I was pretty much ready to write an email saying I was pulling out of the competition because of lack of motivation, and results, but then I logged onto this blog one more time just to check it out. I don't think I will quit thanks to you ladies! I guess I am having a hard time keeping track of the points which is causing discouragement. I know the different things to work on- sleep, water, logging food etc., and I just forget to do them (okay I am actually blaming it on having my six kids home from school for the summer, I don't have a moment to think!). But, I will keep on trucking even if my points don't total hardly anything at all.
I have found when I don't eat a snack at night (or an entire bag of tortilla chips with salsa) I feel so much better when I wake up in the morning. My body isn't starting the day all slogged down. I have also really learned to enjoy my morning walk/run with a good friend most days, the other days with a few of my older kids. When I don't get the walk in I feel a little off all day. I also have learned to listen to my body more and can definately tell when I have over done it in the junk food category. I know this challenge is good for me and these things I am learning will go forward with me, even if my weight doesn't drop suddenly or my clothes get too big all of the sudden.
Thanks for the help ladies!
The battle might be lost but the war isn't over!
ReplyDeleteMotivation is a tricky thing. Some days I just play mind games...winning and losing on certain levels, chanting nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!!!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate with the late night eating- that is the hardest for me, especially when I can't sleep! But its so true that when I can fight it, I feel so much better in the morning. Great reminder for me, thanks for posting.
