Last week, I decided enough was enough. It was time to stop wallowing around, dragging myself down, gaining more weight, being unhappy but making no effort to change anything. I worked out at least 30 minutes every day, even when I didn’t feel like it (which, admittedly, was pretty much every day!)
I stepped onto the scale Saturday morning, excited to see how much I had lost with my newfound commitment to exercise…and instead saw that I had gained 1.5 pounds.
I felt betrayed. Seriously, body? This is how you repay me for taking better care of you? I felt like it had been a huge waste of time to work out at all. I was irritated and disappointed and more than a little discouraged.
*deep breath*
Okay. That didn’t go the way I wanted it to. But the scale doesn’t change the fact that I made a decision to improve my health and my happiness, and I stuck to it. I worked out, even on days when it was the last thing on Earth I wanted to do.
This week, I am going to continue the workouts. I am also going to get back to logging my food and drink on LoseIt and pay more attention to what I am putting into my body. Instead of letting this drag me back into that ditch, I am even more determined to see a loss next Saturday. Just watch me!
