As I was driving into work and received a text from a coworker that she wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t be in today, I realized that I could not remember the last time that I was sick. I’ve had some minor stomachaches (usually from something that I ate) and I’ve even had some headaches (that seemed hormone-induced). But, outside of those minor aches and pains, I haven’t been sick.
I usually always got the cold at least once each year. Sneezing, coughing, sore throat, and congestion. Sometimes led up to brochitis each winter. I have been lucky (*knock on wood*) to have never had the flu before. But, colds were always a thing.
For the last few months, I’ve felt stuck in my weight loss journey. I think it all started in September when I got injured after the Disney Half Marathon (which was followed by Conquer the Bridge and then a basketball tournament in Las Vegas). I was diagnosed with tendinosis (chronic tendinitis) in my right leg. An injury I got from a lack of proper and consistent training for my significant activities in September and general overuse.
This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to chat with my WeightWatchers® leader, Jocelyn. I shared with her that I’ve been feeling stuck lately. I have really been struggling to get beyond my 95lb milestone.
DAY 6. As we near the end of this Seven Days of Why Challenge, I have to say, it’s been a struggle to find reasons why. Many of the WHY’s I have shared are why’s that got me in the door and I, like some others have shared, am struggling to find the WHY that’s going to help me get to goal. Sometimes I wonder if I would be okay where I’m at. And then, I just know. I’m not.
