So now is about the time I start lacking the follow-through on my diet and Fitness goals. I start out strong, but about 2-3 weeks in, I fall straight off the ledge. This year, I vow to be different. I have not been perfect and have not followed this diet plan to a "T", but I am encourage enough by this my Family, this blog and your words of kindness to get back on track when I stumble.
If you are like me, once I eat something I shouldn't, I am so hard on myself that I continue to do it. I have that mentality of "well, this day is gone, so I might as well eat whatever I want." I still struggle with that. I read something recently that said that Monday may be the start of a new week, but don't wait until then; the next second is the start of a new minute. I've tried to adopt that mentality.
I am getting ready to start the last week of the 28-day Jumpstart with FitGirls. I really like this program and I can honestly say that I've eaten consistently healthier than I have in years. I've lost a little weight, but I can tell that my clothes fit a bit better. I've struggled working out this week due to a head cold; but I did go out in what felt like sub-zero temps to brave the gym before I got sick. I tried to find many excuses not to go (who needs more than sub-zero temps??), but my husband helped push me to go. I do wish I had been more compliant than what I have, but I'm still on the train so-to-speak and that's a better showing than in the past. I'm still a work in progress.
This coming week starts a decent amount of traveling for my job. This is going to be the ultimate test. There is a lot of eating out and I really struggle with making good choices. I'll report back to you next week on how I fared. Preparation, preparation, preparation.
Have a good week!
