I have taken 3 days off of my workout this week and haven't really been following my food plan. I had decided to take a couple of weeks during the holidays and slow down a little and allow myself to indulge in the season. I knew that I would most likely not lose this week. I hoped that I would simply hold my weight, I prepared my psyche in case I gained.... good thing too, I gained 5 pounds.
Okay, so I can look at this in one of two ways. I had given myself permission to go off my plan and 5 pounds will not devastate me or I could feel guilty that I went the opposite direction from where I want to go. I decided that I do not have room for the guilt in my life.
This journey is not just about renovating my body, it about renovating me, inside and out. I am surrounding myself with positive things and positive people. I am allowing my happiness and the happiness of those around me to be my guiding light. I have had to really look at myself and and when you honestly scrutinize your life, you have to take responsibility for what is you and actively make the decision to change it. This last couple of weeks spending more time with my family and really enjoying the holidays was my reset button, I got my big girl panties on now and ready to get back on track and start this new year already in motion
