I was not looking forward to Wednesday because I fell off of the wagon with a lot of my goals. I went completely off diet for several days, wasn't consistent in walking every morning and haven't REALLY meditated daily. I don't even have a good excuse - I just ate and did whatever and enjoyed the hell out of it. I had a pizza and movie night with my husband and we had a blast. I had barbecue with my husband and a friend while watching football on Sunday. I had Cuban food with my coworkers yesterday. I worked a full day conference, watched the presidential debate while munching on leftovers, shared popcorn with my dog, and just didn't put much thought into anything. But strangely, I'm okay with it. I had fun, I enjoyed food, and I didn't have feelings of guilt and shame that normally come with eating stuff that's not on my usual diet.

I can't say I am totally disappointed in myself because I made the conscious choice and was willing to accept the consequences. However, I'm not willing to make the conscious choice to eat that poorly in the long-term. I am learning to love myself enough and my life enough that I want to do better. Following up yesterday's Fitfluential chat, I commit to:
Love my body enough to eat things that nourish it.
Love myself enough to stop eating when I am satisfied, not full, not stuffed.
Love myself enough to exercise this week.
Love myself enough to go to yoga on Sunday.
Love myself enough to meditate daily.
Love myself enough to love myself :)
wonderful attitude...I am struggling right now with deciding to work out today...I already skipped tennis...see my shins and feet hurt sooooo bad and I know I need rest but it is fitness analysis this week...we did weigh in and cardio yesterday...i'm icing but I hurt...oy...sometimes you just can't be ON all the time :) Thanks for being honest..it really helps...I hate when people preach about will and self control...we have a life to live and I want to have fun too dammit!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I definitely struggle with willpower. I know what I NEED to do, but I don't always do it. I've come to the point where I'm okay not striving for perfection, because perfection leads to a whole lot of disappointment. And really, who wants to walk around feeling like a big disappointment??
ReplyDeleteAnd rest is an activity, a crucial one in the process. Instead of giving yourself grief for what you didn't do, give yourself credit for what you did do - REST and take care of yourself :)
