2 week goal
I weighed in this morning and although I showed a loss (down to 254 from 257) I’m a bit disappointed b/c I know I would have been lower if I had been able to maintain my exercising. But I’m trying to realize that it was essentially out of my control so I’m going to be happy that I have lost.
My friends out there know how elusive 250 has been for me, so my 2 week goal is to get out of the 250’s…FOREVER!!! We have a family reunion 2 weeks from today and I am determined that when I get up that morning that the scale will say 240-something. Not only will I be closer to 200 than 300, I will hit the 40 pound-lost mark if I’m at 249. Somehow I have a feeling that 250 is more of a mental stumbling block than anything else, and once I blow past it there will be no stopping me! So for the next 2 weeks I will be focused. I’m still probably a day or 2 away from being able to wear tennis shoes to exercise (damn blisters) but that cannot cause me to throw in the towel. I might be able to do a FIRM workout tomorrow since it doesn’t involve repetitive walking, just standing there and lifting weights. Tuesday night we have open house at school so I’ll probably avoid heavy cardio just for the sweat factor, which gives me until Wednesday to get my feet back into the proper shape for cardio. In the meantime I’ll focus on weights, pilates and yoga, and of course not eating everything in sight.
Sometimes we look to hard at the day to day goals and lose sight of the end game. The desire to exercise is an accomplishment even if you don’t meet every daily goal. And soak those feet! I did the same thing at a wedding last year and hobbled around for days. My shoes were totally cute though! Keep you the great work!
thank you so much for your support with your comment on my blog. Ya know, sometimes it just helps knowing someone gives a darn! LOL
Good luck on those blisters…man; I have had that happen before! Not fun!
