motivation...
hard to come by these days. i am doing okay on this whole eat right/exercise more thing, but could do better. today, i went to 5:45 a.m. spinning class with a teacher that isn't my favorite as she's not incredibly positive. it's amazing the difference the teacher makes, i had a bad attitude while i was there and was thinking that if i didn't eat so much, i wouldn't have to try so hard. the scale says i've lost 8 pounds since i started 3+ weeks ago. however, visually i don't see it and my clothes aren't getting any looser. this is depressing. i'm going to pilates tonight and a hike up city creek tomorrow, i think that'll put me in a better mood about things. i had a personal training session on monday night and she wants me to write down everything i eat until next wednesday a.m. when we meet again to see if i need to make any more changes. i keep telling myself to be patient, but it's hard. why can conrad lose a noticeable amount of weight while i'm gone for a week and i've been exercising faithfully for over a year and nothing?! i know, i know, men and women have different body chemistry, but still, is this really fair?? life isn't fair, patience is a virtue, right? this is what i keep trying to remind myself.
