Getting back on track

Okay so I've been ill in one way or another for over a month now. I'm working with my PA (physician's assistant) and my therapist to figure out what's going on so that maybe sometime soon I'll feel better. Not feeling well has really thrown me off track with my WW plan. There's something about not feeling well that makes me want to eat and I'm not sure what that is yet but I'm journaling about it and know that I'll get it figured out. In the mean time I've decided that I have to get back on track even if I'm not feeling well.


The holidays also got me off track big time! I wasn't prepared or ready for them this year but I know that it will be different next year. I realize there will always be some event being celebrated every month so I need to be on track all the time regardless of the special occasions. So I've decided that I have to get back on track even if there is a holiday or special day coming up.


I haven't been getting in any activity at all and that also needs to change. I was thinking of canceling my YMCA membership because I haven't been going and basically I'm just wasting my money every month but I might rethink that. It's hard for me to get outdoors with the snow to work out and having the Y there would give me a place to get in some exercise. I think I just set myself up for too much to start and need to just do a little bit to start. But I need to do something activity wise. I'm not going to lose any weight if I just sit in my chair all day. So I've decided that I have to get back on track with the exercise even if it's cold and snowy. I'm paying for a Y membership and I need to use it.


All the junk in the house will be thrown out and I'll go by the store tomorrow and pick up the fruits and veggies and other healthy foods I need to get back on track. I've had the junk and honestly it didn't make me feel as good mentally or physically as I thought it would. I always felt better eating the healthier choices. Maybe I just needed to experience that. So I've decided that I have to get back on track with the healthier foods.


I haven't been going to as many meetings in the last month because of feeling ill and because of the holidays. No more of that. I need to go to at least 2 meetings a week like I was doing in order to stay on plan. I need the support, encouragement and inspiration that I get at meetings. So I've decided that I'll be at a meeting tomorrow morning even if I don't feel like getting up and going.


So I've made a lot of decisions about what I'm going to do to make things different. I'm going to start from here and move forward. I know that it would be easy to just give up or say I'll start next week, after the holidays, but why wait? Tomorrow is a new day and as good a day as any to get going and get back on track. I have the pieces of the puzzle that will get me to my goals and I'm willing to take the steps it will take to get there.
