I know that I've mentioned struggling the last few months, but I think I've been in denial still. I think that the only way to truly get back on track is to admit to exactly where I am now. In the last month I've even found myself avoiding the gym because I didn't want my friends to realize that I've gained weight back. Well, if I admit it to the world, there's no longer anything to hide. I can head back to the gym and start getting back on track!
From my highest weight, I lost 45 lbs. Since December, I've gained 22 lbs back.
I'm certainly not happy about those numbers. Especially when I realize how much more weight I could be down right now if I hasn't fallen off the wagon the last 4 months! But it's time to stop hiding from it, and beating myself up about this all! When I'm beating myself up, all that accomplishes is helping me to get farther and farther from the path that I want to be on. When I'm down on myself, I tend to sabotage things even more. I just give up and stop trying!
It's time to pick myself up off the floor, dust myself off, and get back on track. I KNOW THAT I CAN DO THIS!!! Time to believe in myself!
So one of the ways I plan on motivating myself is by making a small goal. I am going on vacation in exactly 13 weeks. My goal is to lose 32 lbs before my vacation. That's about 2.5 lbs per week. Wont be easy, but at the same time it's VERY doable!
I could also very much use some accountability. I would love it if over the next 13 weeks if my friends would send me a text, or a message on Facebook, or a phone call, or a question at the gym. Just ask me how I'm doing on this goal. I'll be 100% honest with each and every one of you. It's the only way that I know to make a change. I could really use that accountability and support! Thanks in advance!
And for anyone that reads this, that has ever falling off the wagon when reaching for your goals. This is the perfect time to get back on track. Don't beat yourself up over losing a few steps. Be proud of what you have accomplished. And be proud of the courage it takes to admit that you've made some mistakes and that you are ready to continue on the right path.
You CAN do it Kelley! Everyone struggles with a lack of motivation now and again (hand raised right here), but keep going.
ReplyDeleteOne idea is to post your daily workout's, knowing that someone is reading (even if I don't see you at the gym) then you know you have to be accountable as well as you can see your progress!!
You go girl!
