There’s this saying, “Your body can’t eat right or workout if your mind won’t let it”. That couldn’t be any more true for me the last 6 months of 2015. My mindset was off and I was dealing with tons of stress, lack of motivation, carelessness and quite frankly, I had no hardcore desire to get back on track during this period of time. During that period of limbo I gained 30LBS!
January 2016 I made a vow to myself to regain control of the things that matter most. One being my physical well-being. Part of the process of regaining control was to shift my mindset and way of thinking. I talk about this in detail in my last blog post titled Preparing Yourself for Long-term Weight Loss. I am now down 20.2lbs! I’m not finished but getting closer to my goal everyday :-). During this process I found out how much I enjoy competing with myself. It’s fun and more challenging! I won’t stop at the 30lb loss. I’m on the road to build lean muscle mass, get strong and lean out! Not sure what weight that would get me to and I honestly could care less. My goal is to be and stay healthy. The scale only matters to me right now because I need to lose the weight I have gained.
How has your weight loss management been? Are you tired of the yo-yo weights on the scale? Join me and let’s both conquer the scale! #TeamSummertimeFine2016
