Soo..this is pretty much, what? the 4th blog entry I've made concerning my goal to lose weight? Probably.
I know that the number on the scale doesn't define who I am nor does it even define how healthy and fit I am. Shocker, right? It's true. Did you know that muscle weighs more than fat? Anyway, the main point of this is that..
I really don't want to wait until New Years to actually do something about exercising again. I've gained a bit. If I'm being honest, I'm at a 'healthy' weight for my age and height. But I know what I used to weigh and I know how I felt back when I was more active. And the number on the scale is shockingly higher than what I used to weigh considering I haven't done any sort of strength-training in the past 2 months..longer.
Most people would laugh in my face and say...you? Girl, please.. you don't need to lose anything.
I wish people would be slightly supportive of someone actually acknowledging and wanting to lose weight. Lots of people sure are supportive of me indulging. No one seems to stop me or question me whenever I eat, lol.
The point is..you don't have to wait for a calendar date and for the clock to strike midnight to start achieving your goals. Whatever that may be. Little steps. Day by day. Encourage yourself along the journey. Even if it's hard at times. Even when it doesn't seem like anything's changing or happening.
As for me, I think I'll go back to my paleo lifestyle. The thing about a lifestyle is..it's lifelong. Or, well..it should be. But even though I haven't been eating as such, I'm not going to beat myself up about it like I used to. No, see..I'm simply just picking up where I left off.
Even if it's been half a year.
