Staying on Track is difficult

Hey friends,
I am finding that staying on track in this journey to health and fitness is a challenge.  I am finding that I have to be doubly determined.  Things come along that railroad my attempts.

The past week it has been:-

• Work issues that led to emotional fatigue;
• Long hours at work that high jack my eating;
• Tiredness....so tired I haven't done as much running as I could have.

However.....today is the start of new week, renewed determination that I will continue.

On a positive note, I did a lot of moving from building to building with my job so whilst I only ran once  I did cover a lot of steps so my activity wasn't as low as it felt.

My eating was much better and I did lose 0.7 kgs.  Small but in the right direction.

In reviewing my week it was good to look at what I did well - the small things and what I could do to improve.  If I only improve slightly each week overtime it will result in reaching my goal.

This week I want to run 4x in the week; drink more water and eat cleaner for at least 5 days.  I will let you know how I go.

The other thing my reflection/review has revealed: 

• Help me realise how powerful the mind is and those little voices in my head.
• I didn't achieve everything but I improved - so I will not look of it as a failure!
• Emotional fatigue saps my energy but I have to push through;
• I have to change the mindset from 'too hard' to 'everday it gets easier';
• The more I exercise the less stressed I become.

Have a great week.....I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength....
