trying for consistency-again

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog making all sorts of wonderful promises and so far I have not kept them. I do great the first part of the week but then I get to Thursday and for whatever reason it falls apart. It's not really because of the weekend, I just lose control. I am in the last week of a game and am going to have a hard time making it.

I really want to focus on consistency and practicing self-control. Today I found a $10 Diet Bet 4 game so I joined it hoping it would get me back on track. I had wanted to join a DB4, I'm in a DB10 right now but I don't have a lot of money to spend on it. I had a $16 credit but most games are $25 or above. I know I could have started a game myself but I did not want to do that. Anyway, I jumped on the chance when I found the cheaper game today. I want to take the next 28 days and really focus on consistency in fact even though I'd love to lose the 4% I don't want to focus on the weight loss. I want to focus on doing what I know to do day in and day out for the next 28 days. I want to spend the next 28 days eating the calories I have committed to and doing the exercise I've committed to and getting the rest I know I need to get each night.

So, on your mark, get set, go! Let's be consistent!

Thanks Tori and Gina. I'm actually not really making any changes as in starting to do new things. I just want to do them consistently. I already exercise and I already count calories and I already drink water. I just want to do them on a consistent basis instead of sporadically.

Hey Rebecca! One thing that's worked for me is that I try and make one significant change at a time. For instance, I will make a commitment to change my diet by cutting out wheat. So that is my focus. All other activities will happen or not. Then, in a month, I choose to increase physical activity to 5 - 30 minute workouts a week. I've already gotten 30 days in on my wheat free diet so adding one more focus isn't so hard. Basically, try doing one focus at a time while maintain basic healthy guidelines along the way. You can do this!!!

I just read your previous blog. You want to change a lot e.g. exercise 6 times a week. I also would like to be so consistent but it wont work for me. So at the moment I only concentrate on my calorie intake and do not beat myself up if I dont exercise but I am proud of myself if I do. The plan is to start exercising regularly when I feel I am ready. We can do this - it just takes a while :)
