Yesterday was a fast day, so no surprise really that my morning weight today was really low – I’m currently at 92.4 kilo which is a 2.2 kilo weight loss in 2 days.
Yesterday I woke up early and took the time to read through the first chapter in Joe Vitale’s “Life’s Missing Instruction Manual”
The first chapter is called “You” and I found that reading it now was really appropriate.
“What you do now creates your future” and “Circumstances don’t make you, you make you”
Those are two quotes from the beginning of the chapter that seems very much in tune to the exercise and weight loss journey I’ve just begun.
You see, it’s not what I think I’ll do sometime in the future that makes it happen – it’s what I do right now that will get me moving in the right direction. And right now I’m making decisions and taking action that will help me lose the last 15 kilos to reach my goal weight.
Jim Edwards of How To Get Anything You Want is quoted as having said this:
“If you want to change your life for the better, change your belief about what’s possible for you, what you’re entitled to, and what you can accomplish if you simply put your mind to it”
Is it uncomfortable to do something other that what you’ve been doing for decades?
Sure, but the actions I’ve made in the last 20 years haven’t exactly had a positive impact on my health, so stepping out of my comfortzone is the least of my worries.
Of course it’s awkward to set foot in the gym 30 kilo overweight like I did last year. And it’s also weird to say no to cakes when we’re celebrating something at work – and fast days and shake-only days doesn’t exactly feel right when everybody around me eats “real” food.
But I’m positive it’ll get easier with time.
