jzthedetermined's Journal

Hello!! Just thought I would drop by and wish you a very belated Merry Christmas. I hope you and your kiddos had a good one!! I hope you are feeling better and are able to get back to it!! Holidays have a knack of throwing people off kilter but it's good to hear that it wasn't just crap food. Shows how you have changed. You say you have far to go but you will get there. Without struggle victory doesn't mean as much and when you get to where you want to be and you look back you will be amazed at how far you have gone. Already you have done so well!

Remember - the more fun you have, the easier it will be. And, I am all about a reward system - 5 more pounds, you get a new suit, 10 more pounds, you get _____, 20 more pounds you get to go on vacation =D

MISHI!!! Howdy! Thanks for droppin' in... my journal NEEDS the "CHEESE"! ;) :D :D Thanks, and very good points, especially the without struggle bit. ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Great things are worth fighting for, even if it's random life events to be dealt with!
 
Hey, I'm new to the forum, but can totally comprehend the "herd animal" sentiment. Been grazing all week long myself and feel like crap. But it is great that you have come far enough in developing new habits that you DO feel like crap when you are off-routine. That is a real sign that the changes you've made are becoming part of you.
Congrats! You will be back on it in no time.

Thanks NTTT, And good luck to a fellow Ohioan on your journey!
 
This is a tough time of year to stay on track. We get bogged down with visitors, it's tough to pick up the gym bag and leave guests to their own devices, and there is a lot of food preparation going on, too :D

Only the most anal of us will still be sticking to our workout and diet. It's been really tough for me this year to stay on track. OK. I'll be honest. I haven't had a workout for 8 days now. I've only done rehab :p
