I'm going to write a blog post!
Sunday night blues are a new thing to me as having a M-F job is not something I have had very long. As I sit here alone drinking my shakeology, I want to share some thoughts. Starting a fitness journey is not easy. Often times you are alone. Often times you are being criticized for not eating the junk around you or not going out to the bar.
You should be praised! Everyone should be showing support!
But it's not that easy.
That's why I keep joining DietBets. It's not JUST about losing pounds for me. It's about the support and accountability that comes along with being in these groups. You have those supporters; people who understand what you are going through and are going to pat you on the back for success or pick you up from failures.
I used to spend every weekend having a nice Sunday funday that consisted of drinking all day with my friends. Now I spend Sundays doing a light workout and grocery shopping to prepare for the week ahead. Don't get me wrong, I still do go out and drink - but only occasionally. My current meal plan allows me to drink 3 alcoholic beverages a week as a treat, and that's what I am sticking to. If I do exceed that, or if I stray off my meal plan when I go out for a special event, I don't beat myself up. That's not what this is about.
This is about forming healthy habits. Changing your lifestyle. Enjoying the struggles. Empowering yourself with successes. I LOVE Insanity Max 30 because every workout is a challenge and I want to compete with myself every day. I want to be better than my last time.
It truly is a you vs you battle when it comes to weight loss. You determine your success and failures. You control the thoughts in your mind. You set the limits on your success. You also free your mind and achieve your goals. Even if it's only for TEN minutes a day.. Start somewhere. Free your mind and let your body takeover and kill your workouts!
This is a lot of rambling.. but I needed to get some thoughts out of my head and if it helps to keep someone motivated then that makes it all the better.
Bring on Monday..
