Wow, is it really only Day 4? I thought I was on Day 5. Guess that is tomorrow. I has been an amazingly weird week ... it was up, down, and all around, but I really did try my best to follow my plan, or at least get myself to start thinking in that direction. I know there will be many challenges. The migraine-headaches for one. Today I had a pretty severe headache. Because of my ordeal last month with the 50 day migraine-headache, my headaches get me a little worried that it might come back. The downside is when I have headaches as severe as a level 5 and up (1-10), all I can focus on is the pain and making it stop. Sometimes this means food. It never means run a mile or two ... unfortunately. It often means rest and sedative activity. Long story short, they always put a crimp in my diet plans. In addition to this, I am a woman and having a monthly reminder that "I LOVE SWEETS!!!" allot, doesn't help either. A woman's menstrual cycle can screw with their appetite, weight, emotional state and will power. It is enough to derail any diet. Unfortunately when I am in the middle of all that madness I can't allow myself to "cheat" as it were on my diet plan, but it does happen. So that is one of the many challenges I personally face, and I am sure millions of other women do too. But tomorrow morning when I rise, I will go for a brisk walk again. I need to measure the distance of my path. As apart of my overall goal of a fabulous dress size, my other goal is getting back to the point of run walking a 45 min. 5k. I am not a fast runner due to my asthma, but that was a personal best. I know I am likely back at 60 mins. We'll see. But whatever I do, the point is to keep trying.
Remember, "always do your best" means that if you fall down, you can always get back up again, dust yourself off and "do you best" at trying again.
