Drive

Drive, defined in my own words is, "The ability to keep doing something that you know is right, even if you don't see immediate or drastic payoff."

Some weeks you win big in the weight loss department, other weeks just ok, and some, nothing. This week for me was just OK as far as the scale reported. A loss of 2 pounds. I am totally ok with that. I worked hard, and I kept to new lifestyle with no slip-ups. I feel great and am starting to become more comfortable in my own skin. 

I am winning. This time winning the physical battle, and I am also winning the mental one. The latter I know is harder than the first. I know someone who say (Yes Tasha, I am quoting you here), "Weight loss is not a physical challenge – it’s a mental one." Shes 100% correct. Can't argue with that logic.

One of these weeks I know I will step on the scales and it's going to show a loss of 0. It's coming, maybe really soon, I have no idea when that plateau is coming, but it is, and I will have to break through it. I am trying to prepare myself for it ahead of time, and keep telling myself that it won't be my fault. I'll still be doing everything right, but my body will resist, and all that really means, is I will have to change with it. 

For now, I'll ride this wave till it flat-lines.
