For me, getting to the gym at least 4 days a week is a must. It keeps me going. Motivates me. Inspires me. Not to mention what it does for my mood! Today, I find myself out of sorts, and I attribute that to the fact that I was unable to get to the gym at all this weekend. I found myself making poorer food choices, slacking on my water intake, and just over all not feeling like the new me.
Why am I telling you this? Simply put, I don't want you to think this journey has been easy, by any means. Every day is a battle. It's not that I'm stronger than others, or want this weight loss more. I have my off-days just like everyone. I just haven't had many....lately...until this past weekend. I don't know if I was feeling over confident after winning the "biggest loser" title at work, but I really wasn't as well-behaved as usual over the past few days. I had more than my share of tootsie rolls, french fries for the first time in 4 months, and 2 mini packages of cookies this afternoon before dinner. How quickly a person can lose control! I've used the bulk of my weekly weight watcher flex points in just 3 days. Up until now I haven't even been using them at all. Yesterday, I only got half my water in. I haven't been to the gym since Friday, and boy do I feel it...both physically and mentally. I haven't lost the desire to work out, scheduling just didn't allow for it this weekend.
Don't get me wrong...I'm looking at this as a good thing. I know there will be many more instances like this that I will need to work through to get to my goal. It's just another step. I never thought this would be easy...quite the opposite. It's definately the hardest thing I've ever done. I can assure you though, that I will never go back to the way I used to be.
While I'm on the subject....check out Scale Junkie. This is a great site for support and encouragement! I think I'll be visiting it quite a bit!
