Since yesterday I have been trying to figure out how to snap out of this short lived funk and get back into my momentum that I had going so well. This morning as I was snuggled up with Rylee going over some things I had learned over the weekend in Chicago, I remembered something that Kim Lyons said. She talked to us about mental visualization. Taking a step back and sitting there with your eyes closed visualizing your goals. How do you feel at your goal weight, was does that look like, what do you need to do to get there ect. Look at a picture of either yourself at that weight, or if you don't have one a picture similar to what you would like to be (not an unrealistic one).
So this morning I laid there and remembered how I felt when I was at my goal weight, how my clothes fit, what they felt like touching my skin, putting on make up because I cared more about my appearance, being able to shop in regular size clothing, what my workouts felt like. Then I looked at my picture of me at goal and visualized how it would feel to be back there again and what I would have to do to get there.
The past few days I have been pretty negative because it seemed like one thing after another was going wrong and it was wearing me down and burning me out. For the past few months I have had very good, positive, headspace and I have been wanting to do a gratitude post. I have been feeling extremely blessed and grateful lately so I am going to start putting that together for you in the next few days.
I was going to do a post about Chicago since I learned SO much there, but I think I will integrate it into posts like I have today instead of doing one big post about it. That way I can leave the negatives out of it and behind me and move forward with the awesomeness that I got from the training.
I'll leave you with the picture of myself that I used for my visualization this morning:
