Now I don't want to be too hard on myself because 1) I was sick for the last two weeks, 2) I still do a lot of exercise, and 3) I am still eating relatively well... but I feel like I've slowly bumped myself off the proverbial wagon.
This nudge into normalcy would be okay if I had already achieved my target, but I haven't. I hope to be able to cut back on the working out, and watch what I eat just a bit less (I know that one's a lifelong challenge) in the New Year, once I've reached 135 or less. However, until then I need to stay focused on weight loss and being in shape.
Since moving I have basically abandoned all muscle work. I will get back into the Lululemon and other free classes soon, to help tone and build muscle, but with the holidays coming and having been sick, I haven't in a while. I feel flabby and weak.
Because of money woes I haven't been able to keep up with my own eating needs (buying so many veggies and fish and meat, etc. to stock up), so every other week there are a few days where I am eating all my meals out, except breakfast. I can proudly say though that I am generally making wise lunch/dinner choices regardless.
I feel like my brain has turned down the volume on my weight loss efforts, but I still have a lot of work to do. Because the next step is working on the mental health part and my relationships with family and friends, I need to get this done.
Okay, enough whining, I am leaving for volleyball shortly. I took an intense walk at lunch. So I think I am managing to get my mind back in the right space, but the money troubles are seeping into all aspects of my life and holding me back. From now on, NO EXCUSES. I will succeed. I will persist no matter how many people seem to want to sabotage me, and listen to those with my best interests at heart. I will.
