Don't Quit

Hi girls,

Yes, I am alive. Life has been kinda rocky since M lost his job. I am super stressed and afraid of being short on money. I have so much stuff to do both at work and my personal projects. (the love life is absolutely incredible, tho). My "plan" is going so-so. I have trouble controlling my food intake, but that’s not news, right? I am eating mostly after 4-5PM every day with some exceptions, depending on how I feel. Most of the stuff I eat is super healthy and all that.

But I am not losing.

I am still stuck at 123 after another week. I am a bit down and I must admit that I miss my old routine a.k.a being alone during dinner time and watching movies really late when M gets home, doing my yoga almost every day, etc. Now I feel like I cannot exercise as much since M is home. It’s incredibly boring for him. And for some reason I am shy to do it while he’s on his laptop. I must past over this silly mind trap. I mean, really.

I don’t know about my goal date. Days are flying by and I am stuck here. Losing 6-7 pounds in 21 days seems like a lot for me right now. But, I am not giving up.

At work we have this cupboard full of coffee cups. All sizes and shapes. Most of them are really old and faded. I have this habit of always using the same one. Originally I picked it because of it’s nice colors. Lilac and peach and indigo. It depicts a big villa nested in a mountain with cypress and pines trees. At the bottom there’s spring running, white and clear. In the background; a gorgeous sunset. It’s very pretty. And on the side there’s this saying:

Don’t Quit

When your luck is down
And your world goes wrong,
When life’s all uphill
And the road is long –
Keep your spirits high
For through thick and thin
You must carry on
If you are to win.
Never mind if things
Slow you down a bit;
You’ll come out on top –
But you mustn’t quit.

And that’s exactly what I will do.
