These past two weeks were about support. I was able to communicate with some of my friends and I learned that I do have an audience besides the handful of people who constantly contact me. The feedback and support was a real motivator boost for me. I know it is called One’s Own Will but, in anything in life you will have a hard time trying to accomplish a huge goal by yourself. That is the reason why I ask for comments and advice every week. I do not only take the advice and use it for myself but that support really helps with my mental.
I heard “you are doing a good job”, “keep it up”, but the realest comment I heard was also the most roughest one. Someone told me they started to read my blog and two weeks into it they were already tired of it and ready to quit reading. Their reason was actually legit as they told me they were tired of reading the “I fell off” posts and started to question if I was serious. That comment was a huge dose of reality I needed.
I realized that when I started this that if at anytime and the many times I didn’t take it serious, I was losing my audience. I was not only wasting my time but also yours. They always say the best critiques maybe the harshest ones and at that moment I saw why. Even though I already declared that there was a reawakening in One’s Own Will, I knew from then on that I do have eyes watching me and that my support will always be there.
With that said, I did gain about 3 pounds back in week 10. I know what your thinking “same song and dance”, but I did get back on track and I lost that 3 lbs this past week. I felt great about it as well. It was the first time I played basketball in about more than a month and I thought I would have been really sluggish but I felt right back in the same mode I was in before.My diet went back to the right track and there wasn’t any fast food consumption this past week.
