Making time for what is important requires that I think that it is actually important.
I’m struggling with that. I LIKE to do what is easiest and I enjoy quiet and a homogeneous life in all honesty. Change is a wave that interrupts life, and makes it rocky, unstable and difficult.
I’ve been half heartedly changing in small little bits, but then sailing back into calmer waters to linger before hitting the high seas again. Its not doing me any favors, other than making life more and more difficult.
Getting up early has been a struggle since I don’t like going to bed early. So I’ve effectively made both going to bed AND getting up unpleasant. I did 25 kettle bell swings this morning, I could have done more, but I didn’t get up early enough.
This weekend I was at an all day training event for the throwing events that I do in the summer for highland games. I was beat from it and poor planning coupled with extra people to look after meant that when it was time to head out to our evening party I was hungry, thirsty, and tired. I over ate all KINDS of bad stuff for hours. Ug.
So no surprise when today's weigh in was: 287.0
I’m so full of salt and bloated and on my period. UG.
That being said, I’m not 100% happy with my efforts, however I am the only one here that can make me do anything so I know where the fault lies.
Then I think… I have made changes, they are not as fast as I would like, but there ARE changes. This week has not been great – but that can change. No, that WILL change.
25 more swings tonight, and I’ll be up and at it again in the mornings. More water, better choices for lunches, earlier bed times and earlier mornings. This is what I will do this week.
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by to perv on my blog, as I fight myself to change my old habits and make new ones to get fit. I don't get it right all the time, but I'm still here and I'm still working at it.

My homage to the 14lbs that I lost on Allan’s DDDY Challenges. A watering can for the vast oceans of water that I have learned to drink and love every day.

The period is reason enough to feel crappy. Don't beat yourself up about the weekend. You are on the right track! Change (to achieve weight loss) is like the most difficult thing in the world, in my opinion :)
Hope you have a great week!
I agree we want what feels safe, security. And when we face the reality of what are security lies with, our weight, that should be (and is) frightening. Change is not easy but it is something we must do. Keep going forward. I do think you're doing awesome with the kettleballs. 50 is way cool! This is a new hour, a new moment, a new day - make it count. Don't look back - go forward. :)
I have an award for you - come on over.
