So this weekend went fair. I fell off of the wagon a couple of times but I am learning and I am still going. There is no stop in this girl this time. If my schedule gets messed up oh well I keep on trucking. I am not giving up and neither should you. No matter what that scale says...and that is what brings me to tonight's topic that is on my mind...
I see posts in general from people who have lost a pound in a week and then beat themselves up! Why? You work hard, flawless or not you put in the effort and if the scale goes down then celebrate! If it doesn't measure! If you lost 1/2 an inch...CELEBRATE! No results but boy my pants seems to be looser...CELEBRATE! Why do we put ourselves down so quickly!
This is NOT The Biggest Loser, Extreme Weight Loss, I Use to be Fat, etc. This is REAL LIFE! You have a HUGE prize waiting on the other end for you, your health. Those people you see on TV are they uplifting and inspirational? Of course! I love those shows and I use to watch them with a big bag of chips and a coke and sit there and cry. Now I watch them and know hey I can do this. But there is a hug difference. While they are on those shows that is their job. You see an hour and they lose 10 lbs! You don't see the other 8 hours a day they are in the gym non stop, the shin splints, the aching bodies, and you do see some of the injuries and to be honest I wouldn't want to do that.
Be happy with the time you are able to get up and moving. I do it 25 mins a day. I am proud of that because before I was doing this I was doing 0 mins a day. It is the small victories that turn into big ones. Cherish them all. Reward yourself...just not with food :)! I know at the end of my 10 week challenge I am getting myself a makeover so that I can show off what I have done. This girl is even gonna get a spay tan for her after picture!
So the moral of my rambling is...this is your journey, in real life. You are doing great and we all have good and bad days but in the end you will succeed!
xoxoxo,
Kelly
