GRRRR....

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

I've been so tired lately, but i've taken on alot, an extra part-time job, training to walk/run a 5k. Still trying to maintain my regular exercise and eat right, it is alot to think about and get done in a day. I am a bit overwhelmed right now and i am trying to maintain but i'm hoping that after I get used to my new demanding schedule i'll be able to do it all. I don't want to give up but i'm exhausted!

  

Whew!

This morning I didn't want to get up, I was so tired. But I got up anyway. I didn't really feel like working out. But I started warming up anyway. I kept telling myself, "I don't want to do this!"
But I did it anyway. Then I got halfway through and I said, "I'm so tired, I just want to quit." But I pushed myself to finish anyway. Then when I got done, I felt better, like i could take on any task. Sometimes you have to push yourself to do the things you may not want to do, It is the only way to complete the job. It's so frustrating when you doubt yourself and don't believe that you have what it takes to get to the end. Or if it is taking to long to reach a goal it is so easy to give up and not push yourself. To complete the journey you have to continuously push yourself, do what you don't believe that you can do! It isn't hard to get frustrated when things don't go the way you believe they should but that is when we have to keep at it, give ourselves a pep talk and push to the end. Happy Wednesday Everyone!

2 weeks

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Today marks 2 weeks since joining sparkpeople.com, I can feel a difference, I can feel how hard i've been working and how much it is slowly changing my life. Thank you to those that thought of this site and for those who are motivating others and themselves. I want to stick with this program for a long time because it is the one thing that has worked for me so far. Each day now i look forward to doing my exercise, a month ago i never would have said that, what a difference two weeks can make!

I am just a little bummed out today, got ready to do my workout, i was totally tired today. Each movement i made i was off balance and awkward. I'm not sure what my deal was but i got about 30 minutes into what I had planned to do and I just couldn't go anymore. Defeated I sat down and took a drink from my water bottle. I wanted to push myself to keep going but it just didn't happen. Then it occurred to me i hadn't taken a break this week, so i readjusted my fitness tracker to what i did not do and made some oatmeal for breakfast and will try again tomorrow. I want to push myself because I want the weight gone but I have to keep in mind that I have a limit and i was at my limit for today, there is always tomorrow.

Absolutely you need a rest day. Great job for trying to stick to your plan! But your body is telling you to rest. It happens to the best of us! Report Inappropriate Comment

So Far So Good

Saturday, August 11, 2012

So this week has been a good week for me. I feel motivated, strong, and feeling so much better, its amazing what difference 2 weeks can make, when you are eating right and exercising almost everyday. It truly makes me wish I had started long ago. I am so very happy that I found this website and got signed up and that there are so many good people on here to help motivate me and that i could return the favor. My cravings are still there for certain things but i'm working through it and taking it one day at a time, and it is getting easier. Today i did an hour on the wii fit Plus and had so much fun doing it and tonight we went bowling and it was so easy and i know it was because of the exercise i've been doing, even when sometimes i want to stop i keep pushing myself and get it done, its awesome! If you are struggling, trust me I know how it feels but you have to keep going, keep it up as long as you are doing it even if its not alot well atleast you are doing something. It is not hard to get discouraged but just know you are not alone, i'm almost 300 lbs. and i have a long way to go but i know in the end it will totally be worth it.

Great job!! I'm working on my fourth week, and get very discouraged some days, but I do one day at a time, or sometimes 5 minutes at a time, like they taught me in AA. The cravings do get better. I use to be willing to take a 30 minute walk just to get to the drug store to buy chocolate. Now the sweet stuff doesn't seem worth the effort. As long as I don't keep it in the house I'm good. I was 282 at the beginning of my weight loss journey, but hit a plateau that lasted a year so I decided to try SP to get motivated again. So far, it seems to be working!! Hang in there..it will all be worth it. Report Inappropriate Comment
