After reading some of my fellow follow through blogs and reading the last couple of my blogs, I realized I was being really ungrateful. I also realized that I was going back to the same behavior for the same reasons. Responsibility and boredom equals bad attitude, which equals over eating. I noticed that whenever I have more responsibility than I’m comfortable with, I start to feel overwhelmed and I get moody and lazy. My workouts have been consistent now for 5 weeks. It is built into my mind as something I have to do. It’s not this exciting event anymore it’s a routine. Therefore, I’m bored so I start to resent it. The point of everything I am doing is not for an event. It is to change my life forever. I want to change my career and I want to lose weight and keep it off forever. This takes work and I have to accept it. If I can’t accept the extra work to change, then I have to find peace with where I am.
I need to do what worked in January. I tracked. I cooked and prepared 90% of my meals. I exercised 4 times a week. I read and participated in all my follow through blogs. I had a positive and aggressive attitude for life and change.
I didn’t go to the gym tonight because Ellison had to work late. I will enjoy the rest and stay positive. Tomorrow I will be home with Adjei again because my baby is sick. I won’t be able to go the gym but I will do squats, lunges, pushups and sit-ups.

I can SOOO relate to this blog. I think the reason I'm okay with WW now is because they changed the plan. It's new and different. Yay. But, what happens in a month? I don't want to know. How do we keep ourselves excited and not bored? Something to think about.
ReplyDeleteI think there are signs when you start to get bored. For me I start to tread in dangerous waters like not tracking little bites or eating some of my trigger foods like pizza. We do need to address this though. Maybe we can constantly name it in our blogs so we're aware. Bored!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I do. "One spoonful" doesn't count. As if...
ReplyDeleteLadies, I feel like I could have written both of your blogs myself. I am so thankful to not feel alone. T, this follow through club is the best idea...ever. Just saying. xoxo
