Friendly Thighs and Other Enemies

This isn’t going to be a very long post, as I was a bit on the passive side as far as healthy living goes today. But there were no major traumas, I was just tired and stressed from school. Anyway, I’ve realized that one of my main problems is that I set goals for myself, goals with specific numbers and specific dates, and when I don’t read them, I panic and backtrack. So I’m going to have to work on not doing that, not telling myself that 5 or 7 lbs in a week could be normal for someone like me. I’m not going to starve myself to lose weight, nor am I going to sit by and wait for someone to make me eat healthier. I am doing a good job so far (not to toot my own horn or anything) and just need to keep on going. Ugh, well these two days weren’t so good, but I’ve got a lot of motivation and some wonderful people to support me in the 3FC world. Sure, my friends and people I’m around on a daily basis might not get it, but I’ll just need to be frank with them and tell them that I am trying to do something positive for myself, and if they can’t understand or support that, then what kind of friend are they? 

No more excuses, a two day holiday was long enough. Now back to the gym and back to my good old calorie counting ways. And no weighing until Monday (even though Sunday is my usual day). I can do this, I just have to get back in the saddle again. Besides, I feel so absolutely disgusting after two days of slightly bad decisions, I can’t imagine feeling like this for another minute without wanted to crawl into bed! I have an early morning Zumba tomorrow and then maybe belly-dancing in the evening? We’ll see!

Lots of love,

Effie
