Aloha, Kettlepeeps!
After my birthday, it was tempting to feel proud. I had been working hard for 6 months, and had a modicum of success.
I could fit clothes that I had bought when I moved to Hawaii and soon “grew” out of. I was meeting with my personal trainer and also working out on my own.
Surely, this was cause for celebration?
Unfortunately, I allowed myself a bit too much leeway. I eased up on my home workouts and stopped tracking what I ate. I started a couple of new ventures and spent less time blogging. And I started eating things I had previously avoided.
Here’s the results for this week:
I’m back to my weight and size as in August! Talk about a roller coaster!
Yes, I’m frustrated. Sigh.
But I’m not giving up! Here’s what a friend of mine wrote on facebook recently:
you know… i wish all clients were like you. you set realistic goals, you know that it’s usually a 2 steps forward, 1 step back kinda deal, and more than anything, you accept that and never give up. i’ve given up on myself and people in general when it comes to health and wellness… but your kettletell story gives me inspiration and hope. thanks angela! and happy thanksgiving..
I’m going to keep reminding myself that success is not always a straight course, and it may not look like what I expect!

I heard a great metaphor for this. A plane doesn’t fly in one straight line from Point A to Point B. A pilot makes minor adjustments all along the route, so that it looks more like a series of jagged lines:
So, while this may be a bit more turbulent than I expected, it’s all in the plan.
Thanks for continuing to follow me at kettletell. I am always happy to hear from you, so please leave me a reply below!
Wow! You are so awesome. I’m proud of you, and inspired by you to set a goal and accomplish it. Great job! Love the picture of the realistic doll, btw.
