Called Out

The trainer where I take boot camp started this monthly weight loss challenge. Its free to join and you can win prizes as well as hit your goals. Talk about win win! Monthly you send in your measurements and progress is tracked by cars on a race track on.the wall for everyone to see. If you know me, you already know those little pink cars got my competitive side going. I was determined to be #1 and kick some ass!

Well, today I get an email from the trainer asking me if I was happy with my July results (lost 1.6 lbs) and if there was anything she could do. It was well worded, but man she called me out! She KNOWS full well those results are not where I want to be!

So I started writing her back, first line was how work got the best of me in July and I just didn't put my health as priority #1. That is a valid statement, but its also an excuse. The truth of it is that I also chose to make bad food decisions and didn't make time for exercise. I chose to ignore my goals. I chose to get in the way of progress. I chose to not be disciplined.

Sigh. That is pretty rough to admit to oneself. Then to admit it to someone else is almost embarassing. Its one of those smack yourself in the forehead moments. Because at the end of the day, no matter how busy I am, still gotta eat! And I KNOW quick healthy options. And I KNOW how to track my calories in fitnesspal. So at bare minimum, even if I had no time to workout, I can eat right! 

So I ended the email telling 

her all the things I was doing to combat my challenges. I WILL crush June's results in July because I cannot suck 2 months in a row. I WILL stick to my plan and NOTHING is getting in my way. It has been decided, time to work. I'm not one for making myself look stupid twice!
