Today it is cold, miserable and rainy. I would love to feel the nice warm sun beating down on my face for a change. So I have decided I am going to have a positive mind set today and think about our vacation a few weeks a go to the Sunshine State. I still have a hint of my tan left so I will enjoy what is left of it.
Mind set is even important when you are trying to lose weight. Matter of fact I feel from the bottom of my heart it is one of the most important parts of setting the pace for consistent weight loss, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose. When I first stated on my weight loss journey I made a decision then not to dwell or even think about the amount of weight I had to lose. I take it 10 pounds at a time. Always rewarding myself with a special treat with each 10 pounds I lose.
Funny thing is when I first started my reward system it would be always be something to eat which I had missed eating. Now that has changed to something for myself, maybe a facial or a pedicure. As time passes food comes less important to you.
If you should fall off the wagon please DO NOT have the mind set ... oh dang, I messed up I might as well eat everything in site. I was the world's worse to do that. I would mess up and then I would think ahhh I might as well wait until after the weekend to get back on track (even it was only Tuesday). The weekend would come and go and I would not get back on track. Now if I mess up I think OK ... it is over, I enjoyed it, now I will eat something low in calories the rest of the day.
If you live somewhere that is warm and sunny please send some to my part of the world.
Enjoy your day.
Until Next Time ... Keep Smil'n and Stay Healthy.
