This Journey brings about a whole new set of challenges and goals for me being the second time around. I am self-motivating to exceed my milestones, not just in the numbers but also in my non-scale victories. For example, planning meals is the easy part but the actual prep of those meals on the other hand....I have a love hate relationship with. Long days and busy weekends can sometimes throw me off track moving into the work week but re-focusing is important to continue in the right direction. I also have to keep my food choices in mind. Continuing to track for accountability and being attentive to my sodium, carb, and sugar intakes just as much as caloric intake, are also important for me. WorXing out is great but it is a mute point if the nutrition does not follow. I will still have cheats now and again and I am still working to build out my own personal menus, but it is a work in progress and getting easier to gravitate for the almonds and fruit versus bread and cheese.
Consistency is key and it has also been the pain in my side over the years. Falling off track is something that happens to me all too often. The past few weeks have been rather rocky but instead of allowing life to take control, I am keeping control of my routine for the most part which is indeed my 'Oh YEA' as we start a new week. Granted I have not prepped my meals as well as I would have liked the past few days, I am still tracking and back to the WorX which feels great.
So although this is the second time around, I plan to treat it like the first. To increase and maintain my energy, excitement for my potential, and motivation to continue moving the scale in the right direction.
