2 weeks down, 11 to go. It's funny you might think that I would be agonizing over the fact that I have 11 weeks to go and what an eternity that is, but I'm actually really happy about it. I feel like I'm hitting my stride and I'm happy to have a good chunk of time left to really hit it. I'm feeling ambitious about what I can achieve here.
I will go on to say, I attribute ALL of this optimism to my increased energy, and perceived increase in strength/cardio. NOT a number on the scale. I'm willing to bet that if I stepped on a scale I wouldn't be saying any of this. I'd be beating myself up like I used to and then sabotaging myself with food.
This is not to say I have been eating perfectly. I haven't. But my jaunts off the path are smaller steps and with less frequency than they used to be. My exercise has been consistent and I feel great accomplishment in that.
But while we're talking about food, an idea presented itself to me. Eating has been, and always will be, the hard part for me. A fellow health blogger, attempted to photo document everything she ate every day for a couple of months. At first I thought, what an odd idea, but it occurred to me its not much different than what I'm doing here. Its just another form of accountability, perhaps a tool to keep me focused. So I might try it and see how it goes. I'm sure many of you will find my images of my diet boring as all heck, and honestly I don't expect you to care what I'm shoving in my mouth - but if I put it out there, I have to own it and that's a huge part of this.
