Well yesterday was my two week weigh in and I have to say I felt a bit let down. I have done this enough times to know week 2 is a killer but I don't think I really THOUGHT about it! I weighed in... 216 pounds... 2.2 pounds lost... ok I know I know it's two pounds right? Usually I would be estatic about it but after my 6.2 pounds last week I held the bar pretty high! It lingered in the back of my mind all day... "only 2.2... only 2.2.... I could feel the old feeling of "why bother" start to sink in. Why have I given up bread, going out to eat, drinking, all the things I was doing before.... for 2.2 pounds?
Well after my day of internal pity partying... I knew I had to answer to my train wreck of a thought pattern, change the cycle, change the negative self doubt, change the expectations, change the way of looking at it!! That's it... change the way of looking at it!! Ok so lets see... i ate right all week, counted my carbs, didn't miss one Proellixe day or any of my Eurowave, and best of all I did overcome lots of hurdles... so why why is this one moment in two weeks defining my entire success?? Cause I'm an overweight person and that's what we do!! LOL..... anyway here is what I did to slowly start to get over it., I txt a friend who agreed to come out last night and do the promontory stairs with me, I thought what the heck it will probably kill me but at least I won't be inside my own head! I climbed those 228 stairs 3 times and I can honestly say that and the great company of Christine, i felt victorious and I felt proud by the end of the day that all my hard work had amounted to feeling better, getting active again, and in two short weeks I've lost 8.4 pounds! Now back to putting one foot in front of the other and taking day by day and keep it real!
