My downfalls - when it comes to my diet - is that if I want to eat something, and I am not focusing on my real goals, then I will. Nobody is holding me accountable for what I eat - and if someone were, then I'm sure I'd eat just perfectly.
When I did p90x, and did it for 90 days straight, you all held me accountable by just reading my blog. I knew that if I missed a day, you would all know, and I wouldn't have REALLY completely P90X.
SO... Andrew has offered to keep me accountable for sticking to a healthy lifestyle. :) I'm really excited about this. The plan - for 35 days (the day before my birthday) be absolutely perfect. And with him watching me and keeping me accountable, I have more drive to actually stay absolutely perfect. I'm hoping this is exactly what I need to conquer this hurdle, and reach my goal. He has me writing in a little journal that I keep in the kitchen, and is going to track my progress for me. Every night, we'll have a little pow wow and he'll tell me how much I suck or how good I'm doing. The mere thought of him knowing I wasn't absolutely perfect, drives me to be absolutely perfect. I hope this is what I need to drop these last ten pounds.
Yesterday, Eric and I swam. It was only 950 yards, but I did it in 17 minutes. I've gotten faster! :)
Today, I went to my yoga class. LOVE IT. And tonight we'll bike, and maybe I'll try to run some. We'll see. I still need to go get the things I previously talked about.
So you pesky ten pounds - SEE YA! :) Hopefully this is the change I need (because frankly, I'm getting quite sick of going nowhere, and IIIIII am the only one stopping me.)
Sounds like you're making a lot of progress. I always see people in the P90x forums and such saying not to look at your scale, and to just hold out.. because weight is just a small fraction of what your health really is...
ReplyDeleteGood luck w/ the diet!
Okay, I know what happened to my comment on Thursday's post . . . I guess I skipped the second part (the validation code word thing).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I totally understand what you mean about not making enough progress. Any progress is good, but sometimes it's just NOT enough!
Oh, and I've been trying to hold you accountable and I still can, but you'll actually have to post what you eat here! ;)
