THE TIME HAS COME

Mhmmm I need to give myself a good ol' kick up the bum.

Why do we do it to ourselves? lie to ourselves like this.. it's not like we don't really know the truth.

I battle the mind games like there's no tomorrow - I'm not really that big, my clothes still fit - they might be tight but they still fit, I eat healthy, I make everything fresh, I'm allowed to have a treat sometimes. They say everything in moderation. Except major downfall - My brain doesn't understand the term moderation. My brain thinks if I have chocolate just today but I have the whole block - that's only indulging a little too much. What the? *smacks myself*

I have promised myself I will get my sh*t together this year. I will learn to eat because my body needs it, not because I'm bored, tired, cranky etc. I have joined Weight Watchers online and I will stick to points CORRECTLY and no FORGET to put things in that I may have had today that I'm in denial about. I WILL be HONEST. I will work around eating out and other occasions to ensure I am sticking to my goals but not missing out.

I will exercise 5 days a week. I tried for 6 but reality is - it's not going to happen. So 5 it is. A couple of weeks ago I started Nia Shanks 3x3x3 program and I am loving it.. it's only 3 days a week.. but so far I've still only made it to 2 a week. Today.. This week. That changes!

Since I'm being honest here, I'm also going to tell you I started week 6 of a 10k running app. And I suck at it! I was all good up until having to run 5 minutes at a time more than once. My brain doesn't let me push through, I try.. and don't suceed. I'm not sure about continuing this at the moment. I want to say I can run 10k! But for the life of me I cannot run as the app is wanting me too. So I'm thinking about switching back to some interval training. I really love Tone It Ups Fat Burning Treadmill workout.. it is deadly! So maybe I'll do one day a week and maybe a Spin class.

Key for me is to not make it complicated or long! I've worked out 45 minutes is my max before I'm outta there. 30 minutes is preferable plus a walk to and from the gym (15 minutes each way).

What is is about the mind games? How do you move past that or get through it without just going - just do it.. thanks Nike.. I'm trying. I need like baby steps to get through that.

OH! I almost forgot to say - this has all been reignited more to make sure I follow through thanks to my brothers wedding invite that arrived in the mail this morning! It's a beach wedding in the Whitsundays in August - I WILL be at goal for that!

I'm happy to say I am on track for a stellar week of points so far. Keeping to my points without using my extra propoints to see how weight in goes on Monday.
