Well it's been a while since I updated everyone (all three of you) on my progress : )
First of all, the biggest loser challenge at work has come to an end. I didn't win but I did manage to lose exactly 20 lbs over the 10 weeks which put me in 4th place! (out of 30 people!). That's pretty exciting. So a few of us at work decided to do it again.
I'm sticking with a healthy weight loss goal of 20 lbs in 10 weeks although I'm going to work towards 35 lbs. I'm really going to have to work hard and push myself. Although I don't have any problems keeping up my new love for long walks I have once again floundered at keeping up my morning workout ritual. I NEED to start going to bed a little earlier so I won't miss that extra hour of sleep in the morning.
The real hurdle for me getting up early is seeing Caleb still sleeping. Two things in me war against my thoughts of getting up. First, the desire to just cuddle up in his arms and sleep until his alarm goes of and the second is jealousy... why should he get to sleep if I have to get up? Yup, I'm pretty messed up but the first step in conquering these issues is to admit them, right?
So I'm declaring here right now that Monday is going to be different! Monday morning I will get up and do my work out diligently. I will not convince myself that I should just cuddle with Caleb and I will not be jealous that he gets to have an extra hour of sleep. It'll be hard but I will succeed...... maybe I can convince him to get up with me : )
Awesome! 20lbs!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow did Monday morning go?
My favourite (but not sure if it's healthy) way to overcome jealousy is to think of what I have/or will have, that the other person doesn't... it could be based on the benefits of the workout too because that might help you get out of bed.
You're doing great and you look great too!
