Okay, so I took a week off posting. Did it bother you? There was one comment looking for last week's post but no responses to is. I was actually testing you. I sat down to write last week's post and then thought. What will you do if I don't write? Will you decide that means you can slack off or will you press on, drink your water, add your 10%? So what did you do?
I wonder if you realize how important it is to motivate yourself and not to rely on anyone else to do that for you. In some ways it's nice to have something to follow and some encouragement but really it's self-motivation that will cause you to continue for life, not my weekly blog or a friend who is trying as well or whatever is your, dare is say, crutch.
You need to want this for yourself. You need to find your own motivation to be healthy, eat healthy, be active, look fit. For this next week I'd like you to make a list of all the reasons you want this. Could be as shallow as looking good in a swim suit (although I like that reason) to as serious as to not have another heart attack. Find your motivation and put it somewhere you'll see it often.
Hey, and post to let me know what DID you do this past week.

Hmmm, I did slack off last week but it didn't have to do with your lack of a post. I started slacking the Thursday before your non-post. I bought an exercise bike for $8 and will begin using that on rainy days. I'm still drinking water, tracking my food and such. I'm getting there.....slowly but surely. Last time I checked I was 17 pounds down. I have learned not to go by how I FEEL about my weight but let the scale show me, because apparently, I have a pretty skewed body image view...which I am working on as well.
I'm still moving and drinking water. It's becoming a habit. Which, I guess, is the point, right?
The weather is nice now, so outside for a lot of the day, which just autmatically means more movement overall, and even low-key gardening is better than sitting inside.
I missed a couple of days, but that's cuz I was sick - nothing to do with lack of post!
It's nice to see that you are still moving forward. Way to go on the $8 bike purchase. Now even bad weather can't be your excuse to miss exercising.
And yes, the point of this is for it all to become a way of living rather than something you have to work at remembering.
Keep on going!
