Is it sad that I am so excited about breakfast tomorrow that I want to go to bed now just so the time will go by faster? When did my life get so dull? I really am excited though! My parents went grocery shopping today, and since they only go about twice a year, they really loaded up on the goods. I know I don't like living here, but it does have its perks. So what if I am almost 30 and living at my parents....ok saying it that way is depressing. Moving on....they bought lots of good stuff! I will be making omelets with sauteed spinach and mushrooms, tomatoes, canadian bacon and goat cheese! I might put a bit of avocado on top mixed with some salsa. Either way, since I use egg whites, the point total comes to about 5 and it is going to be huge! Dinner is exciting tomorrow too...grilled sirloin steaks with veggie kabobs and a spinach strawberry goat cheese salad. I think I wrote about that in my previous post or somewhere. Man! I need to get to bed so I can get to eatin tomorrow! I think I have finally embraced my total inner nerd. What else am I supposed to do? It's a saturday night in Russellville.
TOMORROW IS WEIGH IN DAY TOO!!!!!
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!
