This has truly been a rough month.  I seem to take two steps forward and one back.  It has been hard to keep my focus on what we are suppose to be doing.  I did not start off very well and now that I am truly working on a program I keep thinking about where I need to go and how far behind I am compaired to others.  My husband suggested this past weekend that I just look at one day at a time and not worry about compairing myself with others.  That has always been hard for me.  I am up and down.  There are days I feel outgoing and good about everything, then there are other days when I am just plain tired and want to hide out. 

 

I did lose 8.4 lbs this first month, but I know it could have been so much better if I had the right mindset.  So here I am just concentrating on today.  One day at a time, one meal at a time, one pound at a time.  Thus far today is going well.  I have to make sure I keep the right foods around me.  Fruits, nuts, yogurt, chicken, lettuce, you know the drill.  Tonight I need to get some rest (stayed up for the oscar’s last night), so I can keep my focus.

 

I have a great trainer that participated in the Lighten up contest several years back.  She is very familiar with the program and is very encouraging.  My problem is when I am tired I don’t even want to talk to her.  So…. Sleep is on the agenda for tonight.
