What a hard week! Seemed like everything was conspiring to wreck my course. I’ve committed to go to gym 5 to 6 days a week. I had to miss leg day (no jokes please) and I felt…well not guilty, but out of sync. Then my food, I’m entering a season of business lunches, church potlucks and holiday crap to snack on. I AM HUMAN! (Most days 😂) So, I try really hard to hold myself to account. The FS app helps with this and my writing (no matter how inane) help too. James Clear in the book “Atomic Habits” writes about commitment and missing an allotted time for an activity…in short, do it next time. He’s right…and that’s what I did…put that one off behind me. As far as eating and the coming season of gluttonous behavior….I better keep the app handy so I can mitigate the urge to bulls**t myself! 😬

So it happened today…actually a few times….I get that question, “are you ok?” Whenever I would work towards being healthier, that question will inevitably come up. In the past I would simply say no, but then I would look at myself and think maybe I had done it wrong. What would happen next is I would quit my goal and gain weight…not as much as I had lost but a lot of progress would be lost.

This time is different. Sure, there are challenges, but this time just (as my son and his friends might say) “hits different”. Comments from others (compliments or health inquiries) are not part of the plan. Sure, it’s cool to be acknowledged for the work, but this is for me…it’s not for another, or opportunity or even a love interest…it’s only for me. So, I am the arbiter, I am the decision maker and I like where I am and the direction this work is taking me.

Now, to be fair some of my clothing is falling off. I am buying new stuff (and maybe find a tailor to see what can be taken in) so until that is done and the program, I’ve committed to is complete, my dress may get “sketchy” from time to time.

I guess I am writing this to send a message to myself; don’t allow the inquiries of well-meaning individuals deter from reaching the goals that have been established.
