Hello my dear butterflies!
Sorry for not writing for so long.
My motivation was rather low...
... as my mood swings back into slight depressions,
my weight goes up again... and up... and even more up.
Result:
I'm back on the weight with which I started this year in January...
:'(
Not so good!!!!
Progress this year: 1%...
But I would like to believe that this 1% exists,
and even is SUBSTANTIAL.
The beginning is made...
the first steps are taken...
Let me tell you what this 1% really means for me:
I've bought that yoga video and I know the right movements
(now only to establish a proper exercise routine),
I got myself a Wii Sports Plus and Balance Board
(only got to play funny sporty stuff on it),
I got that wonderful smoothie maker, aaaand received a great recipe book for smoothies
(just need to make more of them - they are awesome),
I found the fitness center and signed a contract
(which is pretty much money out of the window as long as I keep my fat ass at home)
...
I got into personalized counseling for food addicts
(which unraveled that I have huge emotional issues that have little or nothing,
or everything, to do with food...),
and also the obesity self-help group
(with amazing people that just like that, broke down the walls of my self-imposed isolation)
...
I participated in a women's run for breast cancer
(although I did it WALKING, I'm still proud I went),
and watched my sweetheart run a half marathon
(hey, at least I was there! ;) I promised to one day do the quarter)
...
I had a lot of great, even vegan, food
...
I learned and tried new recipes and new kinds of food
...
I found out my friends love to go walking with me
...
I came across great motivational music to "pump me up with good vibes"
...
I've started this blog
...
I found YOU, butterflies
...
so this 1% is quite a chunk!!!
Now let's maintain that 1% progress for the remaining few days of 2014,
and in 2015,
go for those other 99%!!!
Because we can!
