Look back and smile
This week was pretty bad. My 1200/1400 calories per day was a fiasco. I stuffed my face with cookies and treats. My daughter needs a snack in first grade at school. So I bought some treats for her and ended eating it all. Yes, I can't have things like that at the house. That's it.
Then, I went boxing 2 hours instead of 3 (my goal a week). My wrist started bothering me so I skipped the 3rd hour. Well I could have gone walking. Nope, I stayed home and all I could think about was when hubby and I could watch more vampire diaries episodes (I am on season 2).
I got super depressed about my failure this week and what I want my body to look like. I told myself that it was ok because I have come a long way from not working out for 15 years to even doing boxing or walking for 1 hour easily.
I am going to look back and worry less about how much I have to go.
I still manage to burn 1000 calories for 1 hour of boxing. That's pretty good!
What is your motivation to exercise?

Sticking with a routine can be so difficult sometimes. I find that if I take a days break I'm okay, but if I go for longer than that I don't get back on track.

I love brisk walking and spinning at the gym. Last year I lost 22 lbs. and kept it off, by not eating carbs and sweets and by alternaiting this two work outs. Kepp it up dear Isabelle. The boxing sounds amazing! Have a happy Sunday.

Just stopping by to see how you are doing in your journey. I am the same about having things in the house but I am getting better at being able to resist it. I remind myself that there are consequences for eating the snack and I go get my fiber bar if I feel I must have something. I admire you and you are an inspiration for me. I am learning to think differently about food but you are out there working out and boxing!!!! Sounds amazing to me. Go get'em. Hugs, Beverly
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!!! Thanks so much. You are so sweet! Xo
DeleteI am having a bit of difficulty in continuing on my weight loss journey. I have lost 9 pounds in 6 weeks. I am not being as good as I should be. My real issue is not exercising as much as I should be. I must continue to remind myself that it's not a race but a lifestyle change and lifetime journey.
