Today I realized I don't need a new life. I just need to change one thing at a time. Seriously? It has taken me this long to figure that out? Also, it has been brought to my attention that tracking my food is a means to an end. Having a perfect food log is not my actual goal. It is a tool to changing my life. Somehow that has taken the pressure off having it perfectly filled out.
I have a trainer now. Her name is Jill and I absolutely love her. She is always postive. (One of the other things I have discovered about myself is- negative feedback does not get me anywhere. But positive feed back keeps me motivated. When I get negative feedback in a positive way, I can keep going. I know it might sound kinda stupid but it really does work. I learned this from my daughter's Suzuki training. They tell the kids 3 good things they did well and then tell them, if they want to make it better next time try doing this or that!... It works on me too!) My trainer has challenged her clients from Dec 12- Feb 12 to stay on track. All the positive things we do we get points for. We each paid $10 to join and if you win you win money! Why is money such a great motivator? Well so far I am doing well. My arms are very sore from all the wall pushups I am doing, and my abs are getting stronger. I feel as if I am getting stronger from the worouts. I look forward to going to her for awhile. I hope I can financially keep up with 3 times a week.
I learned in my Weight Watchers meeting of another member who posts on her FB page www (what went well) each day. I think this is a fabulous idea...here is mine for the past 3 days.
1. I drank a smoothie Christmas ever 2 hours before going to dinner.
2. I did not go back for seconds at the Christmas eve dinner or Christmas dinner.
3. I realized I have been eating to much salt and could really feel the blotting in my body.
4. I did a killer trampoline workout Thursday. I might keep that one up. It brings back a lot of emotional stuff, but it might be good to fight through that.
On the the last week of the year...here's to learning more about myself and digger deeper to learn what makes me tick.
