Well it's Monday. It's raining and I'm a bit tired. I was up this morning, but didn't get my workout in because I had a sick child. Oh well, I will have to work extra hard tonight. On another note, today is my dad's birthday. He passed away almost 2 years ago and I miss him terribly. The whole weekend was kind of a downer and I don't like feeling down. So today, I'm going to honor my dad's memory by picking myself up, dusting myself off and getting back to business.
I'm having coffee with Silk french vanilla creamer right now and I'm loving it! This journey has really helped me to understand some things about myself. I'm an overachiever, I like a challenge and I want to finish what I start. :-) With that being said, I will become a healthier version of myself, I will reach my goal weight and I will maintain it! There, I've said it, I've declared it and, with God's help, I will achieve it!
Another thing I learned this weekend is that dairy is a migraine trigger. I've suffered from migraines since high school and never really paid attention to why I get them other than stress. This weekend I tested a theory and noticed that when I tried to introduce dairy into my system I got a migraine. So I have to stay away from dairy, not only because of my lactose issues but because migraines SUCK!
I still hate the scale, but it's necessary, I guess. I am noticing how different I look in pictures. That's kind of my way to gauge my success. Yes, I know it's weird, but right now that's the only way I can "see" the weight loss. I do feel better, healthier, have more energy and can do things I didn't think I could do (like run), but my eyes need the pictures right now. Don't judge me! ;-)
Hoping for a great week of eating right, exercising and learning more about myself. Hope you have a great week as well.
