Looked in the mirror

I defintely did not like what I saw. I haven't been consistent with exercise lately so I feel huge. Amazing how you can "feel fat" not just be fat. Sometimes, the feeling can affect how you view your image, even when there's no weight difference.

I guess I am just so down on working so hard for weight loss and seeing poor results. I haven't found a program that works for me and one I want to stick to consistently. It's depressing to look back here at my posts from May. I was 221. Now I am 241. That's after working out for 6 days a week for 6 mos. Ugh.

Here's to a better day tomorrow.

waiting game

Okay. I have been waiting for a workout DVD set from my fave fitness guru since July. I found out yesterday that it shipped last night. Wahoo!!

I really want to get this right though. I want to hit it right. With the right attitude, the right approach and something I can stick to. In order to do this I MUST do my mental work. I must address the reasons why something that tastes good is more important that being healthy for may family, my boys. I need to really see where I want to be and I need to finish that vision board that I have been prepping for for a few months.

So, I probably have until next week this time to look at all of this I have been putting off for months.

Here's to the next week!

Wow, how did December happen?!?

Time flies.

I had every ambition to be under 200 lbs for my 40th birthday in January. Didn't happen. Well, I could have a leg removed and lose 75 lbs, but I like being able to get around, so there's that! So I had a goal. But I couldn't stay focused on it because I wasn't successful in my exercise & eating routines. I could not get the strength training plus minimal interval cardio to work for me. I actually gain weight on that kind of exercise. I lost fat, but who wants to gain when you are already over 230 lbs. Yeah. No.

So, I know I am going to turn 40 within just 20 lbs of my highest weight ever. Not where I wanted to be, but I don't have enough time to fix it. So picking myself and moving on.

What's next? Some serious vision work is in order. I really didn't apply what I know about motivational theory to my last drive for weight loss. This needs to change.

I need to take the steps to creating a vision and my plan is complete a vision board by mid February.

Would you like to join me?
