Such
a powerful statement. To me, this means that I have to control the
obsessive thoughts I have about whatever I’m obsessing over…and I have
to get a grip on my emotions
because I’m eating myself fat again. I’m not being negative or
defeatist at all. I’m not coming down on myself either. I’m just
saying I need to get a handle on myself. Therapy is a tool that I plan
to utilize…but, because of financial reasons, I won’t
be able to utilize it until after October 1st…that’s when
I’ll have money on my flexible spending account to pay for my co-pays at
the therapist. So, until then, I’m just going to do my best on my own
to work on cutting down the unnecessary eating
(eating when I’m not hungry and continuing to eat after I’m already
full).
Your
mind is a powerful. When they say “mind over matter,” they mean it.
You can overcome/achieve just about anything just by BELIEVING that you
can. I haven’t been applying
this to anything in my life. I have been being defeatist…sort of…I’ve
been very passive in my efforts to do anything the last few months…just
squeaking by. But it hasn’t worked. If it had worked, I wouldn’t have
regained the entire 33 pounds I lost last
year. I can’t let the negative thoughts that come up in the back of my
mind happen. If I do, I’ve lost before I’ve begun and that’s really
not an option for me.
I’ve
got a game plan, I just need to DO it. I need to start doing it and I
need to stick to it. I’ve said before (last week, I believe) that I
want to run 3 times a week and
then on the other 2 days I workout, I want to do a mix of gym, swimming
and cycling. For this week, I’ve run once (Tuesday morning) and will run one more time (Friday morning). Tomorrow, I plan to go to the gym, do my jump box workout and hit the pool for
10 laps. Saturday,
I want to ride my bicycle to the gym and do the jump box workout
again…but this time I’ll also add my TRX workout to the mix to get some
upper body strength training done as well.
