I think it’s week 8. It is right? Anyone have a calendar handy?
I missed last week. No one complained. As a result I shall ponder the fate of this feature.
Last Wednesday night I was preparing to go to a conference. Remember that 10 day mega diet I was on to try to drop massive weight before I left? Yeah, it didn’t really work out. I was super careful with food for 8 of the 10 days, but there was no exercise. Unless stressing and running around packing and doing laundry counts. Or running up and down the stairs from my bedroom to the full length mirror to see if my outfits were cute enough.
While away, I drank way too much coffee and soda and didn’t exactly eat well. I didn’t eat too much, but many of my choices weren’t so great. Luckily I didn’t gain too much weight while I was gone. I brought my workout stuff to the conference, but I couldn’t put my sneakers on because I decided to tattoo my foot. I didn’t plan it that way, but I’m not really complaining about it either.
Here are my stats as of the end of September.
- Miles walked/run this year: 73.59
- Miles walked/run in September: 16.56
- 18 of 30 days I cooked at home. Of the 12 I didn’t, 5 were when I was travelling. So not great, but not bad either, considering.
- I have no clue how many days I exercised. I think about 8-10.
- Weight lost since starting all this: 6.8 pounds.
- I totally bailed on my crunch and jumping jack challenges.
I relate to all of this. I too am “easing back in” to eating better after all the summer vacationing, then a few weeks of forgetting to eat well. Sigh. Rome in a day and all.
Same here. Easy does it. I love this feature. And Chinese food.
In addition to easing back into eating better and exercising, this week I eased myself into a bag of Cheetos so they wouldn’t get stale and become a waste of money.
I’m so with you. After a month of Jewish holidays, I can’t button my pants, and have general feeling of “ugh.” Part of me wants to just stop eating completely, and go out and run 10 miles a day, but then the saner part of me settles on something far less drastic. Sometimes staying healthy completely and totally sucks.
I need to get back on track before the holidays start for me since there are always more temptations, even if I don’t do big celebrations. It seems like I can always fit in the food. I want the fast results, even if I know it’s not a good idea. Slow and steady.
