I guess I should keep a journal of some sort so that I may track how I am feeling during this whole lose-weight/feel-better mission that I am on. I already give props to myself for finding some cash every month to get me to the gym (which has been long overdue- had to leave my previous gym in April due to my new career and move to PA). Once I start going to the gym (and this is my third serious time), I tend to eat better because I think, "why am I going to eat crap when I work so hard at the gym?" I also think, "I better get to the gym if I am paying X amount to go there." Everything pretty much comes together. I eat better, sleep better, feel better. I manage my time so that I can get to the gym. And most of all, which is something I feel many of us struggle with, I give myself some time to just myself. I work between 60 and 70 hours a week, some times more. On a good week, I work 45-55. I have a lot of employees to keep up with. I try to help out my family when I can see them, and I come home to my wonderful boyfriend. But some times I just need time for me. You can call that selfish, or you can call it a necessity. Either way, if I am going to live the life I want to live, I think I deserve that time to work on making myself a better, healthier person.
In the past week I have been able to evaluate what exactly I want to accomplish. To be perfectly honest I could care less what the number on the scale says. When I weigh myself in on Saturday, I am not really going to care. I have a history of hypertension and high cholesterol and heart problems in my family, so I want to make sure I am healthy. You could have an amazing body but what does that matter if you aren't taking real care of yourself?
I also believe in planning. In my experience, most successful events happen because they are planned. This isn't to say that life should be thought out minute by minute, or that spontaneity should not be celebrated, but the reality of the situation is: if you want to accomplish something, it should be thought out carefully and implemented.
And plans some times need to be adjusted in the moment: "A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week."
Well my plan is this:
1) Eat right. Period.
2) Get to the gym 4-5x/week.
I'm not going to suddenly obsess over everything I eat or go work out like a fiend. I'm going to go at my pace. My rules.
And when I start tightening up and looking and feeling better- I can say, "I did it MY way."
