O.K., I know I'm behind. It's no secret that I've been lacking motivation lately. I've indulged in a few sweets, and I've been snacking on carbs a little too much, and all of this has had me feeling a little down.
Anyway, today I picked up my "You on a Diet" book and started reading again, and that has helped reignite the spark a little. It motivated me enough to measure-up.
Before I give the results, I should explain that I've decided to start sucking in all the way when I measure my waist. I decided that is the only way to have a controlled test. If I suck in as much as I can, I'll always know that any reduction in the tape measure is actual loss of fat. So, this week's measurement looks drastically smaller, because I am REALLY good at sucking in. Drum roll . . . 37 1/2 inches.
Now, I'm going to have to make it a priority to keep reading so I fan the flames of my motivation and really get going again. Conveniently, I'm approaching the part of the book where you're actually supposed to start the 2 week You Diet plan that helps you change your habits and learn healthy eating. While I had skipped ahead and tried a lot of these changes already, I think it will be good for me to kind of start anew when I get to that chapter.
My goal for this week is to exercise for 30 minutes each day. Dr. Oz wants us to have a "buddy" who we call after we finish our daily exercise. I haven't been doing that. What I'm going to try instead is to blog every time I exercise. It may just be a simple sentence, but it will help me stay accountable and I think it will also help me feel proud of my accomplishment.
