Staying motivated...

Last week was a mixed bag of emotions.

Since my weigh in day is Wednesdays I sometimes confuse Wednesday with the first day of the week. And sometimes it is the last day of the week.

Well last Sunday I was pumped and excited to weigh in on Wednesday. I walked a mile on Sunday. Did 12 modified pushups with “perfect pushups” on Monday. I was still motivated on Tuesday so I walked two miles.

I just knew when Wednesday came I would show another great loss. Whah, whah, whah, it didn’t happen. I was bloated and not happy when Wednesday rolled in. I gained 1.5 pounds and a lot of disappointment.

I refused to beat myself up like I have done so many times in the past. So instead of beating myself up, I did 30 squats. I drank 48 ounces of water. Whoa, that is a lot of water for me. I usually only drink about 8 ounces a day.

On Thursday I was feeling a little encouraged and the squats had my thighs aching. So I took the day off. I am not trying to over do it to the point of pain. However, I was refreshed and ready to go on Friday. I walked 3 miles on Friday!

Saturday was my off day. I took time to reflect and try to keep things in prospective. I worked on my state of mind.

Today is Sunday and I will walk two miles.

I am not fully motivated but I will do what I need to do to get results.

I heard Dr. Phil say, "the meaning of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results", hmm.

So on that note I will mix it up and see if I get different results!

Water, cardio, and strength training.
