Ugh

had a very bad week last week, on top of being sick I slipped and ate whatever I wanted at my sons birthday party, it was delicious but something I regret. Cause I know I've probably gained a couple pounds....
I am not feeling 100% but still enough to start back again. Yesterday went to the gym, wasn't my best workout but it was something.

To me it seems I've had more setbacks than accomplishments lately, need to figure out why and see what I need to do to fix it.

Like I said, I knew this wasn't a quick fix, or even a quick weight loss. It took me years to get to where I was, it's going to take time to fully get rid of that and become a new. More speed bumps, not road blocks...

Sickly and crabby

I think I'm dying! Or that's what I thought the past few days.

I've been sick with what, to me, felt like the plague. It wasn't don't worry, but in my head it was. What was sacrificed though was me working out, I didn't(because I thought I was dying!).

I'm still not to where I think I'll not pass out or get to dizzy to work out so I'm taking tomorrow off to and will try to start back again Thursday....we shall see.

But for the meantime I also haven't eaten well....

This may not be that week for me, I'm hoping to rest today and bounce back for tomorrow....zzzz

National Nutrition month...blah

Nobody wants to eat healthy, but we all should. Our bodies are like a machine, with the right fuel we'll thrive and feel great, but with all bad foods or fuel, we become sluggish.

Notice when you eat something, how you feel an hour after or even the next day after.

Ever heard of true "food coma"? We've all been in that state at one point or another, remember last thanksgiving??? Or for me, Super Bowl Sunday....ugh!

Instead of eating to eat, we need to eat to live. Cliche as it is, it's true.

We always feel better after a meal of lean proteins and vegetables rather than that greasy cheeseburger. That feeling is our body telling us..."um.....what the hell!"

Doesn't mean we have to eat fantastic all the time, a little indulgence is fine, but watch how you feel after....notice anything???

Rest....relax....work!

Rest, we all need it. This past week I took some much needed rest. I have 2 days off, one day on, then two days off again...I started back into it renewed and feeling refreshed. It was great! I was getting burnt out, I know, but after this mini-break I feel like I've stared anew.

Maybe that's what we need every once in a while....a little break to get us back in. Worked for me :-)

Class complete

I have to admit all day I was nervous about this new class, but once I got there I found out I wasn't the only one nervous....the whole class was!

After I talked to a couple people I saw we were all in the same boat, and once we got started found several at my fitness level! Made me feel so great!!!

Not only did it give me great motivation, it's screwing up my routine, which is exactly what I needed.

Scared to death as I was, this class was the best idea!

first day nerves

Tomorrow starts my new class at my gym tomorrow. Even though I'm desperate to change up my routine, I'm terrified to start this class!

I know it must me newbie nervousness but all these things keep running through my head; will I be the most out of shape one there, will I be able to keep up, what am I doing, am I crazy.....

We'll see how it goes, I know I always do this before starting something new so its just nerves. Will be worth it, will be worth it!

This couldn't come at a better time though, I've been so good staying away from soda for the past two months, but lastnight at the movies with my family I did take a couple sips....GOOD GRIEF it tasted different. Waaaay too sweet and just didn't taste the same. I couldn't believe I had drank one after the other after the other because now I couldn't even stand one!

Weird how things change....

Rut/plateau...who cares it blows

A new start out of, not only a rut but a plateau isn't easy....but nothing about this will be.

It has really taken me a good week to get back into the swing of things, and my last weigh in I could tell....1lbs in two weeks! Not acceptable in my book but I know exactly why.

I hit a plateau and rut at the same time. I had to find my motivation again, change, not only what I was doing for exercise but also my diet.

I have decided to log everything now, to make myself accountable and see where I need to improve.

Getting closer to my new fitness class now I'm starting to get nervous, but it'll be good for me...change is good!
