It has been a difficult past few days. Beginning with an unfavorable reaction to liquor, my weekend has been far less than productive in regards to weight loss and making positive choices. I refuse to settle for my behaviors the past 3 days. Tomorrow, I return to my regularly scheduled workout, plus one! I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow evening, but I plan on carefully selecting foods that are available at work.
The reasons surrounding my weekend include: a hangover lasting allllll day, donating blood, in which they recommend no strenuous activities, and getting the house in order before the work and school week begin. Not saying all or any of those reasons are good ones, but they are what happened. I still refuse to let this be the end of my journey. I just read that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Unfortunately, I fell off on day 19. I plan on getting back on track and finishing my 30 days strong. I've got one week to make up for lost time and hopefully see some encouraging results that keep me going for the next leg of my journey. Thank you Mom and TLJ for checking in with me. It's a mode of inspiration that is very effective for me. :-)
Highlights: none
Lowlights: poor food choices, little water, very little exercise
Goals: Water, exercise, better food choices.
21 days to create a habit??? Oh MY!! that is such a long time.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, everyone falls down. Even me, especially me!! What matters is that you get back up. Oh, and address whatever made you fall and how you can change/adjust to that for the future.
These things I say miss focused are to myself as well as to you. Get back up. Readjust and move forward. Its much easier to break a habit than to make one so GO AHEAD and prove to you that you can do this. I am rooting for you.
I am behind you.
