This past week was a mental battle inside of my head. I started to realize my mindset was completely off. I was legit nervous on what the scale would read. I was not confident and I started to realize that I have mentally made the scale an enemy. This is not what I thought how I would begin to think when I started this journey. This has become more a mental struggle than it has been a physical one.
I did everything the same as I did the week before. I walked 2 miles everyday and kept up with with the same diet. My parents left town so I was not over eating during dinner. But I still didn’t feel like I was giving it my all. I don’t know if it was me being too tough on myself or maybe a lack of success has started to get to me. I realized that I needed to make this fun again. Of course I take this seriously but the enjoyment is gone. I knew I needed something fresh.
Then one day I saw my job was hosting a biggest loser challenge. Teams of 4 would compete against each other in a weight lost competition. The winning team would be based off of lost weight percentage rather than pounds lost. This is want I needed to boost my spirits again. I am a competitive person so doing this challenge would push me even further because I would hate to be the weakest link on my team. So I joined a team of 2 older women and a middle age man who are not very active working out wise. It will be interesting to see how this pans out but I believe if my team wants any chance to win it will be imperative that I push myself to a new level and go all out to losing weight. We will see and I think it will be fun to write about it in future posts. Our team name is “Victory is Ours”, I am confident that name will hold true.
