Are you really responsible for you??
This week has been a pretty good week. I am totally suffering from CRS!! (can't remember shit) I have forgotten to pay the house payment, forgot my son's DR apt that he has to have before his surgery Monday, forgotten to turn in some insurance paperwork at work, supposed to write up a workout plan for a co worker!!! Yep all forgotten!
Wow has it been supppppper crazy around here. Not so much busy, just stress. My son is having a few difficulties at school. I started out believing that he was a total wild child and running around like a banchi all day. Well not so much. I have been to the school this week and observed. HE IS AN ACTIVE 5 YEAR OLD BOY, I admit it. Needs to learn some patients. But nothing a little time and persistance can't take care of. As I mentioned earlier, preparing for him to have his adenoids out on Monday. My hubby has been out of town for work. I started teaching fitness classes again on Monday. And we're all coming down with this fall head cold CRAP!!
But on the up side, my eating has been going very well! Except last night. I did eat a bowl of captain crunch berries and almond milk at 9:30 at night, dumb!! I weighed in this week at 212. I am getting close enough to the 190's now that I am getting antsey and I know if I follow my own rules it will only be a few weeks and I will be there!! I hit the lowest of 206 before I went back up to 226. At 2 pounds a week I should be under 200 by Halloween, however I know I can do more than 2 pounds a week. So...bring on October!!
I am always hearing people talk about diets, exercise, weight loss, diet pills, shakes, fasts, blah blah blah. So here's what I ask them, but often only in my head, How many of these have you tried before? Why didn't they work? Your still sitting here wanting to lose weight. Probably weigh more than when you started the last diet.
And why again did it NOT work???? Yes, uuu huh, sure, yep. I've heard them all and said them too. Let me tell you why it didn't work. YOU didn't stick to the plan. YOU didn't follow the instructions. Weight loss and a healthy lifestyle doesn't just happen. YOU have to make it happen. Yes, I can say this. Yes, I have been morbidly obese. Yes, I have tried all the easy ways out. No they didn't work. Yes I am strong, because I have been weak, Yes, I am fearless because I have been afraid, Yes I am wise because I have been foolish, Yes I am successful because I have failed, tripped up, stumbled, crashed and burned. But what is different this time?? I stopped looking for what was going to make it happen and started behaving like a healthy happy person. I can give you all the tools I have put together. I can give you all the tips that you need. I can tell you exactly what you need to do but if YOU don't do it, IT WON'T WORK!!! You want my meal plan, go ahead, take it. You want my exercise routine, I'll write it up for you. You want to know how I take care of me and my family, I'll tell you. You want to know how I fit in time to prepare healthy meals, I'll show you. But what is the common factor in all of this??? YOU. I can not make you do it. YOU have to do it. So here's to taking responsibility for yourself. It's no one elses fault, it is your fault your where you are now. So YOU take charge, YOU put in the work and then and only then YOU will see success! Have a great night!
