This week has been one of my better weeks I have had in the past month. I have not gotten myself back as disciplined as I would like to be, but I am working on it. As many know I have tried to call this my no excuses journey, even before Biggest Loser stole that thought lol. I have corrected myself several times when I "tried" to use this ave of my past over the past week. here are a couple of times.
Wed I started my first big workout with my trainer. As cute as he is to look at he is mean. Don't let the cute smile fool ya. He made me sweat. He made me hurt. Two days later my body still doesn't like me ... or him :D. As he was making me do some squats I had to laugh. As I was doing them he was telling me what a great job I was doing ( I pay him well for this part of the session) I commented that a year ago I had a hard time getting off the couch, literally. Actually it was more than a year ago, but that is not the part of the excuse. As I was saying this I started to say "but in my defense it's partly because of how low the couch is" I stopped in the middle of the sentence and said I was not going to use that as an excuse. It was a struggle at times to get up from low places and there should be no reason that I couldn't do this. Now here I am doing squats ... I didn't say they were pretty. I didn't say I could go down as far as he did, but almost. But I was doing them.
I have told anyone/everyone to bust my chops when I am not doing what I need to do to keep me on track. Yesterday my daughters boyfriend did this, not sure he realized it though :D. He happens to work with me and was walking in at the same time. I was tired and I blame him lol. I get on the elevator, out of habit when going up. As the door is closing I hear him say "what, not taking the stairs?" Dumb kids whadda they know :D. So, what did I do? I stayed on it lol... that time. At the same time I have not taken it since. The rest of the day I took the stair down AND up. I have been taken them down always for some time now but I made the excuse I would do it when my knee got stronger. I realized after he busted me that "if I can do the squats my trainer was having me do, I can take the stairs" so I am. I still get a lil winded, but that will change soon. NO MORE EXCUSE!!
I know that they only way to build my strength is to do stuff. I am not going to get it by thinking about it. I am not going to get it by talking about it. I am not going to get it by someone else telling what I need to do. I am going to get it by DOING!! I can do this. I need to do this. Most of all I WANT to do this. It is time to stop making excuses and saying it's ok because I am maintaining, it's time to get on with my journey.
My trainer has also worked up a nutrition plan to help me tweak what I need to do to keep moving forward and finish the part of the journey. I want to hit that goal weight and THEN get into my maintain mode. I am only half way there. So again for anyone that is reading this, if you see me getting "off my game" or making excuses bust me on it. I need all the help I can get. Prayers are much welcome. I know that God can give me the strength and it's the only way that this will work. thanks for reading.
