Monday morning 7 am and it`s time for a progress report. I step on the scale and it confirms that I have lost some weight again. But from the looks of it I`m stuck in a see-saw battle. I started at 198 pounds and after one week went down to 194. After a football weekend where I only have 4 beers I climbed back up to close to 198 and again this Monday it 194 lbs.
I am well within the goal still and I will not lose hope because of these results. I will continue and hold on for a change. I have had the habit of giving up on things if I did not get results or found it too difficult in the past. Not this time.
One example of this behavior is the upcoming holidays. Currently I workout after my girl has left for school for I have the whole house to myself and can workout without interruptions. In 3 weeks its going to be the Christmas break and that means no school for my girl. In the past I would stop working out finding an excuse and promising myself I would resume after the holidays.
This time not a chance. I will get up earlier and workout before any one gets up or I will exercise around my family and deal with the interruptions. I am dedicated this time. I told a friend that my goal was 160 something and she responded "That's way too thin" . I don't agree, I think if I got to 168 or so it would be close to my ideal weight and it would be easy to maintain.
I have changed my mindset where I don't say "I'm not that fat" to "I'm overweight" and since I don't see myself as an overweight person I can will myself to slim down.
I'm off for now, so have yourself a great day.
