The weekend has arrived, the last few days have been busy, busy with work, taking my kids out for their last Friday of school holidays! Thursday I didn't get to exercise so I worked harder at the gym yesterday to make up for it a little and I am off to the gym this morning for a cycle class to kick off the weekend on a positive note. I have given in to temptation a few times over the last few days which I am not happy about but I didn't over eat the tempting food I just wish I had avoided it all together. Today is a new day and other than eating some chocolate and some cheesecake I have eaten a healthy balance of fruit, veg proteins and carbs!
Yesterday at the gym I did some walking around with 2 x 10kg weights in my hand and they were really heavy and then I thought to myself I carry about 30kg's of extra weight, imagine how fantastic I will feel when I have lost it! That certainly inspires me on to reach my goal. At this stage I have not put a time frame on the length of time it will take but I know soon I have to so I "keep it real" and stop making excuses and procrastinating!
The house is very quiet, my hubby had to be up at 4.30am to head off to work all day at XXXX in Brisbane to help fix the room with all the machines that were damaged from the floods. My kids are sleeping and I am enjoying just spending time thinking about how blessed I am. I think for the last few years I have stopped believing in myself and potential. For a few years there I was so focused and driven but when I look back I think really I had just adopted other people's dreams as that is what I thought I had to do to be successful.
My weight does affect my confidence although I have worked through major self esteem issues over the last few years there is still and element of doubt due to my weight. You see I really would like to motivate people to live a healthy life... not just a healthy physical body but also a healthy soul and mind. I feel my soul is healthier I just now need my body to catch up.
So to put some of my goals on paper... I do want to always be the best wife and mother I can be, meaning that I am always loving, selfless, generous and patient with my family. I want to my children to always feel that can tell me anything and that I will always love them. My husband is the hardest working man I know and I pray that I become better at helping and encouraging him in his journey of life and that he always knows how much I adore and appreciate him.
There are so many other goals coming to mind but enough of that for now... Oh the other exciting thing is my hubby is going to do the Michelle Bridges 12wbt with me, I know that if we support each other and stay accountable it will help to move closer in our health journey!
