Weekly Update:
Exercise: 4 30-min walks in my classroom
Weight Loss: Still to be continued. :)
So. Puppy.
I love him dearly. But I may have hit the side of his kennel last night in anger. He was screaming!!! Then I got up and went out to the couch. Where I slept for an hour.
Granted, the little guy only screamed for about two minutes. But it was enough to piss me off.
And... when I pick him up to take him out to potty, all the love comes rushing back. He's just so darn cute and cuddly.
Seriously- I'm not going to injure him. Really.
I just may think about it at 2:30 in the morning when I have yet to get more than one hour of solid sleep and have to be up at 6:30.
Or maybe this is all a funny joke I'm telling you guys... Maybe.
So. Exercise.
Less this last week due to some bug I've picked up and am fighting off - not to mention the addition to our home. The bug has yet to vacate, so I may not be doing much more than my classroom walks this week either.
So. Weight loss.
Well, I was able to stuff myself into my old 12 jeans! Woohoo! Muffin top? Oh yeah. Still! They zipped up. And I had to wear something to the vet - MacDuff peed on the other ones on accident.
It's not the same as feeling that I'm really back into them, but it is a small bit of inspiration and motivation. Progress is happening people!!!
And let me tell you...
It's esay to forget the progress I have made over the last two plus years:
This change required hard work
Perseverance,
Sacrifice,
and Dedication.
Yes, I regressed some. Gained back 30 pounds.
But that does not a failure make.
Remind me to look at this when I melt down again.
So tell me: How do you keep yourself motivated? How do you let the little things go and focus on positives?
Hey Nicole! I love reading your blog. Whenever I see an update on Facebook, I click on it and check it out. :0)
ReplyDeleteHere's a random motivational story:
The other day I was jogging (slowly...) and thinking about how the calories I was burning wouldn't equal the calories I had eaten that day, and I was irritated with myself that I hadn't jogged in a while and lost some progress. Anyhow...I looked down, and some random person had written a message on the sidewalk in chalk: "remember, no matter how slow you're going, you're still running circles around the people who are sitting on the couch." It made me laugh and feel good about the fact that I was up, outside, and exercising. - Destiny
