1. No fast food
2. No sugar (treats, desserts)
3. No alcohol
4. No soda
5. Workout every day
During this time I allowed myself two days to drink alcohol and one day for a dessert since this time would be over Valentine's Day and my work party. The first week was much easier than I would have ever imagined. I made it through that time without breaking down on any of the promises. The second week was another story. I ended up giving into one of them and slowly they were all getting broke. I will admit I am at fault for breaking down but when I think back to what went wrong I keep thinking of one thing. My family and friends were telling me it was too much, I was setting myself up for failure, etc. All of this in the back of my mind was telling me I couldn't do it. I knew it would be hard so from day one. I messaged a few people and asked them to support me and hold me accountable. Even with asking them for the much needed support I didn't get it. I learned from then on I need to hold myself accountable first and foremost and figure out a way to make it work.
Today I am re-creating my promises and will be holding myself accountable to these short term for the next 3 weeks. I feel like I need some kind of end date to get myself over the hardest part of the hurdle. From there I will set a new goal until they become long term habits.
1. Workout 5 days a week at minimum.
2. Eat breakfast every morning.
3. Eat balanced and healthy meals.
4. Say 4 positive things about the day every day and put them in a journal.
5. No soda or candy. Dessert only on special occasions.
I got this! I can do it! One step at a time to a healthier and happier Meesh!
