I sit here while the twin boys I do respite for are in bed. I'm watching the biggest loser and have never been more motivated to share my feelings and thoughts until I heard the wise words of Jillian Michaels.
The 500 some odd pound contestant wanted to give up as he lifted weights then Jillian with her words of wisdom came through.
She said ... anything you want you can have ... anything you dream you can reach .. all you have do is believe and look within. I want to believe it's possible .. I want to believe I can do it. I'm almost there but I sure a pep talk with Jillian would help. I don't want to be one of those repeat customers at weight watchers that has lost and gained and lost and gained all their life (not that I'm against those people because I have left and re-joined). But I'm still young and I want to be a healthy weight and STAY a healthy weight.
Temptations- why must the teaching world be filled with so many snacks? I was happy that I went for the tangerines at the staff meeting instead of the delicious cookies. It's these little changes that I have to make because I will always be surrounded by temptations. My E.A made a comment about how the cookie is definitely not worth half an hour of running on the treadmill. When I looked at the cookie and thought of the treadmill it was my 'ah -ha' moment and I was like you're damn right it's not worth it and I took a seat. Take that 200 calorie, chewy, chips ahoy chocolate chip cookie! You are NOT worth half an hour on the treadmill...no way!!! Feeling proud as I made it through a monthly staff meetinga nd yet another Tuesday pizza day!

I feel your pain of temptation. In a hospital there are ENDLESS boxes of chocolates, dozens of donuts, dips and snacks 24/7. As long as I don't try to have "just one" I can handle it.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of the drama at the water challenge on BL?. The demo of health risks/cost of obesity was pretty insightful I must say.
I think every workplace is full of treats. If every workplace was full of veggies and fruits I would be in a much better place right now.
ReplyDeleteDrama on BL was intense ... I agree it opens your eyes to how determental being overweight can be on your health.
