The fitness challenge is progressing well. I suspect I picked the best time as after two days and two gym sessions plus 4 hours dancing and another session, my legs are telling me loudly and long they are there.
I have noticed this morning ( Day 2 of early arising to got to the gym) that a quiet voice in the back of my mind kicks in and tries desperately to persuade me to stay wrapped in quilting just 10 minutes more...or "since you are going to the gym after work , why go this morning? Stay here, write in your blog, chat with your friends....". Interesting what speaks to you and tries to control you.
Since I have committed to this wellness journey, I am more conscious of the need to break old patterns, accustomed ways of behaving and living and doing things. A shake up is galvanising!!!
So, here I am, feeling happy with myself and determined to see my way through this 12 week challenge.
What does your inner voice say? I have realised you are able to break old subversive patterns in the way we talk with ourself. I am conscious that I CAN do this. Not that I will start and not finish, then then give myself 5 different acceptable excuses. I want this investment of time in myself. I want to give this example of self love in a positive way, to those I love.
Sometimes my inner voice tries to justify things for my health, like..."One little cookie won't do that much to your bloodsugar." or, "You deserve a reward for losing all that weight, so have the Caramel HighRise." Things like that. Sure, I know that devil is sitting on my shoulder, and sometimes it takes a great deal of willpower to brush it off. Sometimes the devil does win. lol. Hang in there. Hugs.
