Okay, so last week was a fail for me also - I didn't have any specific day where I blew my diet, but I was over on my calories every day and didn't lose any weight... and I was on the funkiest sleeping schedule ever, so I didn't even make a proper challenge blog. However, on thursday I got back on the bandwagon and have been keeping it together, doing exercise (mostly walking and a little weights) every day and keeping the food to a minimum. (it helps that yesterday i just didn't bring snacks to class, and today I've been busy cleaning my apartment from top to bottom).
So, I want to hear your thoughts on this week, BB1. Did you recover from the epic fail weekend? Or did you get discouraged and just keep eating bad? We've discussed before how a small setback does so much more damage because then you get depressed and can't even bring yourself to try anymore.
SOOOOOOOOO here's a two-parter journaling challenge for next week.
First of all, I want you to write down what you really enjoyed about those weddings that you've already been in. Was it seeing the bride and groom so happy? Was it being with your friends? (Did your dress-size really set you back emotionally, or were you not focused on it for most of the night because you were paying attention to what was really important?) I worry sometimes that you put so much pressure on yourself to lose weight for these weddings... I just want you to keep dreams that don't set you up for feeling like a failure.
With that in mind, I want you to re-evaluate your dreams and give me a list of goals you'd like to achieve by summer. Things like "I want to be able to run a 12 minute mile again" or "I want to find the secret key to fighting off my chocolate cravings" or "I want to have a list of healthy foods I can bring to family dinners so I have something to eat without blowing my diet every week". If you still want to be focused a little more on the weddings, maybe try for a goal like "I want to be able to dance for an hour with my husband without getting out of breath!" (I have no idea about dancing, that's probably a ridiculous time period... maybe like 20 minutes?)
As always, do one of the P90x or insanity videos and keep walking at lunch (proud of you for that one, girl!)
