It was difficult to wake up this morning, I was tired and wanted to sleep longer…. but I promised myself that I would go to the gym. I knew it was just mental sabotage, and since I made it a point to go to bed early I had already gotten 7 hours of sleep. I got up. I did it. Getting out of bed was the first step and as a result of that step all others subsequently followed.
I am tired of being fat. I am ready to change my life.
I worry that I´ll fail so I try to use it as an excuse to not try. I figured I can´t fail if I don´t try. The irony of that statement is laughable. I will FAIL if I DON´T TRY. Period.
I put in 30 solid minutes on the elliptical. It hurt but I did it. I wanted to quit at minute 15 – but I didn´t let myself. I pushed forward, motivated myself with thoughts of my goal, with thoughts about how all the work I´ll put into myself will show once my body starts transforming.
After the gym, I stopped at the grocery store and shopped for healthy veggies and other food. Having the rights food readily accessible at work is key. I got invited to go to Thai for lunch – one of my favorites. But I was armed with healthy lunch and in turn was able to turn down the offer to eat out. I´ll still eat out here and there, but right now my main focus is getting into the swing of things. Committing and in turn making this a healthy habit.
Dinner was delicious and healthy. All of my food choices today were healthy. I feel proud.
As far as hunger, I felt a little hungry some time after breakfast, but I calmed it with grape tomatoes until lunch came around. I made it a point to eat slow today, to chew my food very thuroughly, I find that doing so makes me feel more satisfied.
I am going to bed feeling a great sense of accomplishment. I feel proud of myself. I feel happy.
