Enough is Enough

Despite the title of this post, I know I cannot make any guarantees, but I have vowed to make a more conscious effort not to let the frustrations of this "body transformation" get me down.  Enough is enough.  I am tired of feeling bad about myself when I am working so hard to make so many positive changes in my life.  I am working my butt off, and the results will come. As my mom said this morning, even if you don't see the results on the scale, your body is still changing. 

Change is hard.  Regardless of the reason behind it, or the over-all goal.  But after having re-read what I posted yesterday, I felt bad.  Not bad in a "pity party" kind of way, but I was angry at myself for being so hard on myself. 

I want to start making a list, maybe once a day, maybe once a week, but a list of all the things I'm doing right.  My accomplishments.  I frequently make "to-do" lists, and even though checking off the items  symbolizes accomplishing the task, I think I can do more.

Especially on the days when it is hard to look in the mirror at the body I am fighting to change, it would be nice to know that in spite of it all, I'm still doing the right things.

Just something to think about this week...
Stay motivated, stay fabulous

The Weight of the World

I've had a rough week.

Despite my efforts and waking up at 6am every day to ensure that I got in a good work out, my weight hasn't changed.  I knew I would eventually plateau, but i didn't think it would be so soon...I am still crossing my fingers in hopes that it was just a fluke, and that this week will go better, but I'll have to wait and see.

What was worse, my parents surprised my sister and I with an AMAZING spring break excursion that requires some new clothing, and when I went shopping today to try and find some things, it was a total bust.  Nothing fits right. It is unbelievably discouraging, especially after how hard I have been working.  I'm far from giving up, but I am certainly lacking confidence, and I don't like it.

Fortunately, my mom is coming to see me next weekend and she will be my personal cheer leader, and help me ward off some of the disappointment.

Now, off to bed so I can continue my morning workouts without a hitch.

Despite the frustration, stay fabulous

Busy, Busy, Busy

After a very trying week, I am anxiously awaiting the weekend.  I get to go home for a couple days, back to my amazing support system and intend to come back to school rested and energized.

Although I have been keeping busy, I am still avidly working at my weight, and still trying my best to stay satisfied with the foods I'm eating.  I must say, as long as I put in time looking up recipes and use a few different ones a week, I'm pretty happy.  It isn't perfect, but I'm managing.

Due to the busy nature of the week, I don't have much time to devote to a post, but hopefully everything will be back under control soon.

Stay Fabulous,
xoxo
