My obstacles this week and weekend will be time.
We are going on a small vacation (traveling to visit family). I will be cooking meals while we are away and will have limited access to internet (which is how I track my food). Instead of looking at it as some horrible curse, I will take it on as a challenge. With the beautiful weather we look to have, I should have ample exercise time.
I should be able to plan things out enough that I can get some easy meals in without going over my calorie budget. But, that means I need to prioritize that ahead of other things.
The hard thing, for me, is the more time I put into calorie-tracking, walking, etc., the less time I put into home management and life management.
But, in the long run, if I don't take care of myself and let myself be fat, I'm pretty miserable. I've felt pretty good this week. A couple times I was frustrated that I had to think about food so much and couldn't just eat and not worry about it so much. But logically, that doesn't hit the same level of frustration of not being able to fit into my clothes. Of going to the store and not liking anything because I'm dissatisfied with the body I'm in.
I've been very frustrated lately with my body. I'm sure that frustration has leaked over to other areas of my life.
So, that concept on the tip of my brain - I'm going to get off here and get some things done!

Hang in there, girl. Soon enough, tracking calories will be second nature and you won't have to put so much mental energy in to it.
Good job on reframing the trip in to a challenge rather than an obstacle. You'll make it.

Thank you Lori!
