Accepting Change and WK2 Results

I got this amazing comment the other day from Kyle in response to my post about an opportunity I have and an email my cousin sent me.  I wanted to share it with everyone because it is another great way of stating what a person goes through when experiencing a big change in their life. Of letting go of the past…..

He said:

“It’s the battle between bargaining and acceptance in our stages of grieving really.  Having our previous life die is no different than the passing of a loved one that forces us to go through all the stages of grief and until we get all the way through it, we are always at risk to return.”

I will never be going back to my normal, I am creating a new life. Waiting, hoping, wishing this diet was over so that I could go back to normal, will never happen. Change is hard but it is worth it…

On to my Wk 2 results:

#1 – no alcohol. This was and is a huge success for me. Day 14 and more to come.

#2 – No eating after 7:00 p.m. Did not do well here. Week was messed up with son and wife coming to stay late Sunday night until Tuesday. Each night dinner was late – so I ate late. Now that in itself is fine, but I did snack a couple of times. I really need to get this one under control.

#3 – Increase my exercise. My goal is to do 4/7 days this week. 1/7 – epic fail. I preach to other bloggers they shouldn’t use the term “failure” because I don’t think people themselves are failures – maybe the results of their actions are, but not them personally so depending on how it is penned on how I react to it . But this goal was a big fail for me this week.

I am out of town this coming week and I am not sure how much exercising I will be able to do. There is a two hour time difference (I will be up earlier) and getting up even earlier to exercise may not happen. I have plans though and hope to be able to get them in action.

My Week 3 goals will be posted soon.

I hope you are all having a FANASTIC week!
