Reality Check

So last week I was spot-on with my tracking. I measured, portioned, counted and weighed almost every single thing I ate. Convinced I was going to lose weight last week, I entered the meeting confidently. Only to find I was up 2 pounds. Really? Are you kidding me? I was so disappointed. That's putting it mildly. I tuned the meeting out after that. I was discouraged and unmotivated.

I know the body will do what the body will do. I know that it's about the journey and not about the destination. I know that it's more than what the scale says. I know all these things. It doesn't make it easier.

How do you maintain motivation? How do you pick up and continue when you don't see results? I know the answers to these questions too, so I'm just throwing them out there. Seeing what you think. What works for you? What doesn't work?

Good luck. Keep going. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" ~Lao-tzu
