I have forgotten how much hard work it takes, and want the rest just to disappear because I am worth it, without working for it.
I have been playing "victim" blaming my schedule, my tiredness, my everything on my lack of commitment.
I have fallen into bad habits again making excuses for myself.
So today I have drawn up my exercise plan for the next week, I have planned every meal and snack for the next week, and I am going to recommit myself and get this thing done.
Ain't no weight loss wand gonna strike me and magic away the rest of my weight, I gotta get out there and do it.
I don't think I am alone at the moment with feeling totally blah about the weight loss thing, so what are your plans for the week ahead and how can we help each other through the next week.
Hi kykaree! I totally feel the same. What I've done for March to try to work harder is, first of all I am exercising a lot more, and secondly I have decided to schedule in some days (or meals on certain days) where I can eat something that I normally wouldn't. I guess some ppl would call them "cheat days" but I try to avoid thinking of it like that. Whenever I think about unhealthy foods I would like to eat I just tell myself "you can have it on X day if you still want it then". It's working well so far! When I go off plan I don't feel like I've wrecked the whole week or month and I get back on track quickly.
I think it is our inclination in the winter to sit around and eat a lot, but spring is on the horizon so we can all get down to business.
count me in for recommitment. I want to get out of the 250s for a trip I'm taking in April. I want to try new exercises. Try adding fish dishes to our plan.
Kykaree - Since I have started coming here to 3FC I have seen how often you are supportive of everyone and how giving you are - good for you for giving some of that back to yourself! You are so inspiring!
I am committing to being "on plan" every day this week and getting my exercise in every day. I can't wait for 4 more pounds to come off so I can meet my mini goal of 40 lbs gone. I need to buy new pants so badly - the crotches of my pants feel like they are almost to my knees and it feels awful but I'm not going shopping until that 4 more lbs. come off. I never had a problem filling out the rear end of my pants before but I do now!!!!
So that keeps me forging on.
Good job Kykaree and everyone else who is recommitted. Let's all have an awesome week and next Friday we'll see how many of us stuck to our committment and how well we succeeded.
Good for you! You have inspired me. Today my calories have really been....ummm...over the top. But I WILL have an OP dinner and I will exercise today and plot out my food and movement choices for the weekend!
Isn't it wonderful when we get that spark of inspiration to commit to something as important as our health? For me I was putzing around from Jan. 1 until somewhere near the end of Feb. and then I read a thread and it just all clicked in. You inspired me to get going as did several others here!
Go for it Kylie!! You can make the rest of the journey!!!
Taking back what's mine
GO Kylie, GO
