I can officially say that this is the longest I've ever been on a diet or exercise plan. And honestly id doesn't seem that long, and more importantly I will like I'm starting to get over a kind of hump and making the transition to long term lifestyle change. I don't have to force myself to workout in the morning as much as I had to 5 weeks ago, I don't eat anymore late at night, I maybe have one diet soda a day (as opposed to 3+), I don't eat as much red meat as before, I'm eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, I'm drinking so much water I have to pee 5 times a day! But the best part is that I don't feel deprived or like I'm sacrificing. For the most part I'm eating what I like, I'm just being sensible about it. I enjoy working out and I like all the positive feedback I'm getting. I have more energy and I don't need to take naps during the day, I don't feel "blah" like a I did all the time and when I did get a cold this past weekend, it only lasted a day and a half instead of the 3 or 4 it would've lasted in my pre P90 days.
So with 5 weeks down and 8 to go I feel like failure is not even a possibility. I'm not getting tripped up like I have in the past, I have very strong motivation (motivation that goes beyond just losing weight or getting healthy), I have a great support network that I didn't have before and most importantly I honestly say for the first time that I believe in myself, I believe I can do this. I may have told myself that in the past but I never truly believed it, until now.
At this point is not a question of "can I succeed?" I know I will, it's just a matter of doing my days - 35 down, 55 to go
