Fudge, no exercise, food festival for our immigration unit in American Studies, my period, weight gain. These were just some of the hurdles of yesterday, so I figure better to have them all rolled into one big, bad day and move on. The key is moving on, I suppose. Old Chellis would have thrown in the towel (long before this, by the way), to revisit the goals some other day. Not the case any more. It is HARD to not let the bad stuff consume me and keep me from my ultimate goal of living a healthy life. But I got up today and did the elliptical. So there.
I have been feeling a little less enthusiastic about all of these changes, keeping up with the daily exercise, etc. A rut? Possibly. But I'm not letting it stop me from doing it. Why? See above.
I also don't want to lose the momentum of actually seeing movement on the scale in the right direction. I saw 151.6 this week, folks! I did buoy up a bit, but I saw it so I know it's possible. I will be pushing myself past 150 after I get there, which will be a challenge for me I think. Then again, maybe not.
I do need some good ol' fashion support and encouragement, though. Especially with the diabetes and maintaining with that. My goal for today is all numbers under 200. If you're so inclined, just shoot me a comment of encouragement. Thanks.
I'm so inclined... :o) You've done such a great job with all of this, it's so encouraging to watch. We all have those days...good for you for still getting on the elliptical and not giving up! Good luck in breaking 150! I'm sure you'll do it.
ReplyDeleteI just revisted my blog and saw your comment from over a year ago! I'm so glad I've found your blog and I'm hoping to get back into writing and blogging... I fell off the wagon there for a while!
ReplyDeleteI hope you met your goal, but boy that can be a tough one, especially when you through hormones and stress into the mix ;) oh, and life and mothering too!
I look forward to reading more!
Thank you, Amy! I think I'm past my little blip. One bad day would have been far more damaging say, a year ago. Thank you for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I'm glad you finally saw my comment. Hope you are managing okay with your busy family and health. I really find it helps me to stay accountable if I write about it. Thanks for your kind words!
