Don't Call It A Comeback!
Yea, Yea, Yea...I know I said I was back for good almost 2 months ago but life always seems to get in the way of your plans right?! I've fallen victim to one of my most motivational quotes "Failing to plan, is planning to fail."
For the last 2 months I've said "wow, I'm really feeling like I'm gaining weight" well I never stepped on a scale so I could hide from the true reality. THEN my pants started to fit tight...then tightER. Now to the point I can't breathe. Well, I gave all of my "fat clothes" away because I read that if you get rid of them you can't just slip them back on and ignore your weight gain. Well, now I'm stuck with size 12's that are TIGHT as hell!
Last week I finally decided enough was enough. Enough with the excuses, enough with letting other things get in the way of exercise and enough with falling victim to fastfood because of laziness and time commitments. So I went to the gym. I stepped on the scale and almost left in tears...I have gained 10lbs since my lowest weight in March. It is so disheartening. BUT I will not let that discourage me.
So last week I started "Operation G.M.A.I.G" which includes but not limited to:
- Exercising 3 times a week. Even though I have class 2 days a week and I still work an hour ONE WAY from home. I just have to plan my time better and actually stick to it.
- No sodas!!
- 60oz of water a day
- 5 fruits and veggies a day
- very limited amounts of sugar/sweets
- Meal planning!!
- Wiggle room
I know that is typical weight loss ambitions but it has worked for me in the past and it will again. We all have road blocks, we all have times we fall victim to time restraints and busy work weeks, hell even laziness. I'm not going to deny that half of my problem is I've been lazy. But if you took 15 hours of college classes, commute an hour ONE way to work twice a week and work for a sorority (it's all work and little play right now) you'd be a little tired and want to be lazy. I'm a very driven person so I know i CAN do it, I just got to buckle down.
So October 6th started "Operation G.M.A.I.G"
G.M.A.I.G= Get.My.Ass.In.Gear
And to get my ass in gear I've FINALLY bought new running shoes that actually fit and I'm able to run in without problems! And they were on clearance for $30 bucks! So much for needing high priced running shoes. I've also dug up my work out clothes and updated my iPOD. I've bought all healthy foods again and will not be eating out. I'm debating going back to weight watchers at the moment. IDK, we'll see. I'm feel like I'm making great strides.
And WOW have things changed around here!!! I like, I like! Makes me want to come around more often for sure! Lol.
