Week 6 Report and Weigh-in


Week 6 Report and Weigh-in

Here it is. I played mental sabotage with myself this week. I doubted my abilities and my potential. I was a mess. I got in some pretty amazing workouts, but I sort of lost focus of my goal and gave into small edible temptations.  


The good news is that I am not making excuses for myself and I have my head back in the game.

Changes I've noticed... 

Physical: The new workouts that I am doing are amazing. I can hardly believe that I can do things that I couldn't have dreamed of just 6 short weeks ago. I am amazing myself everyday. I'm pretty proud of myself. And I can jump pretty high. Go Figure.

Mental: I already told you that I had some hard days last week. I had a bit of depression and self pity. I give in too easily sometimes.

Spiritual: I am facing some hard truths about myself.  I'm learning that I can do hard things. I am learning that I really can ask my Heavenly Father for help with getting in shape, or controlling my eating. I sometimes feel like I should be able to do it alone, but I am so much more capable when I rely on the Lord. (Duh!)

I had a duh moment just like that when it occurred to me I could ask Heavenly Father for help sticking to a budget and not feeling sorry for myself for all the things I couldn't afford. I don't know why that didn't occur to me sooner, and I wish it had because it made a HUGE difference.

I have those realizations all the time. I think we all live far below our privileges in relying on our Heavenly Father for help in ALL things. I love reading about your progress. You're doing great!

I am inspired by your weight-loss 'journey' (sounds pretty epic...) Anyways. I had a baby in january, and am in a similar boat - I still have 25 pounds to lose.

I definitely live below my privileges, and I do pray about weight loss a lot, but I think that I pray, as taught by Devn Cornish (in Oct. Conference) - in a not very honest manner. I'm kind of like a kid that hasn't done homework, then asks for help on the test. Well - not quite - I work out a lot, but i'm not the best with eating. Anyways...not sure what my point is, but I think that involving Heavenly Father is a really good idea. He wants us to be happy, and He wants us to be good stewards over our bodies - our temples.

oh - btw - do you only "weigh-in"? Do you ever take your measurements? It is nice to have more than one gauge on total fitness (weight isn't always that helpful)- especially since you are working out a lot - as muscle is heavier than fat.

Long, rambly comment...sorry...keep up the good work!
