Knock It Off Day 4

I have finished 3 days of the Knock It Off program and feeling pretty good about it. I am slowly but surely changing my mindset and getting back into the swing of getting healthy. Last year reeked havoc on my body and this year I am going to give it some much needed TLC. I am going to mentally do things as well. It seems like every time that I lose weight I only reward myself when I hit major milestones. This time I am rewarding myself every 5 pounds that I lose. Another thing I have done in the past is to reward myself with athletic items such as a new gym bag or running shoes. Those things are a nice reward but I am saving them for major milestones. For the small hurdles that I overcome I am going to reward myself with something pretty. Even if its just a new tube of lipstick or a pair of cheap earrings. Anything that will put a bounce in my step will help me to feel more confident. The more confident I feel that more apt I am to stick with this.

Another thing I am doing differently this time is that I am not focusing 100% on weight loss like I have in the past. I think I get so obsessed with the whole weight loss/working out thing that I crash and burn. I am sure that I am also annoying to others with my constant barage of fitness facts! LOL! I am doing my food diary ahead of time and setting a schedule of when I workout. I have a whole life and want to live that way. Not just be onesided. Being healthy means more than just losing weight. Being mentally healthy is just as important as being physically healthy and vice versa. I guess I better get started on day 4.
