Day 6: Fitness – Failure – FANTASTICness

by Erica on November 6, 2007

Fitness

Surprisingly – I LOVE WORKING OUT – I always have. For me – it’s always just a matter of time (or lack there of). For a while I was making time early in the morning – working out with my lovely personal trainer Sarah. Now I’m taking some Yoga, Step Aerobics, Tai Chi classes and swimming. I enjoy activities that last no more than 90 minutes and that allow me to clear my head. Kind of the equivalent of that trusted GTD System – but for my body.

Failure

Where I always fail on my weight loss journey has to do with FOOD – or more importantly my associations with food. If I’m sad I eat (and I eat a lot). But if I’m happy I eat too. I eat to celebrate, to medicate, to socialize, and even to compromise. I have lunch meetings weekly – so staying on a diet is REALLY tough. But lately…

FANTASTICness

FANTASTICness of all FANTASTICness I am less hungry than ever before. And I don’t eat to medicate – and I haven’t been eating fast food – and I’ve been stopping well before I’m full…and I’ve been losing weight and keeping it off. I’d like to talk more here about what changes I’ve made – and why I think for once I’m finding the strength to stop the madness. But that will come in later posts. For now – I’d just like to thank you all for your encouragement.

Keep up the good work! I’d love to hear more. I did Junk Food Free July, and lost 10 pounds over the month. So it’s possible to make a big change in a short period of time.
