I've been struggling the last two weeks. I've never been more than 100-200 calories above my goal (I'm aiming for 1300 calories) but somewhere about two weeks ago, I stopped losing. It happened right about the time that the monthly scourge hit me....a week and a half early might I add. So is it something within my female cycle that is all out of whack? Who knows. A plateau already? Seriously? I know the last few days I've become more lax about my eating. It becomes a bit of a fatalistic attitude. Why bother if the scales aren't going to show the results. But I know that's wrong. I know that the results will come along if I continue. So continue I will.......
Zumba tonight........
I have set a goal. I love to write and would love to actually follow that dream down the line. (there, I said one of my deep dark secrets out loud). I lack discipline...so while I have some great ideas floating around in my head, I lack the discipline needed to sit down EVERY DAY and write...in order to have a novel written...in the books....down on paper. So I have set a goal. 1000 words EVERY DAY. I have a tracker on my phone. (I wish the tracker would remind me if I didn't do it....hmmmm maybe I should look for a different version). I have been writing every day. Right now I'm just writing some fun works and some fun pieces. Just getting myself into the practice of sitting down and doing it every day. We'll see.
Sometimes I wished that i wasn't a dabbler. I dabble in so many things. Photography, writing, crafts...you name it. I dabble. I am told that I do a fair job at whatever I put my mind to. I've been told that my photography is really good, that I have the 'eye' for it. I've been told that my writing is good that I can tell a story and the reader is drawn in and invested in the story that I'm telling. I've received praises for my quilts, rugs, cross stitch pieces, and other various crafts. I'm not complaining...but seriously, wouldn't it be nice to be just spectacular at one thing in your life. To be able to do one thing so spectacularly that you are successful at it?????
Am I dabbling at weight loss?
