In part of my daily reading I read a chapter that reminded me that this is a process and if I focus on the distance between where I am and where I want to be, it can be demotivating. I need to focus on taking a step at a time and thinking about the small mini-goal that is on the…

Weight 209.2 Difference (1.6)! Cumulative Difference (1.6) I feel very good about having lost more than my one pound goal! Will start there Reflecting on the week: Areas I could improve: All in all a good start. The old me would look at this and conclude ok this will happen and forget about the process it took to get there…

So I didn’t do the workout last night. I had the time but was too tired from waking up early that day. Lesson learned – I should have fit it in at lunch. Or I need a new mindset when it comes to working out in the evening – the just get it done even if it is a minimum…

This is a day that I can prove to myself that when my routine gets upended, I can still do what I plan to do. I was successful in doing quite a bit of cooking yesterday to set me up this week and into next week – the freezer is a good friend! So I need to take advantage of…

My plan today is as follows: I added the ‘continued’ blog as I caught myself thinking of the theoretical again and the idea of losing weight – not the actual plan of action – I need to continue to ensure my state of mind is on the hard work and plan to get there rather than falling in love with…

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…

I woke up this morning and did a 20k bike ride. I love to bike and this is an activity I need to get back to. It was windy which made me debate the ride – I need to just get things done so jumped on the bike and did my route. It took me an hour and 1 min…
