I'm back on track after a year of half-slacking! It was a nice year. Summer was CRAZY, I worked out and ran and ate healthy and managed to stay in the best shape I ever wanted. But then I moved to another country and reviewed my priorities. I still did some yoga for like 10 minutes every morning, and ran sometimes. I even hit 5k! But I also started to eat more. It still was mostly healthy food, lean meat and veggies and a lot of soups, but sweets and cookies and pastry here were so new and I was so excited about new food! So step by step I started to eat sugars and processed foods almost everyday.
Winter was tough. It was cold and wet and I was missing all my friends and family like crazy and I had nothing to do except for studying 5 hours a day, so I just gave up and stopped restricting myself.
Then it was April and I joined local outdoor fitness group and started working out for an hour a week, gradually increasing the time. Now, after about 2 months of serious workout commitment (at least 3 hours a week) I can tell how much muscles I gained. It's great, isn't it? But the thing is - I haven't changed my eating habits till about a few days ago when I suddenly realized that I now weigh as much as I never did before in my life. So yup, depression time is over, time to get back in shape.
So, here're my commitments:
* eat fish (canned tuna doesn't count) at least once a week
* eat an adequate amount of calories (which is around 1700 per day for me now)
* do at least an hour of cardio workout per week (brisk walking for 30 minutes twice a day will do for now)
* journal my emotions instead of emotional eating
Since I already drink a lot of water that doesn't even require counting (its at least 3 liters per day) and eat vegetables, fruits, low fat dairy, whole grains, lean poultry and brown sugar/honey instead of white sugar, this plan will do for now.
Aaaand I have a package of cashews hidden on the upper shelf that I really want to eat, like, right now. Really-really want to eat those. But I know that if I start I won't stop till its all gone. So instead I'll go watch some video lectures and read a book. Patience and discipline!
