For some reason, I'm really struggling with balance. It's always been so hard for me to not sway from one extreme to the other. I feel like I've been so meticulous, couting every calorie, working out 6x week, that now I'm craving junk and just wanting to give up. I'm afraid of living in the middle b/c of my silly notion that moderation isn't good enough.
But when I was doing cardio this morning, I kept thinking that all I need to concentrate on is doing the "right thing". For me, that means enjoying some pizza on a Friday night, taking spinning classes & lifting weights, eating right but allowing the treats. I just want to live and not feel like I'm punishing myself, or trying to mold my body into something it's not. I'll never lose my hips, so I need to embrace them and be happy.
I'm going to concentrate on this and really try to slow down and enjoy the small things. I know that if I continue at my current rate, it will fizzle.
A billboard by the highway yesterday reminded me of how simple this all can be. It was directed for kids, and simply said "Eat Right, Be Active, Have Fun." So true!
