I didn't get up and work out this morning at the boardwalk. I ate an ice cream sandwich yesterday which definitely put me into a tailspin of wanting to eat bad foods. I am amazed at how much eating sweets makes your body crave other bad stuff. Its SO not worth the hours of trying to resist other bad foods later!
I can feel myself beginning to fall off the wagon....giving up a little. Its about this time - the 4-5 week mark that I begin to slip.
I don't want to give up and since I recognize this now I have to really push hard and push through this. I read over on the Queen Bee's blog today that lethargy is a sign of not drinking enough. So today, that's my goal. To drink 4-5 water bottles and I'll definitely do it. Since I missed working out - I'm going to make that happen today somehow too!

Edited to add: I made it to the beach today and walked 4 miles with a friend (who can't run yet). It was hot here out at 11am so it would have been total torture to run anyway. I was sweating enough just walking! We laid out on the beach for a few hours, then went to a local place and I had a fish taco and an orange crush sitting in their outside bar. What a wonderful way to end the day! Pretty good eating day today and I got the exercise in too! I'm NOT GONNA fall off this wagon!

I hate hate hate that feeling of "i'm about to screw this up". It's a completely identifiable thing, we should totally coin a word or phrase for it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's the thing I need to work on the most. Because hey, we're all gonna screw up - life isn't life without ups and downs. But... it's the recovering from that - that's the key.
I feel a blog post coming on... thanks!
I totally know what you mean!! I have slipped into that place myself and it is hard to get back on that wagon. I know you can keep yourself out of it...focus!!
