That's not what I expected.
That’s not what I expected. Welp. Standing on the scales the Saturday after Thanksgiving. How did I feel? Amazing. I rocked thanksgiving and the day after. Not over indulging eating only the foods I loved and did not over stuffing myself. I left the table with the feeling of triumph. I did it. I got through two thanksgiving dinners. Unfortunately that ole’ box I fight with so much, well it said otherwise. After two weeks of losing and feeling back in control the scales were up! 3.2 pounds to be exact. Say what? I felt so stinkin good. I knew the scales would show a loss. Why up? Ugh. Did I want to cry? yep. Get angry? yep. Feel disappointed? yep. My precious coach at WW even offered me a hug. Cause I sure needed it. Thank you Clarissia, I adore you. Again allowing the box to own me.
I love what a sweet friend Jane (themuchomama) always says…the scale has no idea what you did that week. How hard you worked. What you tracked. The hard workouts. The delicious goodies you said no to. The way you felt when you saw your reflection. Finally feeling like yourself again. It is just a measurement. A stinkin box. A number. You and I. We can’t allow that number to tell you now to feel. Nope. So stop. Ok. So what did I do. I went straight to Jazzercise and my precious daughter taught a kick hiney class. It felt fabulous. I told those negative feelings to just go. I found joy in my moment. My journey. Not saying I was a little sad and disappointed but I didn’t allow that 5 second moment to control me. I had the best day. Enjoyed the fact that I had a clean slate for the upcoming week and I will overcome.
How did your Thanksgiving go? Did you feel deprived? Did you have your fav foods? Did you enjoy your time with family and friends? How did you feel about choices you made? I love that WW want's you to set goals each week. I feel like this is the most important part of our journey to set goals even if we are in the midst of the holidays. We can’t allow this season to derail us from getting healthy and taking care of ourselves. Our bodies are a temple. We are His. To do BIG things. He created us to do all the things. Without regret and with endless GRACE. I don’t want to miss out. I don’t want you to miss out. We are completed capable of achieving our goals. With His strength. So what’s holding you back?
Nothing! We only have 31 days. That is plenty of time. Write down your goals and dreams you want to accomplish before 2020. Share them with me. I would love to pray for you during this holiday season. We can DO THIS. Not allow the stress and craziness of the next 31 days to keep us from slaying our goals for the new year. It feels flippin good to know that I can and will. With His amazing strength get through it. You will too! I believe in you! You SO GOT THIS. Until next week….
My goals this upcoming week: Track, weigh measure every bite. Drink 100 ounces of water. Get my steps in. Run x3. Jazzercise and Crossfit x3. Stay off the scales till weigh in day. Be thankful. Be joyful. Be happy. Be kind.
