I would like to – scratch that – will continue to focus on action rather than having this nice plan and thinking that thinking about it is sufficient.

Last night, because approaching the weekend, I gave myself permission to stay up later than planned watching tv and having a drink – all that did was lead to a sluggish morning and delaying my workout.

There are a few things I have been reading up on/learning. One area is future self thinking – caring about who your future self is, why she is different and taking responsibility for creating her. I continue to let my future self down as she is my current self spinning. I have to be able to trust me to do what it takes to create future me. I have to think of a few versions – while 52 week from here self is 52lbs lighter, my future self next Wed July 8 wants to step on the scale and smile, seeing 1 lb down. My end of day self wants to know I ate right today and did my Body Pump workout as planned. My future self tomorrow am wants to not be sluggish and wants to be refreshed, continuing to take on this challenge. I can take care of both these versions of me.

I will have a test this weekend – my sister and family are coming up. I need to both focus on blogging and doing my morning routine and not drinking too much with them to ruin the progress.

This isn’t going to be easy – there are some solid areas of current me that need to evolve – but I am committed to making progress and being successful.
