OK so there are a couple of things I have learned so far. One of my friends posted a few days ago saying that “when she felt good, the weight would fall off.” I totally agree with that. I have been so tired and emotionally drained that I know this is my biggest obstacle when it comes to motivation.
What I have decided to do?
Well, get out of my PJ’s every day for one. I feel even more “frumpy” when I stay in them all day. I can justify leaving them on for extra laundry sake, but I feel better when I am out of them and dressed.
Second, put on some make up. I am not a make-up fanatic, but notice a difference when I at least put on some cover up under the black eyes and maybe some mascara.
I have been doing both of these for the last few days and have noticed a difference in my attitude so far. I do feel a bit better about myself.
I have also noticed that I have more energy. Already? Yes, already! I actually WANT to work out now. I know it is because I have now increased my metabolism a bit and I am ding the above to make myself feel better. I know that this increase is so small, but I am going to use it and benefit from it because it can only become a bigger increase in the future. I want this to get to the point where I am not forcing myself to work-out but rather “looking forward to it.” That will be a great day!!
