I've hit a weight plateau this week even though I can tell my body is changing. We're going to tweak a few things and just keep pressing on. I've been VERY discouraged the past few days but am trying to press on! I need to focus on the positive. For instance, I "ran" 2 miles yesterday without stopping. My knee didn't hurt a bit (for those of you who don't know, I'm 6 months post pcl/acl injury).
I have three major goals for the Health Kwest and if I can focus on those, I won't feel as disappointed when the scale doesn't go down because I know I'm working towards these goals, not a number.
1. Be healthy- have a healthy heart and a healthy body. I want to improve my cardiovascular health and I'm doing that through workout and having fun too! Exercising also helps your brain, your mood, everything! So, I want exercise to become a habit by the end of this, something I can't live without.
2. Be in control of what I eat and make good choices. I am trying to learn to put more of the good stuff in my body but still enjoy it. I want to have the will power to make good choices about food on a consistent basis and not eat due to stress or boredom.
3. Begin a lifestyle of teaching my kids healthy habits. They will learn from me, so when they see me exercise and eat right, hopefully they will too. I want them to grow up already having healthy habits ingrained.
And of course, I'd love to lose weight and win $10,000 too!!
