Happy Sunday!

I challenged myself to finally gain some consistency last week, and I finished the week with workouts on six out of seven days (felt lazy on Monday) and my food diary completed most days, too.  I didn’t like working out some of those days (okay, I didn’t like it any of those days), but I loved actually being able to log my workout and put that star on the calendar for each day.

On Saturday morning, I weighed in with just over a half-pound loss.  Tiny, right?  Except that if I hadn’t decided it was time to get consistent and make some changes, that would have undoubtedly been a gain, not a loss.  So I will take it, and quite happily!

On tap today is most likely some strength training, plus trying a new recipe.  I want to get back into the habit of cooking something on Sundays that leaves me enough leftovers to pack my lunch at least a day or two the following week.   Otherwise I end up finding excuses to not pack my lunch and hit the drive-through.  Packing my own lunch will mean I eat healthier, and eat less calories, too.

Right now it’s super quiet in our usually rambunctious and rowdy household.  My husband and the kids are still snoozing.  I woke up early for some reason and am just waiting for them to start stirring so we can get our Sunday started.

Happy Sunday!

Consistency

On Sunday, I threw my body into acute shock by actually working out.  I was crazy proud of myself the rest of the day.  Then on Monday, I blew it off, slacked off, and skipped my workout for no good reason, really, except I just plain didn’t feel like it.

My biggest issue for quite some time now has been getting back to any kind of consistency.  A workout here and there isn’t helping much.  Shocking, right?  Logging one meal a day and then forgetting about my food diary for a week isn’t accomplishing much, either.

Come on now!  I have lost a good bit of weight in the past.  I know how to do this.  I am fully capable of doing this.

*swift kick in my own rear*

Take that!

Yesterday I worked out with weights, and I have logged my breakfast so far today.  That’s  a good start.

My goal for the rest of this week: get consistent.  Work out every day the rest of this week, and log my food, every bite, every sip, the rest of the week too.

I will never see results with what I am doing now.  I’m just flat sick of being fat, overweight, out of shape.  I want to change.  I need to change.  I have wasted enough time.
