I know I could lose more weight if I changed my diet, but I have barely made any changes at this point because I just want to workout and get into that habit, the diet can come later....maybe ;)<br /><br />I didn't work out last night, I took a mental day. Instead I watched about 4+ hours of different reality TV shows and curled up on the couch....I NEEDED that. I will workout today because I want to, not because I feel I have too (ok, a little because I feel I have too) but taking those days to do nothing, or mornings to sleep in, or having those treats make me happy and I will not give that up!!<br /><br />GOOD LUCK and if this is something you WANT to do then I am sure you can do it!!!Wrestling Kittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215343504044584811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986668000927573743.post-71811806897039944412010-02-22T17:38:53.317-05:002010-02-22T17:38:53.317-05:00Amen, G&G! That's what I always do, too, a...Amen, G&G! That's what I always do, too, and why I always fail (when it's all or nothing, I usually end up at "nothing). This time, I've had my initial success because I HAVE tried to give myself a break, on both working out and eating. I think it's more sustainable/realistic for sure. But yes -- this was just a new way to kick myself in the pants. I promise, no more self-flagellation. :)Written Permissionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133312942502714627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986668000927573743.post-70487975696814931442010-02-22T13:31:04.105-05:002010-02-22T13:31:04.105-05:00I think what damages me when I try to make working...I think what damages me when I try to make working-out goals like that is ultimatums. And I know that you're trying to really make a commitment, this is just from my personal experience: The pressure to HAVE TO do something every day crushes me to death and I never make it. So do it every day but give yourself a break. :( The goal is to feel better about yourself, not beat yourself into the ground. Because we all mess up. It's ok for you to be tired and sleep in one day. Just get up and get yourself motivated for the next one.<br /><br />(Hopefully this isn't terrible unappreciated assvice, here, if so , really sorry) I just feel like I could have written this myself a million times and I don't want to to be so hard on yourself. It's a positive change! Think positive, banish "cheating" and "failing". It's a little bit of a mental shift. You're making changes in your life for the better and negativity needs to get the hell out, even if you take a day out.<br /><br />END THE SELF-FLAGELLATION, LADIES!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187151463075117941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986668000927573743.post-67827762015091992202010-02-22T13:22:59.433-05:002010-02-22T13:22:59.433-05:00I hear ya.
