Procrastination Queen
I walked 2 miles this morning! I am really increasing my endurance and stamina!
I have realized that it is not as difficult to get up in the morning to go for a walk as I made it out to be. I have found that the things I procrastinate over the most end up being the easiest to do. But only after I stop making excuses and building and creating the worst case scenario in my head do I really see how silly I am. It makes me wonder how much easier life would be if I was not a procrastination queen. I am also seeing that healthy living is not as difficult as I always believed. It is just different. Once I allowed my palate to adjust to fruit smoothies for breakfast, grilled chicken and veggies for dinner, and fruit instead of processed sugar for snacks, I do not feel deprived. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy a burger of fried chicken more than I would like to admit, but not as often as I once did. Maybe I am learning to control my emotions and not let my emotions control me. I am just thankful I have found sources of support. Most of all I am thankful I have found spirituality again. Today I feel truly blessed. (I just need to remind myself of this on bad days when I feel out of control and disconnected.)
Thats the way - you’ve definitely got the tools now because you have changed the only thing it’s possible to change- YOUR mind!
Fantastic positivity - I love it !!

Keep up the good work, you absolutely hit the nail on the head. I have felt like that so much. You are 100% right though, it is so easy to build things up and make them harder than they ever really are. This blog hit a chord for me, thanks for writing it and keep up the good work.
Finding alternatives and new things that work for you makes it easier to realize that different doesn’t mean deprivation! I am slowly getting there and trying to convince myself that it won’t kill me to stop drinking soda all day long!
I think what you are doing, really changing how you thin about things, life, is A W E S O M E . This si so much more than about weightloss, isnt it ? GREAT job on the 2 mile walk and in talking urself into it. I do the same thing with putting it off. I remind myself, God gave me these legs, I need to USE them… Wonderful blog
aw hun ur doing great, when i’m running and i want to stop i think of wierd things,lol like if i was at a club dancing and my feet hurt would i stop? no so why stop now, or i think of the army commertials ” i know ur tired i know it hurt but don’t stop” or simply the nike logo “just do it” i dunno i look for inspiration in anything, hope the technigues to not procrastinate help!
