If you can’t acknowledge your own accomplishments, how can you expect others to do so? I think that’s probably the biggest lesson that I took away from Pete Cohen’s session today. He asked us if we’re proud of ourselves for making it as far into the program as we have and I have to say, yes, I am pretty darned proud of me. The last 30 days have been so full of win that I can barely stand it!
So far these are my accomplishments:
~ Started an exercise program and stuck with it for longer than a couple of days
~ Lost a total of 8 lbs (gained back 2 lbs)
~ Adjusted my cooking and my eating habits
~ Formed a circle of friends who share my goals and concerns
~ Learned to accept that I will have bad days but that doesn’t make me a bad person
I’ve also learned a few things:
~ I really do enjoy working out
~ I’m capable of doing more than I thought
~ My family is much more supportive than I ever thought they’d be
~ Having a network of people with the same goals is incredibly important
