So I was thinking this morning about how I am just horrible at being dedicated to losing weight lately. Like eating whatever I want barely working out horrible and then I get on myself and feel even worse for being such a failure.

So I am going to try to take a different approach to “losing weight” in that - I’m not going to try. I am not going to focus on a number or a measurement, etc.

I am going to focus on how I feel and what I am able to get my body to do. I am training for a half marathon which is huge for me. I want to be dedicated to doing something I didn’t think I would ever be capable of doing - which is running 13 miles.

For me, trying to lose weight is sad and depressing and I am just not motivated to do it lately. I am not happy with my body but it just isn’t enough. I am excited at seeing how I can challenge my body to do things I never thought it could so that is what I am going to focus on - not the scale. As long as I am staying active (and eating a healthy diet) my body will change and start to look better anyway.
