You would think that me increasing my endurance on the treadmill or increasing the amount I lifted would make me happy at the gym but no....it was the moment my lazy fat sweat pants were falling off my hips while I was running!!!
Yes, the annoying hike of the pants every now and then while running made my day! And even though the scale is moving, it's doing it at a pace that would normally make me give up at this time, but instead I'm celebrating!
My slow success I'm attributing to.....planning. When I know I have a day coming up that may be bad for my diet I know that I need to work out a little before in order to counteract anything I do.
For instance this weekend, I know I will be going out for drinks and in order to allow myself to do that I'm going to go do some extra cardio earlier in the day. One thing I'm not going to do is starve myself! Starving myself in order to counteract drinking is a counterproductive approach, and will actually slow my metabolism down even more.
Saturday morning(by morning I mean 3pm) I plan in going an putting in an hour of cardio in, and still continue to eat how I normally would. This way I keep my metabolism going all while counteracting my indulgences.
Well see how it works. One thing I learned from last week is definitely not to go overboard with the eating, I felt so sick Monday after Super Bowl that it was not worth it. I'll still eat right and just indulge in a few drinks, I'm not depriving myself of anything but I'm still doing better than the old me.
And hopefully I won't wake up Sunday regretting everything.....
