Well it was my birthday last week, and I guess I've been busy with other things. Or maybe I just didn't feel the inspiration...to blog, that is. Or maybe it's because as usual there's a lot happening...except for the fact that I haven't lost any weight in the past two weeks.
But you know what? That's okay. I recently read an article that said it's much more important to focus on process-oriented goals than on outcome-oriented goals. Or something like that. What it means is this: you focus on a process--like I plan to get more activity into my life in the next week. Or maybe more specific, like I plan to swim for at least 4 days instead of 3 and try at least one new activity at the club, like the elliptical machine. By focusing on the process, instead of the results, I can keep my goals for a while and live with them long term. And by following them, I should eventually reach the results I want (to lose weight). But sometimes it just isn't helpful to put too much emphasis on the number itself. Yes, even though that's what we all want--a better number--if that's what your goal is--say to lose 5 pounds in the next 2-3 weeks. Then what happens after you reach that goal? So, I think you get it by now...
I'm confident that I am getting better each week. Just have to get a little bit better to see the numbers decrease on the scale. And I'm not on any time line for that. Just something I want to do. To feel better, look better, etc, etc. Okay, enough pontificating for now. :)
