Motivated Monday
Posted by Froggy on April 14th, 2008
Thought for the day:
There aren’t enough crutches in the world for all the lame excuses.
That being said, I’m starting my week off with a positive mindset. I know I can do this…this fitness thing, weight loss can be mine. It really is my choice. I have made all of the same excuses that anyone else has made. I still do when I am having a lazy day…and I admit to having more of them then I want or need to have!
I was packing my lunch this morning and making a mental note of how many points I was bringing along today. I bring my breakfast and lunch and snacks. I like to eat at night, and I’m a nibbler in the evening, so I try not to bring too much. Not sure how to stop those hunger pangs at night…any advice?
I find myself having to really plan out what I will eat all week. I like to know in advance, none of this wait and see for me. I don’t really keep a schedule, but if I know now what I’m making tonight it saves me time. Time is the one thing I feel like I don’t have enough of since I began going to the gym all the time….but before that I was heavily involved in my daughter’s marching band…and I will be again soon….
I have signed up for more to do with the band, the plan being to be as involved in it as I can (because it is really fun!! - I LOVE IT!), and to be out of the house and away from the TV. I’m a couch potato if ever there was one, and I love TV. I don’t really think there’s anything wrong with that as long as it doesn’t get in the way of being fit.
Anyway, I think I’m just rambling now…I am motivated to keep losing, I tried all my summer shorts on yesterday and couldn’t find any that fit…they are literally falling off of me and I think I will be doing some shopping soon. A friend suggested I try a thrift store while I am still losing, but I think I’ll try a mix of new and used to get me through….
Does anyone have any suggestions that will help get through that “I’ve lost a lot but I’m losing a lot MORE” time? My wardrobe is in need of serious help right now!
