Overhauled…

Posted March 4, 2008
File under: Weight Loss

So every now and again, we take our cars in for a tune up, and have them overhauled.  Sometimes we do this regularly, we should.  But for SOME of us…we wait until something’s not working right and THEN we take them in. 

 Well, I fall into the second category.  And while my life isn’t an engine, and nor am I….same thing applies. 

And same thing applied to my weightloss.   I’ve been slipping here and there and just not being 100% diligent like I need to be right now.  And this wasn’t working for me or my weightloss. 

My weightloss “engine” started making some really funky noises, and had a hitch in it’s go motion.  So this weekend, I took it in, and had it overhauled.  I changed my diet, changed my exercise routine, and gave myself some new motivation to work out (in the form of a heartrate monitor…I’m a gadget girl…just call me go go gadget!  I LOVE that thing…I want to exercise all the time now just so I can “play” with it!).  I sat down and looked at what wasn’t working, why it wasn’t working…and I changed it.    

 And I’m running smoothly now.  No more funky noises…so it’s time to step on the gas pedal baby!  Here we go! 

I’ll probably have to have my engine overhauled again….but next time I’m going try and do it before the funky noises show up!!  LOL! 

Here’s to stepping on the gas and flying forward!!

    That’s what we have to do….overhaul the plan when it gets stale. Just so we NEVER give up! Things will get brighter and lighter… Love, Marge

    Nice work there you weight loss mechanic! Love how you addressed the problem, found a solution and made it happen! You know, too, what noises to look for next time it’s time for a routine tune up. Great job!!!

    Good for you, Chia… You noticed things weren’t working right and took charge of the situation. Thanks for reminding the rest of us this is what we need to do if our bodies aren’t working right.
    We all know what happens when the lights are left on once the motor is shut off.
