Getting There!

Yr. 2, Day 259,260 - The Heat is On!

Mother Nature turned up the heat in the Niagara Region of Southern Ontario. We really did not experience Spring weather this year - we have kind of gone from winter to summer overnight! I quite like the heat and I love getting all sweaty when I run in it!

The heat has also been turned up in my motivation and commitment to success. June 1st I will weigh in and you can expect to see the ticker go up. It's sad, but it's my reality. The positive is I am turning up the heat now and not 40 pounds later. This my friends is breaking the cycle!

I ran tonight with my running partner and then we met with our other friend, all of us struggling to get back on track. Neither of my friends have truly been obese, but they recognize that they have been eating out of control, after being on track before Christmas. It was good to share our concerns, our goals and we will meet again next week to discuss how they were met.

I have three months to get to goal. It will take consistency - none of this being on track for a few days and then having a couple of bad days. That does not work! What happens is the bad days start to outweigh the good days, and before you know it, you are back to your old lifestyle. I know the cycle. I have lived the cycle and it is my time for that cycle to be broken! AMEN!

Eating less, moving more,
Dawne

You are so wise... to see that cycle! It's not okay to make good eating choices and then a couple days of bad choices because those bad choices DO add up and take over. I am learning this myself and DO NOT want to go down that path.

So awesome that you are running. Good luck with your goals, I know you can do it!! :)

I'm in too. Three months to my one year marker, three months to lose 30 lbs which will bring me to 90 lbs total since Aug 30/10; three months to walk in the plan God has given; three months to totally trust Him; eating less, moving more all for the glory of God. Thank you Dawn for being the ongoing catalyst in my life.
