Acceptable Challenges

Posted on August 30, 2016

Just joined Diet Bet. I have a good feeling about this one. Joined Back To School Back To YOU with Jen Widerstrom. It doesn't start for a few days, but I'm taking this time to prepare. I'll be cleaning out my pantry, making a grocery list, and scheduling exercise time that will be successful.

Going to take it day to day. My downfall with losing weight is that I get impatient and want the weight off sooner than what is realistic. To do this, I will keep this in mind; I am losing only one pound, 50 times. I thought it was funny, but realistically it's how one should see things.

Well, the best of luck to all. See you at the end :)

Not bad this past week. Keeping it steady. This week I am hoping to add an extra workout day. I kind of like the serenity of my home, but I know I need something to keep me motivated, so thinking about joining a gym for the swim classes. Maybe this will encourage me to workout there.

I worked 10 hour shifts last week and probably will continue until the end of this week. It's been rough, but I am managing to stay on track. My workout schedule is taking a beating. Only worked out 3 days, 30 minutes each. Wish this week was over so I can get on schedule. This plays havoc on your motivation.

So here I am again. Lost weight the first time but fell short of the goal. Joined again, but wound up taking FMLA from work to care for my mother (out of state) who's health took a turn for the worse. Wound up gaining the lost weight+. So now I am back home and ready to do this again. Not much into working out with others, but on my own is tough. I'm hoping working out with my friend will keep me on track.

Rode my bide today with a friend. While I feel it was a workout, still going to follow my exercise plan. Only because I don't want to break my routine, which I have done in the past. I feel good about the choices I am making with food and my workouts. While I was hoping to lose 3-4 lbs (lost 1.9 lbs.) in week 1, I am not discouraged. I know sometimes it takes time to see results. So, keeping a happy attitude because I do feel more energy and can now walk up 2 flights of stairs without being winded. Happy Days! :)

So, this past weekend I cleaned out my refrigerator, bought healthy groceries and I am going to follow the "Couch 2 5K" plan I saw on-line, which I started yesterday. Don't know why I'm sleepless (which is why I am here writing). Going to try to sleep, need to get up in 3-1/2 hours.

Thank you Andrea. Much appreciated. My challenge starts tomorrow. I'm ready. Both healthy food, dusted off my treadmill, and my routine is in place. Here we go...
