As with most things in life, we start off with great intentions and don’t follow through to the finish line. Well, maybe I should speak for myself. I started off feeling good and feeling motivated but one week in and I’m tired. I’m not necessarily tired of working out, the gym is my safe space and the one time that I feel like my mind is calm. There is just a lot going on in my life and I’m fighting off depression. One thing I have been consistently doing is having a daily devotion, getting my 3 to 4 gym sessions a week, and hitting my 10,000 goal. I only missed my step goal one day this past week. That’s a win!
I don’t know that I even want to talk about my diet. It has been in the pits. I ate out five days this week and only cooked at home twice! If you want to set yourself up for failure on a weight loss journey continue eating out.
You can’t out train your diet!
I’m currently fixing up my house, and getting rid of a lot of my dad’s stuff. Every time I see something go it feels like a thousand cuts are reopening the same wound. My dad’s been gone two months now and it still feels like yesterday! I’m working a full-time job while caring for my daughter and the farm. Most days I don’t want to get out of bed. I’m just currently struggling to adult! To add to the pot I’m on a journey to take control of my finances. I haven’t really taken a step back and really looked at my finances so now that I have it feels a bit overwhelming. By the way, follow my debt repayment journey my here!
Overall, I would say I have a good foundation to really lose weight. I just have to get control of my diet. The goal by my next check is to cook at home five out of seven days.
