I have been struggling the past few days. Maybe you can relate.
I struggled with food choices over the holidays. I didn’t do too terribly but I could have definitely made some better choices. Red velvet cookies are not a good choice. PERIOD.
I struggled with motivation. I worked my ASS off getting my home prepped for company, cooking for a small army, and making sure the kids were surprised and happy Christmas morning. Tonight I feel like I have nothing left.
I am struggling with our budget and finances. Going out on your own trying to start a business in this economy is difficult. Starting a business based upon people admitting they might need a little guidance with their nutrition choices is just downright crazy. But I feel so strongly about helping people get healthy that I will continue this pursuit.
I am struggling with back pain…today. I have been feeling fantastic the past few weeks but today I feel my injury rearing its ugly head. Patience, stretching, exercise and more patience is required.
I am struggling with the random number generator. 54 days. Minimal movement. Adjustments….and more patience and COMMITMENT are required. (Although this is pretty much all I think about lately…but thought doesn’t equal commitment, ACTION does.)
I struggle with the thought of buying another pair of size 12 jeans. I want an 8. Maybe I should buy the 8 and make them a motivational tool??? Crazy talk. Then again, I told Kelly that if I reached my goal weight, I was going to splurge on a $400 pair of Lucchese cowboy boots. Truth is, I struggle with spending $40 on myself, never mind $400. More crazy talk.
I am struggling with the year 2012. I turn 40 this year. Another number that I shouldn’t pay attention to, but I do. I am starting to see the lines on my faces, the gray hairs multiplying and my kids growing up right before my eyes. This weight loss journey and lifestyle change isn’t as easy as it was ten years ago…or even five years ago…but this just means I need to want it and work for it harder.
Lots of thoughts, some weighing me down tonight…and some are just thoughts. Complaints? Not really. Things I need to work on? Definitely. Struggles? Yeah, but I don’t think I said anything that you haven’t thought about too. No resolutions this year. I refuse to do that to myself. Instead, I am going to take this week and really think about my SOLUTION.
"Nothing to it but to Do it!"
Kelly:
This may seem unbelievable to you…but I knew this (or close to this) was going to be Dina’s post. I could sense it in every way. I’m not surprised by her blog at all.
For now, what I can offer for support is noting that nothing is crazy talk. Especially when it comes to your goals!!! Why does it have to be labeled “crazy”? Why not just what you want for you. Shoot, I want $400.00 boots too. I bet they’re mad hot! If you listen to what is going on around you, those boots will be yours. Those size 8 jeans will be yours. I do need to ask, if you buy the size 8, how will that motivate you? Do you feel guilty for spending the money or do you sleep in the frigging things every night till they fit?
This post couldn’t have come at a better time. I just had a conversation with my dad on Christmas morning regarding motivation. This is my chance to let EVERYONE understand the word motivation and “HOW TO GET IT” as most people say….(it gave me a change to help my dad understand what the heck a “blog” is too – poor guy had NO idea!)
My last point is that “WE” need to really, truly, honestly, directly embrace our vision. If you continue to see the negative, that will be your result. Pick yourself up dammit and dust yourself off. Today is here, let’s do it!! No such thing as a complaint here, glad you said it’s not “complaints”.
