Evening all. This is the beginning of a new beginning and a beginning of the end of this particular blog, with only 52 more days until the end of the year. I was going to write this blog every day for a year, but I have found it to be extremely hard, considering everything that's happened over this year...and is still happening.
Although I have tried to keep going, I have failed more than I have not, but I'm not in any way bothered by this, as each time I have chambered back up, dusted myself down and got back on with it. I am still 10lbs lighter than I was when I started this journey, and although it isn't the almost 2 stone I was a few months ago, I have learnt a lot this year and have managed to find a few friends along the way.
I still do have 52 days, and I still haven't given up on shedding as much weight as I can over this year, it simply won't be as much as I had wanted to at the beginning of the year. But 52 days is a long time and I can still try as hard as I can to get rid of the weight, tone up muscle and get as near as I can to the goal I set myself at the beginning of 2020. I feel that every pound shed from this point onwards is a bonus.
Since putting the weight back on, I have noticed a number of things that I hadn't appreciated until now. When I was at my lightest this year, just over 12 stones, I felt energised, my knees didn't hurt when I walked, my back didn't ache all the time and I slept better. Since putting the weight back on I have seen these ailments return and this has given me another incentive to get rid of the weight once and for all. My knees and back will certainly thank me at the end of it.
Nevertheless, today hasn't been easy or plain sailing. Despite the high level of motivation I have at the minute I still found myself craving crap. I have been back to eating it for a while and just wanted to keep eating crap today. I managed to keep it to a twirl as a treat but holy cow was it hard. Every time I looked around someone was eating crisps or chocolate or biscuits. It was like the whole world knew I was back on it and wanted to show me what I was missing. Still, I resisted for the most part and I'm quite happy with the day as a whole.
This time I am also going to try LCHF and see how that works, but I am just doing a bit or research on it first before I start. It sounds interesting and lots of people on healthunlocked swear by it, so it's worth a try.
So once more I am picking myself up, dusting myself down and starting again. I will never give up and I am determined to get to a place where I feel confident and comfortable in my own skin. I don't want moobs anymore, I want to have a flat stomach and be toned. Its a dream at the minute, but a dream I can achieve if I want to do it. I simply have to be driven...
Therefore, until tomorrow, stay confident, stay strong and keep going no matter how often you fall.
Thanks for reading.
Sean.
