When I stepped on the scale four days ago, I was not expecting anything. I cleared my mind, took a deep breath and watched the red numbers appear... 208.8. "Well, you did just have a baby" said my husband.
Yes, I just had a baby 6 months ago. I have also picked up cigarettes again, meat treats, and beer occasionally. I also stopped finding time for myself and devoted my extra time to mom duties. It's very clear this isn't baby weight exclusively, I need a lifestyle change.
There is a side of me that has stayed alive for about 2 years now. The healthy eating, yoga doing, hula hooping, and green tea drinking side is there...but she's weak. She lacks the discipline to do things consistently without falling back on old ways every two weeks. The only thing she is consist about it returning back to old habits and crawling back to her preferred self that is healthy by nature and generally turned off by self destructive behavior. My lifestyle challenge is to make her stronger than my self destructive side.
I'm really excited to get this going and I am excited to declare for the first time out loud I am not going back. I am deciding to really take care of myself And not turn my back on myself.
Day 2 of no cigarettes, drove past the store and took deep breaths and did affirmations. "My lungs need oxygen, not tar"
Hula hoop session went well, 30 minutes of non stop dancing :)
Veganism is honestly easy when I'm not emotional. It allows me to EAT until full. Plant based diets ar. What make me lose weight fast, but I really want to focus on the global impact it has more as well. The inner universe is reflected outwardly.
here's to not yo yoing anymore and making consistent progress.
