Day 6: Made it through the weekend

Monday, January 04, 2010

Usually the weekend sucks. And by that, I mean they. are. horrible. I get bored and then just starting eating anything that is not nailed down. But this weekend, was different... I wasn't thinking about boredom or giving into temptation. I just wanted my new life. I just wanted to succeed.

I will do this! I can feel it.



Tonight's workout was a little tough. When I arrived, I made the mistake of looking in the mirror and then became very sad. I felt defeated. I went into one of the fitting rooms and gave myself a "pep talk," i.e., a "Quitting is not allowed" mantra. And then I went and kicked some ass. I guess that was my first real challenge AND I didn't give up. Small victory, but I'll take it!

Day 4: Keep Going

Saturday, January 02, 2010

This is day four and I'm still hanging in there. This a great accomplishment for me because usually when I'm on vacation I eat out of boredom. But I haven't felt tempted at this point. Last night I had some sugar free candy for my sweet tooth. Other than that, I am hanging in there.



Just finished a workout. It felt so much easier today! Sweet.

Day 3: New Year, New Life

Friday, January 01, 2010

New year and three days in... I am feeling positive. I haven't felt this positive about a new year in a long time. I really think this is the year I will make it happen.

Okay, I did really good today. Getting through the workout was tough because 1 hour in the gym gets boring after 30 minutes. I am patting myself on the back for not giving up and finishing the workout.

And a pat on the back is well deserved after even ten minutes in a gym! Report Inappropriate Comment

Day 2: Still Feelin' Good

Thursday, December 31, 2009

So far so good AND still feeling motivated. I did my morning workout on the new mini stepper. That thing works up a real sweat. I like this idea of splitting the work out between day and night for right now. Before I would do marathon workouts at the gym and that probably led to getting bored.

Stay motivated.

I can only do 10 minutes on the mini stepper. Now, after reading this, I will make more of an effort. Report Inappropriate Comment
