Struggles

Just checking in with y'all...

Boom! Lost my job today.

There you have it.

Too Much Work

Hello everyone! Yep, I'm still here. Nope, I haven't done much winch the 24 Day Challenge.

Does it matter why? To me: not really. I do not need to be reminded daily, by anybody, that I haven't done much. Call it stress, call it money, call it whatever you want to.

Believe me, I'm harder on myself than anyone else. It confusing, really.

I know I must change. I know I'm the one in charge if changing myself. I know that some of you struggle with time, money, food, etc... just like me. I know that for some of you, it might not be as hard of a struggle.

What I've gotten myself in to is a streak of making choices, knowing what I want, but again, not doing anything about it.  Do I need to see it on paper? Do I need to track calories? I'm still figuring it out. But the stupid thing is, I know the answer to these questions.

But I have my word that I'd let y'all follow my Journey for a year. Whether it be all good, mostly good, or just some good. I'll keep my word and share the truth, being honest.

How are y'all doing on your promises to yourselves? Can anybody out there relate to where I'm at right now?

Right now I feel like 400 pounds would be a miracle. Just a few weeks ago, you could've out the number 400 on a big old sheet of paper, held it in front of me and I would've torn right through it!

I get it. Another day. Another promise.

So here is me, today. Struggling. I'll check back in with y'all in a week or so.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll wake up and make shit happen. I know I can do it. Just gotta take that first step. Again.

Got Strength?

Just checking in with y'all! I know I know I know... My blogging has been missed these last couple of weeks. By you and me both! Well we're still here!

How many of you have weaknesses? Ask yourself, "What is my weakness?"

Now, tell yourself, "My strength is..."

For me, I know minor alone on this, one of my fitness-related weaknesses is that I don't eat well, clean or structured, if I'm not working out! This is something that I do not "like" about myself.

Since being off our "Challenge," we have not been Perfect. I'm not getting into the details, but I'll share this: we haven't been 100%. Not like we know we can be.

So, to do some touching up, we've stocked our clean food back up. We broke out the sewing tape, we've already prepared our meals for tomorrow.

We've tried doing well, without preparation. It hasn't worked. We tried staying in shape by working out without going to the gym, that didn't work either.

Gym membership has been signed up for! Yes!!! I'll tell y'all something real quick and I won't lie to you neither. I'm looking forward to doing this new challenge that we've presented to us. If it's not challenging enough, you won't try as hard to achieve it. I geel real good about knowing a little but more about nutrition and heart rate training. I feel like we know enough, not all, but enough to get our butts in gear the way we know works.

I know that just because we don't "know everything" about how the body works, carbs, starches, proteins, good fat, bad fat, power lifting, light lifting, interval training, cardio, etc... Big effin deal! We know some basics. We can learn along the way.

I will blog! Just not every day. But I like sharing the inches that we lose. We're thinking we'll measure every Sunday evening. Just FYI.

I love you Katie!

This Is The Best Day Of My Life!
