Planning...

...I am still not doing this much and know this is affecting, not only my progress but also, my mental outlook. I am mentally drained and that is not helping the whole planning and "healthy lifestyle" outlook either.

SO how does one move from this point and begin back down the road? More exercise, more movement.

The weather is getting better here in my part of the world and that is a good thing because I am seeing signs of cabin fever as well.(one more thing added to the whole mental challenge right now)

Today we will be on an outing to the "city" for an eye appointment, a little mall fun and the dreaded monthly grocery shopping. That in itself usually lends itself to more movement, more activity but also brings about some real challenges because we always eat out, well not always, last month I was really good and actually packed not only lunch but snacks and dinner as well(it was a really long day).

SO I am in the process of mentally rehearsing what I will do today. SO many options, so many temptations. Where should we go, what should I order, how will I stand up to this challenge?

Does it ever get easier? I think it will eventually.

I need to get back over this number on the scale hump. I got over this hump,once before and know I will get over it again, and stay past there, not to return, it just is hard, so very hard.

  1. You can do it! Just look back on your progress and press ahead knowing that you've come so far .. just one more step and than one more step until you look back and see you've gone farther than you imagined!

  2. What an amazing goal and journey. I can only imagine how hard and mentally challenging it will be but you've come so far. Take it one day at a time.

    Have a great trip into town.

  3. Remember the famous weight watchers question...

    How do you eat an elephant? - One bit at a time.

    I understand where you are coming from and often ask some of the same questions. I think the problem begins when we stop asking.

    If we don't ask ourselves how we can do it, I think it means we stop thinking about it all together.

    Don't be afraid of the questions, just enjoy the journey finding the answers.
