This is a good day! I got my butt out to the gym this morning AND I have started my next 30 day challenge with no fast food that will include Pizza as well. I always feel awesome at work after working out in the morning. I want to sit down and think about why I would decide not to workout everyday if this is how I feel afterwards. I am more confident at work, more energetic, and just all around feeling better about myself no mater what is going on in my life.
So my weight… well it was just a little higher than I had hope but certainly better than where I thought I was. 213. That’s not a bad weight but it is 23 pounds over my target weight and needs an all out effort to get myself back there. Today was a good step in the right direction. I got down to my target weight the middle of August and now it is the middle of April. I picked up 23 pounds in 8 months. Looking at it like that I guess it's not too bad but it is still not a good thing. I have to find a way to maintain my weight. My first go at it failed and I need to really understand why so that when I get back down to 190 I can keep it there.
As I like to say… ONWARD!!!
So glad to hear you made it to the gym today. It's true you just feel better after working out even if it wears ya out. I don't think you will have any trouble getting that 23 lbs back off now that you are back to the gym. I think for you it's about figuring out the balance between food and making sure you keep your commitment to the gym 3 times a week.
ReplyDeleteAs for when you get down to 190 and how to stay there well for me it's that weekly weigh-in at TOPS. I know you're not interested in that but maybe you can do it here to be accountable. I remember you talking about your few lb window too so a commitment not to let yourself out of that window would probably do the trick. The word that comes to mind is CONSISTENCY!!!
