I have not really been giving myself a chance to be successful at losing weight!
I eat most of the time well however i do have my moments where i CHEAT!
Usually i am cheating with snacks that i am eating.
Instead of having one granola bar, i will have two.
Instead of just eating my prepared lunch, i will munch on other food around the office.
Or i just overeat because i am just greedy!
All of this tells me that i am not giving myself a chance to actually lose weight.
Therefore, this weekend i said to myself, "self...give yourself a chance!"
This is definitely going to be my new mantra.
I am going to give myself a chance...
a) to be healthy
b) to be strong
c) to have the body that i want
d) to be light on my feet
e) to be able to run 30-minutes at 5.5miles again because i can
f) to wear a bikini next year and feel sexy
g) to get my body ready for mommy-hood
h) to feel good in mind, body and spirit
i) to become a better business partner with the hubster
I am going to give myself a chance once a day for the rest of the month.
I am going to treat myself good every single day. And hopefully everything will fall into place.
To keep myself accountable, i will be writing my meals down on a white board and keeping track of my workout schedule on a calendar. All in the hopes of giving myself a chance to succeed at being healthy.
You would think it's easy but the mind is such a powerful thing which i need to get some control over!

P.S. Thanks for stopping by and linking up to the Meaningful Monday Blog Hop! :)
This is great! I use LoseIt to track all of my food and it really makes me think twice about snacking or eating badly. OR it makes me decide that I WILL go for that run today after all! I think just being more conscientious of what you are putting in your mouth and what exercises you are doing to balance that is a great start! It sounds like you have the foundation, now just build the house!
I'm visiting from Fitness Friday!
Thanks for sharing! As women, especially, we need to give ourselves a chance and believe {know in our hearts} that we can ____! Good luck to you...you've got it girl!
Good for you!
Writing out your food plan for the day is an excellend idea. Make all the decsions once, and then just follow it.
This makes me think of that old Beatle's song, with a twist... All I am saying... is give ME a chance!
Go girl!
You've got to keep thinking it as treating, instead of cheating. And it's totally allowed. Just not too much too often.
I found you from the Fitness Friday blog hop.
