Nov 24, 2013

I had a tough end of the week last week.  It has been incredibly stressful at work--just a lot going on and not enough time to get it all done.  Then I only lost .75 lbs. and I was, in truth a bit bummed out.  I've been working out, and feeling it, so just got frustrated.  And I'm stressed about some household things as well.  So all in all life happened.  And I didn't respond as well as I should eating wise.  But not a poorly as I have.  Last Friday I was so tired, I went to bed at 6:30 and slept through until 5:00.  And I was constipated and that always makes life worse. 

But I am back at it again today.  As I was exercising, I realized I needed to reaffirm why I exercise, and it can't be just for weight loss.  I need to keep focused on quality of life issues.  I get so tired of all the mental and physical energy it takes to stay fit.  Sometimes, it is like, "why bother?  Lots of people are overweight and they do okay."  But then I remember who I am and how I can so easily give up and let myself go.  Then it is weight gain time.  I don't just maintain, I gain.  So do I really want to be back in the same boat, angry with myself for essentially being lazy about long term issue?  No.  I don't.  So I just need to go back to my self talk and keep on top of things.  Sigh.
