Why is it that I keep on losing weight in cycles or like a “yo-yo”. Why is it that eating cake once for a birthday party will send me into a spiral of not running and eating unhealthy for two or three days. HOW DO I BREAK THE CYCLE??? I want to be able to enjoy cake at my sisters’ and brothers’ birthday without feeling (too) guilty and still be able to continue on with my diet change and exercise afterwards. Anyone know the answer? Because I will be doing so well and BAM lose all my progress in two or three days. Ugh. I was planning on running but 1. I have NO motivation 2. I’m tired. I just started a second job 3. My stomach hurts so bad from eating unhealthily yesterday. I’m going to just use today as my “start eating healthy day and then exercise my heart out tomorrow”. Does anyone else do that? If you’ve been eating really unhealthy for a little while and then the next day you only focus on eating healthy instead of exercising? It makes me really motivated to exercise the day after that because I feel so refreshed. Okay just my thoughts for today. Leave me suggestions and such! xoxo M

I ran a straight mile today without stopping. I wasn’t even out of breath. I love that feeling. I just need to get my eating straight and I know the pounds will drop.

I had an epiphany today

I keep on setting these unrealistic goals, therefore not making them, getting upset, giving up for a couple of days, or just long enough to gain it all back and sometimes more, then starting again. I’m going to stop doing that. I’m going to live day by day and work at it. If I have a bad day, so be it. I will still keep on fighting. I will win this battle.

Just my thoughts for today. xoxo
