Look Both Ways

I have been trying to find fellow bloggers to follow. I have found a few that are really great. One of them is The Thin Within. Yesterday she said something in her blog that really hit home for me. She said, “that when you diet you really have to remember to look both ways. Don’t just look forward at how far you have to go but to also look back and think about how far you have come.” I got really comfortable at the progress I had made and realize that I have spent a lot of months looking back instead of looking forward. Instead of looking for new ideas and trying new things I kept looking at what I had done. I really think this is what has kept the scale in limbo. The scale stuck because I stuck. I have been eating the same things and doing the same workouts repeatedly. Today I am going to start focusing on looking forward. I am going to see what new foods I can find and what other act. I might like that I haven’t done in a while or maybe have never done. In my first post “The Cocoon” I said I wanted to find myself. I think trying new and diff. things will def. give me a better insight to finding out who I really am.

  1. That's some really good advice....about looking both ways! I sometimes forget how far I have came also...and always focus on how far I need to go. How negative.

    Natures Valley has some really good granola nut clusters...I got roasted almond and ate the whole bag in three days...oops. Not sure if your supposed to do that lol. Also they have these Creme Brulee Rice Snacks...really low in calorie like 10 calories or something. Really good!

  3. I will have to check out the snacks. I saw that on your blog but haven't checked it out. I was following one that is a mom of 3 with Cancer. It was just too depressing. Hope you have an awesome day!!
