Excuse the Lord of the Rings humor. These are the random thoughts that pop into my head while I'm battling the evil elliptical machine. Don't judge me.
So we are one week into 2019. How are you doing on your goals so far? Crushin' it? Killin' it? Showin' those goals who's boss?
In the words of Bing Crosby, I am "somewhere between 'ouch' and 'boing'." Looking at my resolutions chart filled with check marks for good days and x's for not-so-good days, it's far too easy to stare at the multiple x's and feel like a failure then call it quits.
Here is how I'm doing so far this year:
Here's a little encouragement for you:
Don't let the PERFECT be the enemy of the GOOD.
Give yourself some grace. There's nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself, but don't be so focused on your shortcomings that you can't give yourself a gold star for your little victories. Don't be so discouraged thinking you won't be able to reach your goal weight by Valentine's Day that you decide to just stop working out. Don't let the columns full of X's make you doubt your capabilities. You still have 51 weeks to rock 2019!
If you would like a resolutions chart, the one I used is from Gretchen Rubin's website. Here is the link: https://gretchenrubin.com/resources/
