Expectations

I have high expectations.  Of myself.  Of other people.  Did I mention of myself?  

I started many different methods last week and the results were disappointing at best.  I believed that I would lose a significant amount of weight in that week and I didn't.  2.2 pounds, while something, is not what I would call stellar.  

Did the plan fail?  Did I not follow it properly?  Was there some other reason?

Regardless of the reason, my expectations were not met.  At that point, I had two choices.  I could let it defeat me or I could go around.  I considered throwing out the whole program and just having a pizza.  Then the reality set in that one week does not make or break a successful program.

I did follow the plan.  I ate well and according to the Meal Plan.  I went to Zumba 4 times.  I followed the February Challenge and did those work outs as well.  I took Lean Mode pills as directed.  If anything, I didn't eat enough and my body is reacting to all the extra exercise.  There are a number of possibilities but the answer is definitely not eating like a crazy person.  So, I didn't.  I followed the plan today.  I took a day to allow my body and my mind to rest.  I reset my attitude.

Lesson of the day:  Expectations need to be managed so they don't limit your success.

I'm Baaaaaaack

It has been far too long since I have been on here and that is unfortunate because it has been a wild ride.  As I continue on my journey, I recognize that I am not quite done yet and probably never will be.  That being said.  I have maintained for the last year or so and I would like to just get over that last few pounds.  It's time for a kick start!  So, I will be starting a 31 day challenge using a couple of different tools and I am excited to see the results.

Tools of the Trade:

1) Superhero Fitness/MOVE Meal Plan by Keaira LaShae and Brina K

2) MOVE February Challenge/Part of March

3) Evlution Nutrition Lean Mode (Fat Burner)

4) I am in the middle of a DietBet

5) My Fitness Pal - just for reference and continued tracking


Let's do this!
