Wow! What a wonderful Mother Day, I hope all my mothers out there had a beautiful day as well. This was an even greater week. Workouts are always tougher with Paul then just me, but I am not complaining because I have lost 10 lbs this week in total!!! I might complain a lot but thank you Paul for pushing me even when I don’t want to do it. I am still in disbelief that I lost that much in one week. But I did, and it makes me more determined to keep going. I do get discouraged a lot, but this is when I know the choice I made was the right one. There is no turning back now.
This also means that the food planning is working. I hate planning it all out. How do I know what I want to eat tomorrow or the next day? But not planning wasn’t working. It has also eliminated the quick fixes; short cuts and eating out which in most cases is not healthy for you. Planning also allows me to stick with my diet. I have no excuses. Now when I eat out, it is also planned. For instance my daughter took me out for lunch for Mother’s day. But I am not just eating out to eat out or because I didn’t plan ahead.
I have also decided to treat myself more lately. Anytime Fitness gave me a free massage at “The Massage Place”! Let me tell you the ladies there are wonderful! So I have decided that if I keep my progress up, I will get a massage each week. I need to reward myself. Mary, my massage therapist told me that once I get under the 300 lbs mark I will get a free one. So now I have even more motivation. I beat up on my body every day; so I should also be good to it. It’s okay to pamper yourself too right?
"The purpose here is to reward yourself for a job well done. This is positive reinforcement. The reward is an opportunity to stop and smell the roses that bloom as a result of your hard work."
Wow, 10 lbs.! Congrats, that's a huge number for 1 week! Keep up the good work! I enjoy reading your posts.
