Do all the good you can, in all the ways you
can, as long as ever you can. John Wesley
Monotony or routine? How
do you see something that you do over and over?
It’s all about your attitude and how you see choose to see it I
suppose. I think if you can put certain
things in place so that you do them regularly without thinking (routine) especially
where your weight loss efforts are concerned then surely that makes it a little
less of an effort. Because as I’m often
heard to say, in my opinion nothing about weight loss is easy, so if I can do
something that makes it less difficult I’m up for that.
Yes routine is good, some people have the same breakfast
every morning which is a routine and it helps – I can’t seem to do that, I only
get 21 meals a week and I don’t want to make 7 of them the same, I’m much too
much of a foodie for that, yesterday I had a chicken and cheese slice toastie
cooked on my George Foreman it was lush for 12pp. The one routine that does help me without a
doubt is tracking, I’m rarely within my allowance, however since I started
tracking almost 3 weeks ago now I’ve improved and at least I’m aware of what I’m
doing. This weeks routine I’m working on
is the glass of water as soon as I get out of bed instead of the cup of tea, it’s
amazing how quick I can drink that water if I want my tea! If you’re on Weight Watchers monthly pass
then the have Routines covered more in detail on their esource, it’s also
looked at in the programme material and worth a look because I think putting
routines in places can make weight loss that little bit easier in such a busy
world.
It’s all too easy to feel like giving in isn’t it, especially
if you’re struggling but when you feel that way remind yourself why you started
and that if you gave in it would have all be for nothing, you should never quit
trying to live a healthier life and make yourself a healthier person, that’s a
lifetime role.
Monotony or routine, failure or set back, the words you use
are massively important, all you need do is say the word FAILED and how does it
make you feel? It’s a horrible word
that makes your heart sink, ‘failure’ implies that there are only two
possibilities, failure or success, but that’s not true, especially where weight
loss is concerned. You may not be where
you want to be yet, or where you’d hoped you be by now, but as long as you
haven’t given up and you are doing your best to take care of yourself when you
can then you’re never going to be a failure (doesn’t that word sound horrible!) With the feelings of failure come guilt and
maybe embarrassment and that’s not how you should ever feel about yourself nor
your behaviour if you are doing your best but finding it difficult because as I
said at the beginning of this blog – weight loss in not easy!
So if you’re not where you wanted to be by now regarding
your weight, or you’ve fell of the weight loss wagon for a bit, then you haven’t
failed you’ve been practising and/or taking a break. Life gets in the way, that’s why you have to
enjoy the journey and like me and so many of my members maybe be willing to
take the scenic route.
It’s important to love yourself, to take care of yourself
the best you are able and to never let your self talk be harmful to you.
Have a great day everyone, the sky is a lovely peachy colour
here this morning, so let’s have a ‘peachy’ kind of day. xxx
