There are days when I am proud of what I have accomplished with my weight loss goals because I have come so far from where I first started. But there are days that I am still very frustrated because I am not feeling like I am making any more progress. I have a hard time with patience in all aspects of life. And I am not sticking to my eating plans because I do not have the patience to wait and see the results. I will eat great for a few days but not stick to it for a long enough period of time to see a change. My goal for next week is to stick to my eating plan and be patient…easier said than done.

We did a lot of cardio today. Cardio is the hardest thing for me to get motivated and positve about. I would rather lift weights over doing cardio anyday. Cardio shows me that I need to work on my mental strength and determination. I know I can physically do more/higher intensity cardio if I could find the mental strength I need. I need to get a new attitude toward cardio and learn to love it

I wasn’t able to come train for a week, so I was excited to train today. I weighed in at 180 this morning. That is down 2 lbs. I wonder if I simply lost muscle from not working out last week or if I actually lost unwanted weight.

I missed my workout with Aaron this morning. But I have a basketball game tonight so I will have a chance to burn some calories today. I had a decent weekend in regards to eating. I made a deliberate effort to not drink too much alcohol while out with my friends.

I love Fridays. I seem to have more energy and motivation on Fridays because I know the weekend is approaching and I can relax. The workout today was fun and tough. I think my challenge for this weekend is to make good eating choices. A good friend is in town for the weekend and we have plans to go out several nights in a row, so I know that I need to stay focused and try to make the best choices I can while still enjoying the weekend.

The Christmas and New Years Holidays have just past and I was nervous to get on the scale and see what effect the Holiday has had, but to my surprise I now weigh 182, down 2 lbs from before the Holiday. It is nice to see my weight is lower but I feel out of sync since I have done very little cardio over the last few weeks. But I am excited to get going again.

I feel very unmotivated today, but I am proud that I still did the workout I committed to. The last few days I have not been eating well. When I am emotional about things in my life I eat like crap. I need to find a way to break that habit because it is getting in the way of my success with this program.

I missed my workout yesterday, but I am so glad that I got up and went today. I cant let my personal issues get in the way of my success. I should use working out as a distraction from the negative things going on in my personal life, not the other way around.

I am really sore today, but in a good way. I love that every workout is different and challenging.

I have been working hard this week and it feels great! I am excited and motivated. I am very lucky to be a part of this program as I work towards my goals.
Day 35 – Encouragement
It feels really good to know that I have my trainer behind me 100% and I am not alone in trying to reach my goals. It is easy to get down on myself and lose motivation and it is awesome to have Aaron to remind me what is important and encourage me to continue.
