Current Tunes: “House” on TV
Can’t figure out why I’ve lost negligible weight over the past week. I’ve eaten less than 2000 calories/day, worked out five days in the week, plus some extra exercise via basketball on Saturday. This is very frustrating. After finally summoning the willpower and dedication to finally loose weight and be healthier, seems there’s been little response from my body.
Past week or so I’ve pretty much only eaten meat for 1 meal/day. Today I’ll likely be completely vegetarian for all my meals. I’m gradually progressing towards being 100% vegetarian. That probably comes as a shock to some of you but no one’s more shocked than me. I think I’ll need to enlist the help of some already practicing veggie friends of mine, for advice and what not. If sacrificing meat (on top of soft drinks and candies) is what it takes to loose weight and be in better shape, I will make that sacrifice.
Right now that’s what I want most out of my life. I want to be in shape, healthy, attractive. I will do whatever it takes to achieve this, within reason anyway. To think, I used to be thinner, in better shape. When I look at pictures of myself from those days, I’m overcome with feelings of incredible anger and guilt. I want to be that person again.
Yeah, it’ll be a long road, and it will be hard and will take mountains of dedication, concentration, willpower. I cannot get discouraged. I must push myself each day, each week, and take what success comes and never dwell on my stumbles and failures, small or big. The key is to push on. If you know me, if you see me in person, feel free from time to time to encourage me, remind me that it’s a process and not a miracle.

Hey, just want to remind you, it's a process not a miracle.
ReplyDeleteAlso, be sure to notice the change in stamina that occurs after each workout. About 2 months ago I had this idea for the most minimal workout. Wakeup, do 30 situps, then do as many pushups in 1 repetition as possible. First day I couldnt even do 20 pushups and felt horrible. Now, without missing a single day, I've managed to up that to 40 pushups in one repetition under 1 minute. But it didnt happen quickly, in fact I was never able to do more than 1 extra pushup from one day to the next. And occasionally I slid backwards going from 30 pushups one day to only 28 the next.
The process is not easy, but doing something small everyday like that really makes you realize that given more time (say 1 year) you can reverse many of these bad health trends.
