Monday, Oct 18 2010 - Happy Monday!!!
View HALE612's food & exercise for this day
Happy Monday everyone!!! I had a great week and survived the weekend.
Motivators:
I lost 4.6lbs this week. My clothes are literally starting to fall off me. That is always a great feeling.
I had someone not to long ago tell me Honestly, you eat like sh*t. And you know they were exactly correct. I did. I was working out some and not seeing any results from it. I wasnt feeling better or losing any weight. I have since focused on eating cleaner. And by cleaner I mean I cleaned all the crap out of my house and replaced it with mostly non-processed foods. Since then I have lost over 10lbs and I feel GREAT!
I used to have reflux so bad at night that I would have a terrible time falling asleep. Well I havent had reflux in over 13 days. Already improved health!
Im used to treating everyone better than myself. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was going to put myself first and start treating myself. So I pay myself $33 per day to not participate in self-destructive behaviors. So since I have started this little program I have bought myself two new pairs of running shoes and 4 new shirts. NICE!
Challenges:
I am supposed to take today off. But I have already done a 15 minute workout at work in our on-site gym with a co-worker. And now I cant wait to get off work so I can go to the gym and work-up a really good sweat. Not that Im not already sweating because honestly I sweat at the drop of a hat anymore. We are going to do it again this afternoon. I think Im going to listen to my body and if it says go Im going to go.
Honestly my motivation this last couple of weeks did not spawn from the greatest of intentions. Im working each day to maintain my motivation when I stop being angry. My plan is to continue trying new things; Im going to mix-it-up at regular intervals.
Eating out. Trying to figure out a way to socialize with friends that doesnt involve a plate of BBQ nachos at lunch or drinks after work. Working on this one.

And pretty soon that napping habit of yours will be a thing of the past.

Well I'm the better for having heard that truth. I do feel really great these days and getting better each day. It's amazing how much better I feel without knowing how badly I felt then because I didn't really acknowledge feeling bad. I already have so much more energy.

And by the way- don't be buying too many clothes. Because they aren't going to fit for long!

Well- the truth sometimes hurts, doesn't it. You were eating like sh*t. But now: I applaud you. You are eating VERY clean and you are already feeling better. YAY for loose clothing!
