| “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” |
I don't know what it is but for the last couple months I have not been trying as hard to get to my goals. I've been sadly doing everything to sabotage everything that I've accomplished so far. I passed the 134 pound mark sometime in late June - now it's November and I am back at 143 pounds. Tell me why such things happen. I don't understand. Yet, I know things have to change. Again.
I am gonna start over from the beginning. I joined the running room half marathon training. I fell down pretty hard on my knees yesterday - had the whole ordeal: blood and swelling, the whole bit. I want to keep running - it drives me to get stronger.
Today I don't feel strong. I feel weak in mind and spirit and especially body. I don't understand where I went wrong - but I know I have to change this mentality that I am keep succumbing to first. I have a goal - I've had this goal for way longer than I meant to. It's one of the first goals I've had since my childhood. To lose weight and be slim. I am still working on this goal many many MANY years after. It's been too many years past that I've held onto this dream - I need to make this a reality.
I am back at square one. I need to incorporate the following:
1. Healthy Eating:
Vegetables, Whole Grains, Fruits and WATER
2. Portions:
Eat the right portions of food & eat it slowly
3. Movement:
Resist the modern sedentary lifestyle
4. Mental Health:
Practice gratitude, positive thinking and believe in the good of things
5. Mental Strength:
Identify opportunities to be strong and resist falling into bad habits
6. Consistency:
Making an everyday effort and commit to creating a Healthy Lifestyle
7. Preparation:
Pre-planning your day, co-create your life, or end up somewhere unwanted
8. Education:
Study best practices, knowledge is power - to drive you when emotions struggle
9. Conscious Living:
Record your day's meals & act's, understand your behavior & body - meditate!
10. Take care of your external body:
Hair, SPF, moisturizer, massages, facials, makeup, style, good hygiene, etc.
Breathe!
to the stars,
uma
