My Downfall....

Where I went wrong with my health and fitness plan, is I lost my focus. Geez for years I was so focused on my goal, focused on what I put in my mouth, focused on what exercise I did...I was focused on everything.

Then somewhere along the way, I thought..."I got this!". I know what 3 oz of meat is, I know how many calories are in that. Sure I exercised 5 times this week. You bet, I got my water in.....When in reality, I was not tracking anything and obviously I was thinking wrong!! I was not eating in proper portions, I was not exercising 5 days per week, I was not getting all my water in.

Because you can't, at least I can't gain 12 pounds if you are doing everything right...right?

So I've been back on track.....really for the past couple of days. I've REALLY tracked all my food and kept my calories in line with my plan. I've exercised at least 3 days per week (hoping for more soon). I got all of my water in. Plus I've had a great attitude and in 3 days I've lost 2 pounds.

Not a lot, yet....but just putting the focus back on my plan and keeping my eye on what I'm doing is helping. Seriously, the past months it would take me a full week to lose 2 pounds.

So I'm encouraged. I have learned my lesson. I know now, that I will always have to focus and keep sight of what I'm doing to have success.

Ah....

How are you doing?

I'm going back to my....

Keep focused!!

  2. Yay! Back on track! Having a good attitude helps out sooo much, but we often times lose that along the way. Can't wait to see the good things that are in store for you.
