Patience is not one of my strong suits! Anyone who knows me, knows this. I am not good at waiting for things especially weight loss! I want it to all magically disappear. But this is where I have to be realistic about it all and know that it isn't just going to disappear overnight. It is all about the baby steps and setting small goals. Yesterday was a very time consuming, but productive day. I was able to get the package of pork loins from Costco put into separate vacuum seal bags (something I usually forget to do and end up having 2 pork loins to cook at once), made some homemade soup (which was excellent), packaged fresh veggies into individual packages (which makes it easier to pack hubbies lunches in the morning), chopped a bunch of mini peppers for salad toppings (which was more time consuming than I had originally thought it would be), I made some eggs for hubby's breakfasts in the morning (great Pinterest idea that I incorporated "me" into), not to mention the household chores of laundry and dishes (which really are no fun to talk about, LOL). Even if it doesn't "look" like it was a lot, it was a huge accomplishment because they are all things that will help me with my weight loss goal. So this is a small baby step, but I am headed in the right direction!
We bought an elliptical the other day and it's been sitting in the garage in the box since because there was no way I was going to be able to help hubby get it up the stairs! That baby is HEAVY!! Brother in law was able to come by last night to help get it up the stairs and hubby started putting it together. He will finish that project tonight sometime (or perhaps I shall work on it during the day). I am so excited to start incorporating that into my daily routines!! This is another baby step in the right direction!
Baby steps are fairly easy to accomplish and they make you feel great in the end! (Not to mention because they are small goals you get to accomplish many of them, so you feel that the reward is even greater!)
Make baby steps your goal today and see how rewarded you feel! It works for those of us that aren't that patient, too!
