“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!”

Already day 17 of the challenge and wow have I learned a few things about myself.
- When it comes to drinking water I am no phenom.
- I now know why I haven't been happy with my scale.
- Exercise is a habit now.
So, about drinking water. Just in case you didn't know, when it is freezing outside drinking water is not easy. All my body wants is warm comforting coffee. It has been a struggle but I have overcome it. I know I am drinking enough because frankly I am always in the bathroom. After having three littles the old bladder is not what she used to be.
Some other lovely things I have been dealing with is sickness. Thank goodness with only myself and no one else has the crud. I have been all but couch/bed bound for nearly a week now. Thank the heavens it wasn't the hubs because if he so much as sniffles call 9-1-1 he must be dying!
Any who, my plateau, new start whatever is not working and frankly it blows a big fat one. I am going to meld minds with some of my trainer friends and see if maybe I have over looked something. Maybe I am over thinking it? All I can say that my dream of wearing a cute little modcloth dress to Christmas was gashed yet again. I am a bit grumpy due to my sick bug but I am just getting flustered.
No, I have not entered white flag country but those ever pervasive thoughts of accepting myself as I am keep coming up. Then what? I go on another fitness bend and the cycle starts all over again. I am being honest I don't like my body in its current state and I need to work harder to get the results I want. Also, it is too expensive (and against the lease arrangement) to change all the mirrors to shoulder up ones. Having always been big and never having a bikini season in my life. I just want to finally be in end stage. I know I will always have to exercise and will always have to eat right. Those things are standard. I just want my hard work to show some results.
Any encouragement would be great as I am running on empty. I am an eternal fount for others (I will be positive until you become positive!!!) but am scraping the bottom for myself. I know a lot is due to lack of in person support. All my studying has shown that lack of support system in key to being successful! I am lucky to have some but nothing like in the south. I am working on that but my sparkling personality can rub some the wrong way. I am also lazy at being the new kid. Poor me wah wah. So hopefully I can work on all these things and together we can get all the great results we envision!
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is some friends. All of my acquaintances are nice, but some real hang out and bum around the gym friends would be great! Maybe even the occasional families get together type. I don't want to be the creepy in corner person anymore!
Thanks Jules
This was not my best today, but I am hopped up a little on the Quil still. Feeling ucky does not bring out my good side. Plus being the season I should be honest right?
