So, all of a sudden it is November 1, 2010!! If I could go back 6 months and start all over, would I really find the motivation to continue with exercise and staying on track with my eating plan? I really don't know, because this is how my life usually is, I cannot plan too far in advance, because I cannot lay out a crystal clear plan for my future. This is one reason that when I set a goal, it usually has to be a well thought out one, and one that will challenge me, but will not make me feel like a failure. Too many times I hear that word, failure, and I often wonder if some people are told that at a very young age. I know for me, failure in school was a big deal, but failure in goals is a whole different feeling, because it is about your inner strength to carry you through to hit those goals. Exercise and eating right, need to go together, for me, it is a well thought out plan. There is no need to let myself go without being active, my auto immune disease will not be my excuse anymore. If I can't walk on those days when the pain becomes agony, then I will find alternative ways to exercise, I will not give up the fight anymore.
I learned to develop an exercise routine that I could adhere to it. Exercise enhances my physical health and also supports a strong mental health which is important to heightening motivation and self esteem.The production of endorphins from exercise contributes to this wonderful sense of well being.
I realized I spent most of September and ALL of October concentrating on my low carb plan and working through my weight loss stall and finding Milk Thistle to help jump start my weight loss. I was losing weight once again, but with out exercise. I didn't miss the daily 2 mile walk, or the trotting around the track, what I did miss was a routine, I lost that routine that I set out to do the beginning of this year. But, today, out of no where, I found a little piece of self motivation, sitting right in front of my computer, it was a picture of me, standing in the middle of the school track field with a big smile and my hands up in the air, so proud that I was out walking the track, I was 271 lbs beginning my walking for a better health routine. I was amazed how easy it was for me to walk, and I really missed that feeling, those endorphins which bring my mental wellness to a balance. This may be November 1, 2010, but time will not run out, because I will make it work with me.
I must always remember that nothing in life comes easily. It takes time and dedication to make sure that the task and goal actually becomes completed. If I am just laying back and doing nothing then there is no way that I could expect my goals to be accomplished. However if I stand up and take control they will be. I am saving money to buy new shoes, but that is not a reason for not going back to walking everyday, I almost cried when I realized the month of October is gone, and I had not gone for my daily evening walks, I was "too" busy, my one hour a day is going to save my life and help me lose the weight.
