Day 4

So I know the time line doesn't make sense but I started a 90 day challenge on Tuesday, so today is day 4 of that challenge, and day 4 of my do-over. On Tuesday I weighed in at my heaviest since I started my weight loss journey five years ago.




These 4 days have been great. I haven't struggled too much with food thankfully. I started with an It Works Cleanse. It's a two day cleanse designed to promote healthy colon function. Then on day 2 I started my journey with Thrive. I have nothing amazing to report about that yet. I have already done two three-day trials previously, and I have always felt like I have needed longer, so today is day three again, but this time I get to go until I stop! I am excited to see if I feel any results. Better sleep and less aches and pains are part of the "promises", and those two things could help to promote my motivation.

One thing I am lacking is the drive to work out. I am just not there mentally (and that could be related to being so tired all the time). Weight loss and fitness are super mental, and some people don't understand that. Especially those that are already fit. One of my biggest pet-peeves are people who used to be overweight who look down at people who are obese. It's like they forget what it was like to be there. Thankfully I know that I am at the edge of getting my own self motivated, and I am sure it is coming.

Change is Coming Soon!!!

I'm actually looking forward to my upcoming 90-day challenge! What I am not looking forward to is stepping on the scale and seeing what kind of damage I have done. Yes, my day one was 2 weeks ago, but that turned into a disaster. I have already said there is thinking you are ready, and actually being ready. The difference being that you'll know you were not ready when you fall off the wagon.  Right now, I feel ready. 

It's going to be hard. . .it always is. BUT I have done it before and I WILL do it again. 


Once upon a time I lost 60 pounds. . .now I'm pretty sure I have now put at least 1/2 that back on, so my goal is 20 pounds. This is not unrealistic. This is a very reasonable and obtainable goal. Weight loss is very mental in my opinion so I really have to work on being stronger then myself!
