This week I will get in 10 cups of water...I will drink 4 of them before noon. Crazy I know but if I don't get that much fluid in before noon...it's an uphill battle.
This week I will do the Richard Simmons chair workout. Why do I have trouble getting this in? I think it's because I think I need to instead of wanting to? Really, it's hard to do things we should do as oppose to want to...it's like I should clean the house...think of all the excuses we can find. So this week I want to workout 4 times. I know I do...I think...lol!
This week I will try to find three positive things to tell myself each day. I have been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, not with my weight loss because I have lost over 60 lbs in 8 weeks... but with the fact of how much further I have to go and how far I let this get out of control. I want to begin the process of forgiving myself.
Next
What don't you try to make your goals SMALLER? And then BAM once you do it it's all good and you are accomplished? I started this is my head LONG before I posted and my workout goal was just 2X...at first I was like that to "easy" but then I thought, yeah when was the last time you went/??
So TELL ME...what are 3 POSITIVE things =) I wanna share in this with you if you don't mind...

Thanks Ms. Shell
1. Everyday is a victory...everyday that I follow my planned eating and drink my fluids...it is one more positive step in journey. I tend to focus on how far I have to go rather than simply what I did this meal or this day.
2. Every time I allow myself to cry, or vent my frustration instead of thinking about something to eat is good thing. It is okay to express my emotions. It is a good thing when I pick up the phone and call someone instead of simply feeling bad because I am always the one people come to instead seeking others out.
3. For me mobility is a big issue...so taking two steps is more than I could do 3 months ago. Using less pain medicine and stretching my legs instead of reaching for pain meds. I need to encourage myself that in three months I have cut my use of pain meds by 1/3 to 1/2 each day. That is a good thing and something I rarely congratulate myself for, rather I focus on the fact I have to use them at all.
I guess you could say my goals are to nurture myself more and criticize less. Does that make sense?
