March's Details

Sorry for the delay.  This post was trapped in cyberspace (read: I forgot to hit post and then went on vacation…duh me!)  A week late, but here it is:

Month three is done.  I have many excuses, but I'm not using those anymore.  I got off track and I'm getting right back on it. Now!  I'm supposed to be setting an example and yet I'm falling into the same trap as everyone else.

This.  Can.  Be.  Done.  I know it, I've done it before.  It's said that there are five stages of change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance.  At any given time, we are in one of those stages.  I am waffling between preparation and action, more to the prep side generally.

I have thought about thinking about changing.  I have thought about changing.  I want to change.  I have prepared most of my adult life for change.  I just have to do it.

I’m sure by now you have figured out how last month went number-wise.  I maintained my loss.  I didn't lose, but on the other hand, I didn't gain either.  And my inches are still going down, so that means I have gained muscle.  I lost another inch off my waist.  I am still s l o w l y shrinking and right now, that will have to do.  The tip for this post is to not give up.  If I had of kept going the first time I tried to lose weight, I would have been done 11 years ago….
