Life is hard these days……in so many ways. And I’m a stress eater. As you can imagine, I want to eat everything in sight. I have been trying to be good, but it still looks like I put on about 2 pounds……you know my friends Evil Pound #1 and Evil Pound #2 that I haven’t been able to shake since Christmas?! Not a shocker, but so not a motivator, either. Yesterday, I did walk from work to the bus station, which is about a mile. I haven’t done it in a while due to the heat and rain, but yesterday it was so beautiful outside. I really enjoyed the walk and am looking forward to fall when I’ll be able to walk outside more. Until then, I will just keep telling myself “You are not hungry, find something else to do”.

Stress is a KILLER on weight loss. It’s so easy to fall back into old habits. I know I’ve been doing that lately myself.
I just got Fitness magazine in the mail and there was a section on motivation, with normal people sharing what helped keep them motivated. The one that stuck with me was the who girl told herself (at 200 pounds), “I am thin.” She lost weight and it allowed her to do the things she didn’t do because she thought she was too fat. I liked that mantra. Self-fulling prophecy and all.
You can do this lady! I know you can. Focus on ONE thing this week. Pick whatever you want. Tracking religiously, walking, getting all your water, eating your fruits and veggies. And do it WELL. I bet you’ll have good results. And it’s easier to focus on one thing that 20.
Love ya!
