Geez it's been forever since I've had the moment to get in a Wellness Wednesday post. Life happens (right!?!) Let me back track for a minute. My fall training came to a halt several weeks ago. In short- I'm so over the training and falling in/out of love with running. I've blown way too much money registering for races, and losing momentum that I finally figured out I just don't like races. I would much rather just go for a short run, clear my head, and pick of the pieces- ya know what I mean???
Then there's been my inconsistent work schedule, family obligations, and dare I say just down right laziness. All of which has damped my mood as of late.
Major lesson learned: comparison is thief of joy. Now that I got that rant out of the way, on to my point. Through all of this, I learned I have been self sabotaging myself about my choices (and lack thereof). I could go on and on about a million and one excuses, but last time I checked that never got anyone anywhere. So now that I've recognized what my issues are, the solution is pretty simple - better choices.
Yes, I'll have good and bad days, but overall that's my focus. It's more than just a number on a scale, or my pant size, or how many calories I've consumed…bottom line is I have to make better choices. So right now (and moving forward) I'm choosing to take a split second, and think twice before doing everything. Maybe that means choosing to pack my lunch instead of going to the cafe' or walking my son up the block to school instead of driving. Whatever it is my mind is set.
After all I'm pretty confident that the sum of these better choices will bring me closer to the results I've been desiring.
Be Well,
LaToya
