It’s a fresh start. It’s the beginning of a new cycle, new
month, but not too new that your goals are too high. They may fly away before
you reach them. August 1st is a good start. It’s not really the
beginning of a season, year or a Monday, but it’s a start nevertheless. I
figured maybe, just maybe, if I publicly post what my start will be this
first of the month, I may get through it and not give up until the next Monday
or the next first.
My first is a fitness
first. Well, not really a first because I’ve been working on my fitness ever
since I started university. It’s rarely even a weight thing. The more I’ve
struggled with my various weight losses and increases, the more I’ve learnt to
love my body just the way it is. Self-esteem is obviously a great thing. Who
wouldn’t want to believe in themselves and walk around with their heads held
high? However, self-esteem and being comfortable in my own skin has made me
complacent. I’m so used to my body that my “problem” areas that I rarely even
call them problems anymore.
How can I be determined to lose weight if guys keep telling
me I look good? Ugh, life is SO hard…
It’s been a week though and I’ve been working out
consistently (ish) and watching what I eat. My sister is like my fitness guru
who pushes me to run every morning and high fives me even though I’m walking
back. Thanks to sparkpeople.com, it tells me what my recommended calorie intake
should be and so far I’ve been able to stay within that range.
I think if I stay away from nice people and their
compliments for a few months, I may actually be able to pull this off.
