I must annouce that I worked out every day this week! And will finish the week strong tomorrow with one last workout, before heading up to NWA for the weekend! I have to go to the house up there and grab some spring clothes since I all I have are sweaters here. I didn't know I would never be returning to my house there, kinda depressing. Being in rsvl isn't too bad though, at least I get to workout and eat healthy here. Not that I couldn't do that in NWA, it's just easier here, myparents support me, and eat whatever I cook. It's so much easier when you have support. So I finally finished week one of the couch to 5k program, and I must say, it was much easier than I thought. There were even times, when my 60 seconds of running was up, that I wanted to just keep running cause I was starting to feel confident and like I could do it! I didn't though cause I've read not to overdo it at first, even if you feel you cando more. So I am gonna stick with the program as much as possible and hopefully in the end I will be a runner! I guess after I can run a 5K I will have to start training for more, but for now, 3 miles seems good enough for me!
I've also done what I have needed to do for a while now and made an actual work out plan. I figure If I canstick to an eating plan then a workout plan will probably be beneficial too. So I will list it on this page somewhere along with all my other fun little tid bits!
I didn't do too hot on my eating this week, so I am glad I worked out! It will probably even everything out and I wont lose any weight, but whatever, Ifeel healthier already! I splurged a few nights ago (the binge I wrote about) and then yesterday I went out for a drink with a friend. I had a sangria and a large salad. I only went over about 5 points, but still, that's twice this week that I did that. I have a plan made out for what I will eat in Fayetteville, and am going to bring food from the house here with me when Igo, but I know some Mama Dean's banana pudding or Whole Hog potato salad is going to be SCREAMING my name....Maybe just a taste??
reminder
Do you ever get frustrated because things are moving too slowly in your life? Many people don't realize that building a foundation for success does not happen overnight. It is a slow process in which you are constantly working and learning. After all, that foundation must remain strong, even in times of failure or crisis. This takes time! You may have to remind yourself that "failing" is only failure if you quit; otherwise it's a learning opportunity. So don't worry if your life seems to be moving in slow motion. Concentrate on building a solid foundation and learning from your back steps
My Plan
So I've been going at this weight loss/ healthy lifestyle/ exercise/ love myself shit for years now. Seriously, when will I just get it? I am a quitter and loser. The fact that it's a couple of years later and I'm here starting over is proof positive. I've got a million and half excuses as to why I gained the weight back but not a single one of them matters. I need to do this. I need to push myself and get over the quitter mentality. I've learned that I'm a miserable person when I'm unhealthy. If anything came out of previous success it's that knowledge. Being healthy makes me happy. Simple as that. I have to do this. MY life depends on it.
I am setting a goal for myself of 5% of my body weight at a time. Since I weigh 210 pounds right now, that means 10.5 pounds is 5% of my body weight, I think....math and I have never gotten along very well. I'll try something a little different this time and figure out what 5% of each new weight is too...maybe that will keep me more motivated.
Anyway, as I meet my goals, I plan on rewarding myself! I NEVER reward myself, I wont even buy myself the right kind of shampoo half the time because I hate wasting money on me. But self help is a great thing and something to look forward to. My rewards will always non food items and always something personal.
I will also make a meal plan each saturday night, buy the groceries sunday and stick with it through the week. I will be making Brian do this with me and he will lose more weight than me and I will get jealous but that will not make me quit like it would have in the past. I will be able to fit into my clothes again. I will want to dress up and put on makeup and fix myhair again. I will feel like a human being again. And I WILL learn to love myself FINALLY!
