know. I want to believe it is not. I want to feel it is ok to eat something that may not be good for me but stop at that one instance, not fall into the old way of thinking I can start again tomorrow. If I am not careful, tomorrow will NEVER get here. I find it easier to eat healthy at work when I take breakfast, lunch and snacks. I know I can always go to Subway for a great lunch or supper. I know I can eat my oatmeal for breakfast, a banana for snack and start my day with a large glass of ice water... I treat myself once or twice a week to a nonfat, sugar free latte...I have downgraded my size from large to medium and now can usually feel just as satisfied with a small. With the nicer weather I hope I will feel better about going out for a walk with the dog. I am really going to make an effort to blog more, it helps me with motivation and when I started this journey it certainly was not to quit when the motivation waned. I will be successful... I will be proud of me and I am hoping my husband can be just as proud of me...goals accomplished for both of us.
