June Jumpstart!: Mental Strength

Mental Strength

I seem to have varying levels of mental strength. It seems my mental strength really affects my diet and workouts!! Ha! I think that's why I focus a lot on what 'the voice' inside my head is saying! If I am strong mentally, then it seems I am strong in almost every other aspect of my life.

I have really needed the sugar challenge! It has really been good for me, in a mental strength kind of way. I don't know if that makes sense! I have already decided to make it my personal goal for next week. I just need to make sure that the 'off' days don't turn in to 'binge' days!

I hope you are all having a great week! I am. I may not be losing pounds, but I am gaining strength. Mental strength. I lost all my weight and now I have the challenge of keeping it off. I have to practice practice practice!!!

It makes perfect sense. Willpower is just one more muscle. It needs training just like everything else. :)
