Perspective on ones self: Today I hopped on the scale to see I made it back to where I was before this past weekend and even a little below. All of the sudden I "notice" a difference when I look in the mirror. When I applied lotion "wow, my leg muscle feels tight!" All because of a number on the scale. These changes may actually be occurring but I wouldn't notice them if I hadn't already been looking since the all-powerful scale said change is coming!
Perspective on ones friends: A couple I know was hitting a rough patch in their relationship. Of course I side with my friend, and the partner is completely in the wrong and so rude and insensitive. They have since had a rather mature discussion (funny how communication can work) and instantly there's a difference. The same comment that last week would be insensitive is funny and sassy today.
Perspective on food: The more success I find with proper planning and making better choices, the more likely I am to continue planning. It takes 21 days to build a habit. 3 weeks of eating well and making smart choices? Bring it on.
Perspective on relationships:
The jury is still out on that one. I don't think it wise to add another flailing aspect of my life to this blog, but it seemed worth mentioning as my perspective on relationships changes almost daily. I will say, however, that's part of the point of this whole weight-loss endeavor -- More confidence in myself which I hope translates to more confidence in meeting people and who knows, maybe even go on a date.
Maybe. That's a big maybe. Again, let's just deal with the issues at hand.
To recap: two good days in a row with smart food choices, more fruits and veggies, lots of activity and lots of water. 19 to go. The game is afoot!
