Finding Focus

I know. I'm late again. But let me tell you, I have been swamped at work. You're lucky you're getting anything this week.

Moving forward:

While I didn't do as well as I had planned/hoped last week with my nutrition plan, I will still able to bring the number on the scale down a bit. Looking at the past couple of months, it seems that since the Transformation challenge ended, I've been doing a lot of back and forth.

I could be so much further in my journey if I hadn't been slacking off so much, but here we are today, looking for more ways to get back the focus.

The plus side of all of this is that I have not missed a gym session. So I'm still right on track with that.

I've tried so hard, planning out my meals, cooking all my meals the weekend before; it just seems that I let my emotions and moods get the best of me. I make rash decisions and eat without being mindful of my stomach, or my wallet.

Oh yeah, the no-spend challenge, I did so well with it for the first 3 weeks then fell off on the 4th. Oh well. I did learn a thing or two from it though.

Back to my emotional eating...

I can sit here and say "I need to get a grip on this!" but the fact is that, those are just words, and no matter how much I want it, what I REALLY need is to get my mind right!! So here are my plans:

I do all the planning and cooking ahead of time, so all I really need to do is follow through. Remember that I have already spend all the money and time investing in healthy food choices, so all I have to do is go heat it up and chomp it down!

I also try to find motivational pieces to help get me through the hard times. Quotes that will remind me that there is another option for my emotional eating outburst, or that I need to bring myself back to being grounded on my plan. I like to look at theberry.com for this and their Daily Motivation section.

Lastly, I'm getting serious this time as I've signed up for another DietBet. Well, actually I signed up for 3 DietBets. So for the next 4 weeks, I have invested money into myself to lose another 4% of my body weight, and make sure that I get that money back for my hard efforts!! I know that I can do it, and I think this was the final straw of motivational pieces to get me focused!!

So for the next 4 weeks, expect DietBet updates!

Toodles!
