From Spark People for January 31st
“Congratulations! You have worked hard for an entire month to help make your dreams a reality. By now, you are well on the way to achieving all of your goals. Use what you’ve learned here to keep going and set new goals in the future.”
What I have learned this month:
1. I did not give up when the only weight loss on the scale the entire month was .2 pounds.
2. I learned I can increase my exercise a lot and still not lose weight as quickly as I would like.
3. I learned it is ok to take my time and do it right and be proud of myself every day.
4. I learned I can walk up the stairs at Carlsbad State Beach (4 times.)
5. I learned I can eat healthy and clean while camping and sleeping in a tent.
6. I learned there are so many wonderful people for me to be inspired by just by looking for them and asking for their support
7. I learned it is really not a good idea to do the treadmill barefooted.
8. I learned from Power 90 I really like doing weights. Did I really just say that?
9. I learned I can work through pain, not die and be glad I did.
10. I learned there is so much more for me to learn.
What did you learn about yourself and your weight loss journey in January?
I learned to write everything down that I eat because this keeps me accountable for what goes in my mouth and what calories I have consumed. In the beginning of January I was on a plateau and toward the end of January I lost about 5 lbs. The Healthy Breakfast Club has helped a great deal. This group keeps me accountable and starts my day off in the correct direction. I also learned that if you treat your body good it will return the favor because for the first time in what I can remember I have normal cholestoral…. Now on to February.
