Starting NOweighVEMBER today, and I’m excited. I ready to get my life and health journey back on track, and I think this will be a great start for me. I’ve always been a little too concerned with the number on the scale, or the number of calories I consume, to the point that if the number feels too large for me, I get discourage and don’t try anymore. I know it’s not a healthy mindset, but I’ve felt stumped over what I should do to. Taking away the numbers and concentrating on habits and how I feel should be a good start though!
My goals for this month/challenge:
Stay away from the scale and calorie counts! That’s kind of a no brainer, considering it’s NoWEIGHvember, but it still is worth mentioning.
Track my eating habits. I bought a notebook a month or so ago to track my food intake without having to count calories. I haven’t really done much with it since, but that’s going to change this month. I’m going to use it not only for tracking, but also for reflecting and self-love. It’ll be an overall self-care journal.
Reflect every day. I mentioned this briefly above, but I want to spend a little time each day/evening reflecting on what I did right and what I could do better. I feel like doing this will help me identify harmful habits that can lead to negative mindsets, and hopefully it’ll help get me into a better routine to help myself.
Practice self-love. Each day I have to identify one thing I genuinely love about myself. It has been waning lately, and I’ve had days where I looked in the mirror and only saw ugly and worthlessness. It’s time to stop that. It’s time to love myself again.
I weighed myself this morning (I know, I’ve already weighed in for the month, but I forgot yesterday and I wanted to get a truer number this morning instead of weighing in last night. I’m currently at 204.1 lbs. That’s 20 lbs. higher than what I started the year with.
Here’s hoping this challenge will jump-start my mindset and help me end the year closer to where I started it!
