No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Fake it till you make it....
It's overcast and dreary outside today. My mood matches the weather. I'm not sure why, but I woke up feeling blah! I don't feel physically ill... just low energy and agitated at the same time.
I had a good day yesterday and got my walking in before the rain started. I drank all my water, ate within my points range, did crunches and push-ups before bed... everything I had set out to do that morning. I've been really motivated lately and haven't really had any problems staying on track... so I'm not sure what has happened to change that, other than the weather.
I know from my past that days like this can be dangerous for me... so I've decided to combat it early on. My hubby is home today and I made him promise first thing that we'd go for a 3 mile walk today. That way, I can't talk myself out of it later... he will push me out that door. I'm also wearing the brightest outfit I own... sounds weird, I know... but it really does help me fell a little brighter overall. I've set the timer on my oven to beep when I normally would eat... that way, I won't be grazing all day while I'm home. What is it about a funky mood that makes me want to put food in my mouth all day long???
I'm not sure where I first heard the saying "Fake it until you make it"... but I've used this theory several times over the years and it does seem to work. Today I'm going to "Fake" a good mood and motivation until I get back to it for real. Hopefully when the sun comes out tomorrow, this blah mood will have passed!
Goal for today:
Smile and be cheery!
Walk 3 miles
Eat only my daily points
Eat my 5 fruits/veggies and drink my water
That's it... pretty basic...and very doable. I know I can do it!
