The new year is always like "Monday" when it comes to dieting or getting healthy. You get to a point in the year -- typically around Thanksgiving -- and you're like "Uh yeah, in JANUARY I'll start!" Well, it's January - and I'm starting off strong. So I probably said I wouldn't do one again, but I'm doing another DietBet. (You should be able to still join by clicking here) The concept is great... you pay to join and if you lose 4% in 4 weeks you get to split the pot of all who entered who didn't reach their goal. I have NEVER succeeded in one. I'm done with that! I joined. Steve joined. Kelly joined. We're all freaking doing this! I can't afford to just throw $30 away. I need to restock my Younique supply with Kelly's party! That's almost my foundation.... eek! LOL
So resolutions --- I haven't had a real resolution in many years. I mean, I guess last year, I said I would lose at least a pound. So I did that. That works. I'm not big on resolutions though, because I tend to self-sabotage. I stop myself from succeeding. I don't know why, but that's a trend I've noticed I do A LOT. I get close to a goal and I don't let myself achieve it. So there's things I want to do this year, but I'm not setting any real resolutions. I'm just gonna go with the flow and do my best.
It's hard not to put a number on it. A friend of mine shared something with me and I know it's not good to put a number on it...to just work at being healthy without the stigma of a number...but being able to see quantifiable results is so satisfying.. of course that's only if you are getting the results you want and not moving in the opposite direction. I can't find what she shared with me, but I'm going to try to find balance between the number and just being healthier! (I chose to wear my tight jeans today just to remind myself of where I want to go.......and they were clean.... ) I'm so frustrated with my wardrobe though. I know it's not necessarily the right reason, but I want cute clothes! I don't want to have numbers and X's in my size. I want to shop in the regular section and maybe wind up in just a plain ole large one day.
I found that Amazon Prime Video has some Yoga videos for free so I think I'm going to check those out. I'm really going to make this my year. It's great having people on the same journey as me... even if their road may be shorter...it's still hard. We stick together. We can do this. We will succeed!
