Struggling

Man, consistency is crucial to weight loss.  Not that every meal or choice has to be perfect, but the slightest shoulder shrugg of I don't care and things can get out of hand quickly.

I had about 2 solid weeks of mostly clean eating and getting some activity in.  However, it was all undone over the last 4 days of mental retreat.  On top of that, I have lost some of my drive to prepare food and fight for myself.  It is so easy to push back healthy choices for one more meal. But then it happens again...and again.

I have to say no to myself, or the calendar will continue to change and I will be older and more out of shape.  It has to be urgent or their is no critical motivation!

Here I go Again, But Not of my Own

Another beginning.  I have really struggled over the last year to create some consistency in my health behaviors.  Off and on, up and down.  It has been really difficult to find the switch to turn it back on. 

So, today is the day for a new start.  I am going to reread some of what I have published earlier on this blog to encourage, remind and jumpstart my want for these behaviors.

New Start - Again

I have said it before.  Weight loss and management is a struggle.  Life changes and the struggle disappears; life changes again and focus disappears.

So again, the trials and tribulations have out weighed the successes.  But failure is not an option, my health is the simple goal.  The healthier I am, the more fit I am.  The more fit I am, the more active I am.  The more active I am, the trimmer I am.

I want to be trim.  I need to be healthy.  230.8

Ooops, I Did it Again!

It is frustrating not to understand the "why" a little better, but I am losing weight efficiently again.  It has been 2 years since I have felt this at ease with my diet and even more with exercising.  There have been stresses, and job changes,  and "ex" issues, and new girlfriends; you know, life has happened.  And it has gotten in the way of my goals! - really, I allowed it to get in the way.

But as of right now, I am very happy and content.  I am pretty much living without stress and in a really good and balanced place in my life.

I started a new job in December, and since that change I have chosen to change things. Starting on December 16th, I have lost 10 pounds.  It has been almost a month, so that is not a huge weight loss number, but it did include the Holidays. And momentum is building!

What can we accomplish in the new year with our health and wellness?  Nearly ANYTHING! 220.2
