So Much for Discipline

Two nights ago, I declared in front of several other people that I would really take charge of my health and fitness. I further reiterated that I meant, I will eat healthier foods AND work out.

Well, yesterday, I worked out, with a friend. But, I made poor choices of food all day.

My ability to discipline myself is really poor.  I know I've been using food for comfort lately. It helped get me through the holidays (when I would feel lonely or sad).  And, about the working out thing, well these days, my lot in life seems to be to support the Sports Club with my money, but not use it. How very special of me.

A small digression:  I injured my knee several months ago, had physical therapy, etc. Well, it wasn't healing. I finally had an MRI and now know I have a torn Meniscus. I need to have surgery. But I can't have surgery without a "non-flying" time afterwards of at least 3 weeks. So, surgery won't happen til March. I'm free to exercise, but the doc says, "if it hurts, don't do it." I'm realizing it hurts, but keep trying.

You know what, though, I don't need to beat myself up AND I might practice more "self-love." Will I eventually get it together and lose those 20 pounds --yes!

Point:  I'm not any more perfect than anyone else -- I struggle with my own short-comings. As I tell others, I can practice loving myself as I am and being more gentle. 

Further Point:  Never, ever, ever give up on what you want. Get up, dust yourself off, and try all over again.

Happy dusting off and loving!

Have a glorious Sunday,

Ann
