Day 126 – Monday Motivational Mantra…positive mind a brewing!

 

Truth be told: I have been allowing a mild plateau to get the better of me – IT ENDS HERE… Today & now! Or at least the negative thoughts do…I have been very neglectful with my blogs…which I started 128 days ago when I started my new lifestyle change. I decided to write them to give myself motivation & hopefully motivate or at best give someone else a relatable read or laugh or smile…

Ok - here goes & I'm sorry...it's a long one!

I have been so consumed with that the bloody scale # & the fact that it has not budged in over a month that it has led me to frustration & a bit of unhappiness…IT ENDS HERE…Today & now!

Now it hasn’t gone up or down…it just keeps teetering up a pound, down a pound…so I really should take that as a positive but I just can’t…er, couldn’t. Going forward, I take it as a HUGE positive. It has just been difficult especially when your weigh in determines wins or losses here in DietBet land…BUT, there is a bigger picture – my lifestyle, health & happiness! Money is money – winning is winning but maybe I should redirect my thinking as I already consider myself a winner for taking a leap for me!

This is a temporary setback in which I am learning my body needs to get me to the next level – it’s just too damn comfortable and it couldn’t make it that easy for me (insert many many curse words, a feet stomp & a few tears) – OK, tantrum done – over! It’s going to make me work for it & that’s A-OK! I will have the last laugh when I get past it…

I have committed to this lifestyle change & I will not quit. In the beginning, I was so excited that my change, hard work & dedication brought me such great results…and fast. I was on cloud 9 with my rose colored glasses on thinking it would just continue that way until I reached my goal – POP (my bubble has burst)…the honeymoon is over :(

I know I will need to work harder than the average person – I’m just lucky like that…lol Again, I will have the last laugh…I already am so further along than I could ever imagined. I have never felt better, never looked better – so in a sense I have already won…pfft -- raspberries!

I know the following:

  • It will take time.
  • It will require me to stay positive.
  • It will require a shakeup.
  • It will require determination.
  • It will require hard work.
  • It will require dedication.
  • It will require support & motivation.
  •  

I am committed to do the following:

  • I will continue to work hard.
  • I will continue to be positive & be kind to myself for I come a long way in a short time & have committed to making me a better me!
  • I will stay focused.
  • I will NOT let that bloody scale get into my mind.
  • I will reach out for help & support.
  • I will laugh, smile & have fun!!!!
  • I will NEVER quit!

For anyone who has been there or anyone having the same struggle – Let’s stay positive & get through this. We can do this…We WILL do this!

Have a great Monday!!

LOVE, LAUGH & SMILE…the rest will take care of itself! Be KIND to YOURSELF & OTHERS!!
