Having flight benefits (mahalo Cuzin Lara!) - being single - having no children - and being able to work remotely come in handy for me quite a bit.
And I'm feeling good.
I've lost 6 lbs - I've been sticking to my workout plan - I've been eating healthy.
I packed my food in my CARRY ON luggage. I even showed the salad dressing to the security guard for clearance.
I'M. HEALTHY.
BUT, I have to use a seat belt extender to make my seat belt fit. :(
AND, I have to put the armrest up to fit in my seat. :(
I'm healthy? :(
*sigh*
Well, I'm TRYING to be healthy.
Today I felt silly about it...like - 6 pounds was dumb to be proud of. Like - no one believes I'm eating healthy. Like - I'll NEVER fit in an airplane.
Luckily, the woman on my flight to Denver was kind. She tried to sell me jewelry - but she didn't mind having the arm rest up. We laughed and talked the entire flight. I even told her how frustrated I was with my healthy life changes and the airplane ride. She was super encouraging and we have plans to bond at the new Trader Joe's opening in Utah soon. :)
I don't like feeling self conscious or sad. I'm sure I could use those feelings to help drive my efforts. Yet, I don't think that would be the most effective path for me. I want to focus on the positive feelings I experience...things that make me happy.
What was my happy today then?
- New friends on flights
- Rocking my reports in between flights
- Eating my healthy snacks
- Walking around the airports and NOT dying
- STAYING on my meal plan
- Seeing my best friend
- Shopping for my meal plan
- Packing my yoga mat :)
It'll take time to fit into seat belts and airplanes. I have to remember that.
Until then - I'll keep trying and stay happy.
