Wednesday Weigh In

Current Weight: 234

Total Pounds Lost: 25

I think I'm going to have to change the name of my blog to Two Years to 100 Pounds at this rate. But, I refuse to get discouraged. It's all about level of effort. You get out of things what you put into them.

I cannot seem to get back into my pristine ways. My eating attempts are half hearted on most days. My exercise has been inconsistent. What the hell is wrong with me? Where oh where has my motivation gone?

The thing is, it's hard to be 100 percent committed 100 percent of the time. I feel kind of silly complaining when I've successfully lost weight two weeks in a row. {imagine screeching halt noise right now} Seriously? Why am I complaining? I can't change the past. I can only effect the future. I've done well these past two weeks. Better in fact that the entire month before.

It's amazing to me how we tend to let failures (perceived and real) continue to haunt us way after the fact. I know that I'm not alone in this. It's dangerous letting these thoughts continue to haunt us because they will do whatever it takes to make us continue down paths we'd rather avoid.

So, today I choose to celebrate my 1.2 lbs loss and to pledge to keep up the good work. "Way to go Margar... You are a rockstar."

Cheers!
Margaret
