This week, Rick and I have been getting up at before the crack of dawn to walk. I was at a stall in weight loss and I have been working too hard to get this weight off. So add something new and changed a few eating habits.
Before the crack of dawn I have learned there is always the one old man outside sweeping his entire street, traffic changes if you change by 5 minutes. You are much hungrier and want to kill someone on day 2 because you don't realize that you need to eat different then you have been eating.
This morning the alarm went off and I turned it off and hit the second alarm. My body was telling me NO, so I listened. In the past that would have been a bad thing for my mindset, I failed, I did not get up. But not today. Listening to my body felt good. A friend reaffirmed it was good and I am in a much better place. I will get my walk in today, maybe later. Right now my body is thanking my for it.
Working for something I want, weight loss, to be healthier, seems to be going better this time in general. It does not feel like a fad, off to find the next best thing. I am just trying to be a little better every day and not beat myself up for it if it does not go well.
So hear is to listening and feeling good,

You are doing such a great job Desiree! And there should be no guilt in listening to our bodies! Besides, if this is truly a lifestyle change, we can not beat ourselves up everyday about our shortcomings, right? It will get exhausting and discouraging eventually. So each day, make better choices and own them. Telling you and telling myself at the same time! xo
