I've been a procrastinating poster as of late. I was/am frustrated with myself, I have not really progressed at all with my weight lately. My significant other moved in and he's a big cookie/sweet eater so that's not helping matters, can I blame him?? No, I can't but I can at least ask for his help in changing our home environment so I can be more successful.
I also made some excuses, you know the ones..."I'm tired" "PMS is acting up" "I'm sick" and a variety of other excuses. But now I don't have the option of continuing to excuse myself, two reasons:
1. My 5K race is in 17 days....so I'm running that whether I "feel" like it or not
2. I'm not getting anywhere standing still
I always pride myself on moving forward, but right now I'm standing still and not getting anywhere fast. So in an effort to kick-start myself, I changed gyms. And I'm logging, whether I like it or not. Even on days when my food consumption is 30+ points over what it should be. Tracking my food forces me to own the truth about my food and forces me to look at it critically. I do not have a good relationship with food, I still think I need more than I really do, but I have yet to identify why my relationship with food is still not fixed. I didn't have a traumatic event as a child, my parents loved me, I did well in things that I tried. I never am the smartest person in my family or group of friends and sometimes that made me feel inferior, but since childhood I've accepted my lack of traditional brains because I know I'm good at other things.
So tonight I'm making a new playlist to take to the gym tomorrow and I've got a log for my workouts too, so here we go. That's the nice thing about life, we can always improve it.
