In some ways this is piggy backing off of my last post....
So, I have a REALLY hard time trusting the 'process' of loosing weight. Im not sure if its becasue we live in a 'now' world and waiting is super hard? I know that small changes add up to big results if you put in the work and keep at it. Its so easy to preach that to others, but not so easy to practice. I tend to suffer from, am what Im doing enough to get me to where I want to be. I dislike that I am so 'addicted' to looking at my iwatch to see how many steps I got in, how many caloires I've burned, have I gotten in my water goal, etc. I aslo have a really bad habit of stepping on the scale everytime I see it. It's so sad how that number can get into my head and determine my mood for the day, which then kinda turns into how my days going to go. I stepped on it today and was 1.8 lbs up from yesterday am, so here I am today over analizing what I did wrong. I have to be honest with myself and say nothing. I tracked all my food, stayed in my calorie goal (although I could have made some smarter choices, remember I've mentioned how I like my adult drinks at night...) got in my hour workout and stayed as active all day. SIdenote, I love naps so I typically take one on my off days while snuggling with my yougnest :) I even ate a protein bar before bed because I was afraid that I didnt get in enough calories based on what myfitnesspal says I should be getting in each day. Enter another worry, am I eating enough so I dont slow my matabolism down.
I know its a process and if I just keep at it results will come, its just believing it and getting out of my head and just do the best I can each day. I need to stop obsessing over the number on the scale, dare I say stay off the darn thing for a few days, and dont worry about what type of excersize Im doing, as long as Im doing someting!
Successes I need to remember
~I havent had diet coke since starting this challenge. I truly dont think there is anything wrong with it, but have noticed how much better I feel drinking more water and less pop.
~ I've gotten in some type of excersize at least 6 of the 7 days a week
~Ate better meals and way less mindless eating
Again, not tooting my horn, just trying to let myself see that change is happening and will happen as long as I stick to it and dont overthink it. I've got this...I think :)
It takes 4 weeks for you to notice a change, 8 weeks for your friends to notice and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. It takes ONE day to deciede that you are enough. Keep Going!
