Folks, I’m struggling with this post; as I obviously am doing with this challenge, too. When I set my mind to something, I can normally get it done. What I’m realizing is that I don’t think I set my mind (and keep it set) very often.
The scale has not changed, which I should not find surprising. My diet and exercise schedule was pretty much a repeat of the week before. How could I expect different results? Given that the scale hasn’t changed, I haven’t really wanted to come here to report it, but the rest of my writing has fallen by the wayside. I feel like I’m failing at that, too.
That said, everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) else in my life took a giant step forward last week. My first big wedding went without a hitch. I made some professional connections that are going to jump-start my businesses. I added two more challenging yoga poses to the list of things I can do. Randy and I made a big decision about our future (talk about your cliff-hanger… you’ll have to tune in later to see what I’m talking about) and even discussed a fun summer vacation.
At the beginning of the year, I made my normal yearly strategic plan with 8,000 things to tackle. Over the last month, I have scratched out a bunch. Not because I completed them, but because I only have so much time in a day. I can do a bunch of things poorly or a few things well. But what if I pick the wrong thing to focus on if it can’t keep my attention?
I think this is where I am with the weight loss, too. I want to become more fit, yes. A lower number on the scale would be swell, but is it a priority for me right now? Or do I focus on adding in new yoga poses and healthy dinner recipes to my repertoire and just see how I feel when I look in a mirror?
We have three weeks left to go. How do you think I should proceed?
Have any of you struggled with this debate? If so, where did you end up?
