Sometimes when you're trying to lose weight, you get into a funk. You eat the same breakfast lunch and dinner. You do the same exercises, you wear the same clothes, and after a while, you start to get bored. Not only does the soul get bored with such routine, but your body adapts. My body, for example, is getting far too used to what I'm doing. Wake up, eat cereal, sit around for an hour, go work out for an hour, come home, get ready for work, go to work, come home, eat dinner. Exciting, isn't it?
Well, I'm sitting here watching Ruby, and her therapist suggest to make 5 changes that might be a reminder of who you were and what the extra weight represented. So, being inspired by that, I am going to create my own "5 things" list. THIS, my friends, is my list of 5 things to get me back on my weightloss track!!
1. Stop eating candy! Lately, I've been on this candy kick. Not chocolate or anything, but chewy sprees! OMG, those are my weakness. Almost everyday before work I've been picking up a bag! Do you realize how many extra calories/points that adds?? Cara, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?! So, this is my goal, NO MORE CANDY! I'm going cold turkey here folks!
2. Water, water, water, water!! This has been something I've been trying to go for the last few days, is drinking more water. I'm so bad at it! I hate water! I hate the taste, I hate the boringness, I hate everything about it! I've gone a couple days with out water before! Bad, I know, but that's why it's my goal! I'm going to be drinking AT LEAST 64 ounces of water a day!
3. Get rid of my clothes! I have so many! And it's almost overwhelming! While they fit, the stress of having so much clutter does not help the weight loss! Clutter = stress = weight gain!
4. Changing up my workout routine!! I think I'm getting bored with my workout shin-dig! My goal is to find some totally awesome new, fun exercises and circuits to do that keep me want to keep going and going!!
5. Mirrors. I have NO full length mirrors in my apartment. I'd say 85% of the time, I hate what I see looking back at me. So, I'm going to go buy one. To change reality, you have to face it.
So, these are my 5 "get back on track" goals!! Everyday is a fight in the battle of weight loss, but, I'm getting back on track!
The water thing...I try to drink 4 glasses of water at breakfast. Sounds wierd, I know, but then it doesn't seem like so many to squeeze in the rest of the day. Then I drink 2 with lunch and 2 with dinner. There's my 64!
