Maybe this is hard because I told myself it would be. Maybe this time frame is always hard. The excitement of how good I feel is slowly being eclipsed by the day to day slog of choosing good food, having it ready and sticking with it. Maybe it's hard because I don't have anyone else to cook for to share something new with. Maybe it's hard because when it's been a long hard day at work no one has supper ready for me. Maybe it's hard because things that are worthwhile are just hard sometimes.
No matter how hard it is, I remain determined to keep learning and growing, open to new ideas and ways of doing. Words of wisdom or encouragement are appreciated and welcomed.
Love, elly

What you are doing is NOT easy, especially being fully aware of what you put in your body at every single meal. I'm guessing most people would have given up already and taken the easy road. We are so proud of you Elly and love you to the moon and back.
ReplyDeletePS - and if you have had a long hard day at work - we will have supper ready for you, anytime!
Yes it's hard. But not because you told yourself it would be hard, but because you knew it would be hard. The only thing I would offer is that you try and step up the exercise if you can, especially strength work. I suspect that your metabolism desperately needs a boost after so many months of net negative calories. Also I think the blog is essential. I know it seems like work sometimes, but maybe give even a little more detail when you do well, and when you don't. Just like Jenn there are many others that would happily come to your rescue, so make sure you make your confessions when you screw up. Let us hold you accountable. We owe you that! And I love you at least as much as Jenn, since I love you to the moon and UP! Hang in there, or I'm gonna drive down and kick your ass!
