Monday, October 13, 2014 This blog is from Debra of Sparkpeople. Her blog was featured today and I loved it. In my weight loss journey, there are lots of places my head can be. It might be buried in the sand because I don’t want to know what I know. It might be up some other part of my anatomy because I want to do self destructive things to soothe myself or to lose weight. But the most dangerous place my head can be is buried is in the past thinking about the things I should have eaten, not eaten, done, not done, the missed opportunities, the wasted effort, the lost years, etc. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.  In accounting, when there are no other entries that will be made to an amount, a double line is drawn to show that the tally is final. The past is like that. No amount of anguish, hand-wringing, fat-shaming screeds or other maneuvers can change what happened then. No anger, resentment or instant replaying can change it.

Life simply gets in the way and I feel so stressed and discouraged. One minute I make up my mind to lose weight and in the next minute I am going weeks in a terrible rut, both exercise and food. What do I do? I wish I will have a more strong will and resolute to do this. I need to lose weight and I have seen myself lose weight before why can't I do this again. If I want to analyze this year 2014, I had come as low as 76kg this year. What was I doing right then? What am I doing wrong now at 81kg? Is it possible to lose 20kg and keep my weight between 60 and 65kg? I don't want to be pushed to do this, I mean I don't want anything negative to push me to lose weight now that I am doing it for me. I remember a song that says "you can get it if you really want, but you must try and try". Do I really want to lose weight? Am I desperate about it? What do I do now???

Gymra is another YouTube channel that is saddled with the uploading of workouts that ranges from Pilates to yoga, total body workouts, upper body, lower body and other circuit training. Judging by the little time, I spent with working out to those videos. I think they are awesome and glowing with sweat was achieved effortlessly. My only reason why their 5 stars maybe reduced to 4 is this funny observation. The workout instructors or actresses as the case maybe keeps smiling even when they are breathless. I don't expect them to squeeze their faces but it is not as easy as it seemed anyways. If they hope to sell their videos to me with that strategy, I am not sure it will work. Checking out fitnessblender, they know when you should be tired even the instructor's voice is stressed at that point. I love those! Check her out!
