I am here to admit, that my motivation is flagging!!! I have been in the Blues for the last several days. I hate this place!!! I've just started Physical Therapy, to get rid of this nagging pain in my groin area, and to get my range of motion back in my right hip and leg. To give you a good picture, when I am seated in a straight backed chair, I can cross my left leg over my right, but not right over left. I cannot get the right leg up and over without some pretty awkward maneuvers, and a ton of pain. PT is going to help with that, and I can get in the pool the same day, because the PT office is in the same building as the gym I go to.
I did get a great shot in the arm today though. I read a journal by DairyFarmersWife. Her outlook and attitude really got me this morning and made me realize that I was on the verge of sabotaging my diet!! The hubby just picked up the most awesome potato chips.......and of course I had to try just one. The advertizing for Lays potato chips are really right. You absolutely cannot eat just one. The good thing??? I only ate one serving of those chips!!! One serving!! Yay me for restraint!! One serving is only 17 chips!
The bad thing about it?? I ate them at 10 pm! When I read her journal this morning, I realized what I was doing. I know I don't restrict myself of what I eat. If I want it, I eat it, but i only eat one serving, or I cut that down to maybe half a serving, Just enough to get that taste, but not go overboard and eat till I'm uncomfortably stuffed, I still have 2 dilly bars in my freezer. I had eaten a few of them, one each day. I think one day I ate 2. See...starting to do the sabotage. The bad thing here, I didn't even realize I was doing it. It just sort of slid right in there!!
Now I know its there, and will kick those sneaky little pesky cheaters thoughts in the keester and out of my head and diet! I am going to work hard on my attitude, and on loving myself as I am, and I am going to be, in DairyFarmersWife's own words, I am going to be amazing!!!
Go read her diary for today.....
DairyFarmersWife I got a renewal and great sense of purpose again!! Thank you DairyFarmersWife, for getting me kick started again!!
Hope everyone has a perfectly awesome day today!!! And keep on with the diet battle!!! I'll be here for backup!!
