I used to think, if I can't work out for at lesat a half hour, what's the point? LOSER. But, recently, I'm OK with whatever I can do, as long as it's something. I'll get there. Be kind to yourself.

I think NOT trying to be PERFECT has kept me going for the last nine months. I've taken days off here and there, and I've had some big food splurges here and there but I always go back to my healthier lifestyle. I feel better about myself and I think it has made it easier for me to continue...<BR/><BR/>TracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346484163998378215.post-56864444193767778142009-03-10T22:20:00.000-05:002009-03-10T22:20:00.000-05:00Wow, I can't really relate to this at all.

If I had to be a perfectionist with diet and exercise, I would have thrown in the towel long ago! <BR/><BR/>I think you were smart to cut back when your knees and hips were hurting, because if you work through pain you can end up with an injury that will sideline you for weeks. I feel like weight training has taught me to listen to my body better, to know when I'm just being a wimp and I could add more weight, and when something "doesn't feel right" and I need to stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346484163998378215.post-61738124472039953632009-03-10T21:13:00.000-05:002009-03-10T21:13:00.000-05:00I am the same way.

It is easier for me to be like that with exercise, but I am so like workhardeatwell when it comes to eating. Eating is my weak area for sure. <BR/><BR/>And HEY YOU RAN 2 MILES! HOLY CRAP! THAT IS AWESOME! FREAKING 1.5 MILES IS AWESOME! Have you ever seen how far that is laid out straight? It is a whole freakin' lot!

But on the other hand I know that mistakes happen and can be fixed. I failed a course in my first year of university (accounting). Now I have a law degree and work at one of the best and biggest law firms in Canada. Thanks for this post - I needed the reminder that one mistake doesn't ruin everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346484163998378215.post-53600504181053937012009-03-10T15:09:00.000-05:002009-03-10T15:09:00.000-05:00It is so weird you would mention this---I was just...It is so weird you would mention this---I was just thinking yesterday about this kind of thing.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346484163998378215.post-40976158319949666002009-03-10T14:29:00.000-05:002009-03-10T14:29:00.000-05:00Oh, I definitely get this mentality.

And I keep telling myself if I can't lose my 20 pounds soon (immediate gratification is a must), then it's not worth it doing little by little. I've been stymied by this mental roadblock for a while. It's very frustrating. We have to learn to appreciate achieving the small goals, no matter how small they are.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346484163998378215.post-8731845436487070202009-03-10T14:20:00.000-05:002009-03-10T14:20:00.000-05:00i do sudoko and crossword puzzles in pen and then ...i do sudoko and crossword puzzles in pen and then just right over the mistakes REALLY hard : ) <BR/>i think for the most part i'm more slack than you.creative kerfufflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645362903422740070noreply@blogger.com
