So I brought in reinforcement...the little black book that I can keep in my purse and track my calories. No, I don't plan on being a calorie counter for the rest of my life but I feel that I need this now.
I am still struggling with negative thoughts like "What if I don't lose any weight"? I know it's only been five days of working out and perhaps I blew it over the weekend and didn't realize it...I'm not sure. I just need to see some type of loss. I will be happy if that scale tells me 197lbs this week....that's fine for me. I just need to see the number change!!! Please!!!
In the past, I haven't had success with exercise. I can exercise for an entire month and lose a total of 5 lbs but diet change seems to give me more change. I don't know...that's just my body and has been my experience. Now, cardio has yielded better results than weights. I want to give this a real try, though. I haven't exercised long enough in my opinion to just throw in the towel. Now, if I have been exercising for 3 to 4 months without results, I will be very, very concerned. Hell, I'm already concerned. I need to push these negative thoughts out of my mind. Go away negative thoughts! Go away!
God, please give me the strength to continue with or without instant gratification!!!! (Hey, I'm going to post that one on my facebook)
Anyway, I plan to get on the scale a few times this week (official weigh in is still on Sunday) just so I don't get any surprises on Sunday...not good for me right now. If I see that nothings happening, I need to make changes sooner rather than later.
Wish me a better week!
