I know 3 people in weight watchers. All of us started at the same time, me, my mother and a coworker (I didn't know her until we met at a meeting.) All of us are struggling in the worst way. I did lose this week and I have been following points again. But its like this game. I keep waiting for the motivation to click back in but I feel like life is so hectic and so much is going on that I'm doing good to do what I can. I had such wonderful motivation at first, I had a drive and a want for it to work this time and it has slowly gone back to how hard this is. I am hoping to get the 4 lbs from Christmas off, I've got 1 lb left to lose and I know I can do it. I've been looking for inspiration from every where I can. There is no click though.
I guess the positives are:
I'm still doing it, even if its not perfect. I told myself in August, 'do it until February' and I have no desire to quit so I can definetly see me sticking this out.
I'm hoping spring will bring a new motivation and I won't be looking back with regret saying 'why did I quit in January'. I'll be proud I didn't give up because I could gain it all so quickly! (Christmas is proof of that)
There is a definite change in my grocery list and I am watching portions still.
I drink more water than ever
More energy for sure- I'm able to come home clean house, play with the kids, and cook dinner. normally it was just one of those!
And it wasn't cooking and cleaning!
I made a change to take care of myself always trying to look nice, taking care of skin, new make up, new good smelling stuff and I do it still!
I can't ignore that my life is pretty full right now with personal issues -I see we all have them. And that maybe its okay that I am aware of the struggle and know there will be a better time to be able to do more. Lately my posts are in the middle of the night because I can't sleep anymore. Which throws my 'planned' schedule off. Anyway enough excuses...I have a ton and could blame it on anything and everything that is getting me down.
If I find myself sitting on the couch I can just go to the gym. Even if its only a quick 30 minute cardio- its exercise!
I can concentrate on my goal again- which I never did reach -30lbs. I'm almost there.
Work those fruits and veges back in again.
I can remind myself there is no time frame on this journey.
