There's Only Two Options...
...and that is either to do or not to do & I'm choosing to do!
There's so many excuses to have about why I haven't been exercising regularly. There's so many excuses as to why my weight is slowly creeping back on. There's so many excuses as to why I am less motivated than I was pre-Miami. There's so many excuses period, but I CHOSE NOT TO use them because "excuses are tools that build bridges that lead to nowhere & those who use them seldom succeed in anything." One of my favorite quotes. It's so very true!
I've learned that I am SO GOOD at talking myself out of working out. I have to cognitively do that. Which is why I'm not struggling as bad with that as I am with eating healthy. I am totally bombing in this area! I feel ridiculous for the way I've eaten the past 2 months. Just terrible! I've even started getting sodas at restaurants & I haven't drank soda in AT LEAST 6 months. What the heck is wrong with me? I'm eating fast food at least daily. It's just bad & I have to get it under control. I will just totally cut everything out like I have before, that's when I'm most successful. I need a menu, I know that's what I need. I do not do good with eating on the fly or unplanned meals. I seem to pick wrong foods w/out even thinking. When will I pick HEALTHY foods without thinking? It's so much easier to eat unhealthy, isn't it?
Appointment is made to go back to the nutritionist. I go Saturday afternoon. Hopefully he can help me get back on track because I'm slipping slowly but surely. Only good thing is, I'm recognizing it when its 3-5lbs and not when I've gained ALL 27lbs I've lost back. I can tell I'm gaining by the way my clothes are fitting and I have a good instinct about it...Almost as if I can feel it when it's happening...
My workouts lately have been good though. This week I did the treadmill for 30 minutes switching between sprinting and incline, ran around my apartments for 15 minutes and then did arms, glutes & back with weights. Then I played volleyball at a local volleyball gym/court for 2.5 hours on Tuesday. I'm STILL sore from that! I played with my cousin and 4 girls that had got full rides to college to play volleyball. I'm VERY rusty so it was a serious workout for me. Sweating like crazy & everything. I also ran some laps around the gym during our off the court time. After this blog I'm headed to the gym to do an hour on the elliptical and glutes & arms on weights.
I've been peeking at you girls blogs and you all are doing fabulous! Definitely motivating me!
Hopefully this personal trainer & nutritionist will help me meet goal...I'm only 25lbs away!!!
