Life is not Perfect

I am so proud of my girl Angie, she is really doing well!

As I stated earlier this is really a journey for me to both shed mental and physical fat. I am so sick of being the fat girl. This morning I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and hit the gym at 5. I did 35 min. on the treadmill and then came home and showered so that I could get ready for work. I felt so good getting up and going to the gym, sure it was hard to get up but once I was up I knew I was doing the right thing and that was just motivating to me. I no longer want to not be able to go on an amusement park ride because I am too fat and yes I have had to get off of one of those before (talk about EMBARRASSING). I want to be able to fly and not worry about whether I will fit, will I be comfortable, etc. The emotional trauma Isend myself through being fat is just really ridiculous. So I wonder why I do it? I guess if I had the answer to that question I would be worth a few million. I am sure there are tons of obese people that would love to know why they are STILL overweight. I know I am an emotional eater but I am trying so hard to just divert my energy and attention in other directions because lets face it there is always going to be something going on. Life is never perfect.

Angie really mentioned goals and I definitely have some goals to set for myself. I think having a goal and working towards it is imperative. They set us up for success and success breeds self esteem. My first goal is to workout everyday in April. As of right now I am 6 for 6 – YAHOO! This weekend is a holiday weekend (Easter) and I am headed out of town to meet up with an old friend so I know it could get a little dicey. But I have a plan – I am going to workout Friday morning before I leave and then Sunday when I return and Saturday I will workout either on the treadmill at the gym in the hotel or the parking lot for a walk. Regardless I know I will do something all of those days. Traveling can also throw a wrench in the eating plan but I am going to just try my best to make good choices.

That is all I got for now...

  1. Great post!
    Well done on getting your gym visit in early. We are doing well on our walking challenge too, I am heading out for a late afternoon walk with the dog today.
    Regarding your weekend trip, this is the kind of thing that I also worry about. I think there will always be something going on in our week that will try to trip us up but we have to face these situations knowing that we can make good choices. The SP blog you linked me to the other day made me realise this. That lady had faced all sorts of different occasions and not once had she failed. She went into them knowing she could make good choices and she was prepared. It really made me think that this can be done. You can do it this weekend and I can do it on my caravan week next week!
