First 2019 Weigh-In

So I went into the weigh in thinking for some reason that 2 days of eating better, going to the gym, and working out was going to show some 3-4 pound loss. It didn't, of course. I was the exact same as last week. 299 pounds. At first I was shocked, but then I started thinking about the positive decisions I've made over the last couple days and how I'm shifting my mindset. So what I didn't lose any weight yet. I've done yoga, I've lifted weights, I've stayed within my points, I've meditated. I've been drinking water. I have made healthy choices. The goal I've made for myself is to be a healthier me. I am doing that one step at a time.

I also want to make sure I'm not doing too much, or doing things that aren't really sustainable for me long term. The first thing that I've decided (on day three) that has to go is the miracle mornings. I can't envision waking up every day at 5 a.m. That just isn't for me, and that's okay. I'm going to keep a few things from the SAVERS practice though. I am going to meditate every morning, read my affirmation, and visualize. I would like to read the self improvement books, but I am going to switch that to a nightly thing (though I can't do that until I've finished The Power by Naomi Alderman for this month's book club).

I also want to keep up on the Scribe part of it by blogging my journey here, but I don't think that doing it in the morning is going to be feasible, so I will just do it during lunch or after work.

Something my WW leader said today really struck a chord with me. She said that this is my journey and I have to figure out what works for me along the way. It's a road to discovery. I really like that. I am excited to see the sights along the way.

D-Day is January 1, 2019

This entry is preemptive. I am gearing up for some major life changes that start on January 1st. Not the least of which is "miracle mornings," in that I will be waking up every day at 5 a.m. and blogging every morning among other things. We leave for Florida on January 14th. I'll probably blog from the airport. I would very much like to recap the entire trip for memories' sake, including pictures. I've been pretty bad in the past about keeping up with blogging on the regular, but since I am making it part of my everyday routine I am hopeful that it will change. Other major changes include: going to the gym on a regular basis, logging all of my food with WW, drinking 100 ounces or more of water every day, and gradually reducing caffeine until I am able to eliminate it completely (which I've already started -- I gave up coffee almost two weeks ago now!). My goal, or resolution (defined as a firm decision to do or not to do something) if you will, for 2019 ...

Sore

I skipped scribing today in my miracle morning because I was having issues logging in. I figured I would post a short update about how my last day and a half has gone. We went to the gym yesterday and I got a good hour's workout in. I did cardio for 20 and then I did weights for a bit. My goodness my body was not used to it. I was so sore I couldn't SLEEP last night, so you can IMAGINE how I feel today. I am headed back to the gym after work, but just for some easy cardio (like biking 15 minutes or so) and a stretch class, which sounds more relaxing than a workout, thankfully. I stayed within my points yesterday (46/47) and drank a little over 80 ounces of water. I knew I wasn't going to hit 100+ right off the bat but I am trying to make it a point to increase. I've gotten about 76 ounces in today already. I am definitely making some progress. I made the decision yesterday not to have Chai Tea every day because it is just so point heavy. I'm not giving it up or ...
