Weight Loss Wednesday

I had a bunch of plans for last week and this week, and than we got the flu/cold. Doll Face went down first. So all of last week was dedicated to sitting on the couch and nurturing her back to health. Hoping that I would not get sick. I was sure that I was in the clear when I saw that Doll Face started to bounce back but within a day I was down too.

The hubs started showing the same symptoms. And eventually we were both dreadfully sick.

Here we are, a week later, and I am dead to the world. I am such a baby when I am sick. Mostly, I am frustrated about having set some goals and not being able to start them. *Sigh*

I had planned on starting a workout routine. Easing myself into it. And you have no idea how long it has taken me the courage and motivation to start to even plan this. It took a lot of pep talks to myself. So getting sick is just frustrating me.

But I should really take this as a learning situation and learn to be patient. Patience is something that I need to work on. I am horrible at being patient. I am easily flustered when things don't get done when I want them to. Having patience is something I am going to need if I want to be successful in this weightless journey.

Anyways, now that I have explained where I have been... let's move on.

I've come to the conclusion that I need a support group in this weight loss journey. I need people who I can talk to about what I am going thru. I need my own personal cheer leading team, and I want to be there for anyone that may need it. My dear husband is amazing but when it comes to weight issues, he's a bit clueless. So, I need a group of ladies who are going thru a similar struggle as I am.

My 1st long term goal:

Find a support network, whether it be online or offline. I need to find support. I know that I will be more successful and more motivated if I find a support network.

My mini goal of the week:

Get healthy. As much as I want to start walking and exercising, I have to give my body time to heal. I hope to get better by next week and hopefully start exercising the week after.

See you next week! What mini goals have you set for yourself this week?

  2. The minute the kids are sick we always count on getting sick. There has only been a handful of times we didn't get sick though! Make sure you all relax and really get over it or it'll come back again, it was such a nightmare for us! Also don't exercise till you are 100%!!! Feel better soon amiga!

  3. I'd love to be a part of your team! Last summer I lost a lot of weight, and came down with crazy phantom arm pains and just eased my way back into my old habits.

    Let me know, we should start something! And I hope you're feeling better now!
