One of my major supporters- Marie posted the title of this post and tagged me in it and especially today I've felt the pull of such a message!
I wanted to spend some time tonight to update and really think about some imporant weight loss things going on. Over the last month I'd said I've been a little inconsistant with the weigh ins... there was a gain, loss, and gain again.. This past Friday when I went I had gained... granted I had spent the last 3 days away from home, in a dorm room, where I had no access to a refrigerator or much food choices that were diet friendly so.. in the words of Aaron, "If you gained for the Lord, it's ok.. but get it off this week!"
This past weekend came and went and I'd be lying if I told you that I was on my best behavior. Two of my friends, Mary and Andy got married on Saturday. It was so evident exactly how in love these two are. I hope one day I can send that same message as well. I will say this, the reception was a blast and I had so much fun! Fun is good! Sunday we had Father's Day lunch.. and that dang Oreo dessert got me... AGAIN! I swear sometimes the weaknesses overcome me!
This morning I woke up feeling pretty crappy about some of the last choices I had been making in the food department and was DETERMINED to make the rest of the week the BEST of the week. I ate all my meals like I was supposed to, walked this morning with Becca, did my weight training and taught zumba. I was feeling pretty rock star and went on to Ingles were I made a rule to buy NOTHING that wasn't allowed on the diet because honestly if it's around.. I'm gonna eat it!
I cooked a yummy meal of grilled ahi tuna, grilled zuchinnin and mushrooms and onions. It was delicious. I was so sluggish all day and honestly I think it was just my body missing all that GOOD STUFF it's used to.
I want to leave you with some words of wisdom if you are starting on a weight loss journey, ending one, in the middle or just struggling with something.
It's hard... but who ever got to anything they really wanted without a lot of work and struggle. Every day it's a battle against my mind and my body. One wants one thing, and the other the exact opposite. One thing I know for sure is this: find yourself a support system. I don't care who it is... your mom, dad, grandparents, best friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse or a random friend at the Y but get them on your side! It makes MORE than a world of difference.
It's human to struggle and have hard times.. Life is tough but I promise that in the last especially 3 years I have learned that I am tougher.
Have a great week ya'll! I will make mine awesome!
Love to all!
