Last week was a bit of a struggle for me. I gave in to old habits for a couple days and basically binge ate the way I used to. So I was not upset at my result this week, since I just wanted to at least stay even. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by my result considering how many terrible days I had.
I also did not meet my goal of exercising at least two days last week for 30 minutes a day. But I did get a lot of exercise on Saturday helping our friends move, so maybe that counts? Ha, not really. I never did find the willpower to force myself to exercise. So I will set that goal again this week. I feel more positive about this week so I am hoping nothing derails me from this goal.

So. This week I will try really hard to ward off any desire to go back to bad habits, and exercise at least two days for 30 minutes each day. I just need to keep reminding myself of my reward (hopefully) at the end of all this - a baby and motherhood! I know babies are not easy so I'm not imagining this dream-filled world where everything is perfect, but my desire to become a mother has been extra strong lately. I think it is probably due to the fact that so many of my friends have children, and I am about six months from turning 30. I don't exactly have tons of time to dilly dally before we need to start trying!

I am impressed that you own up to not sticking to the plan last week and want to get back on it. It is really hard to change habits. It is a lifelong job to be healthy.
ReplyDeleteain terms of exercise, you might consider having a goal of 10 minutes a day. You might feel guilty if you don't exercise 10 minutes a day. Keep trying to be positive and look at what you want to accomplish and you will be able to do it. I know you will be successful.
Love your mom's comment! She is so right. I was thinking the same thing as I was just reading your post - that its pretty cool that you are owning up to getting off track last week and that you sound determined to get back on track again this week. It is very hard to change habits, indeed. I have the same struggles myself these days.
ReplyDeleteI also like her idea of 10 minutes/day for exercise. It may seem less daunting than a half hour. And therefore, will be more doable and will help you meet your goals more quickly.
Keep up the good work and good attitude, Katie! You are doing very well!
