Back at it again. I fell off for three weeks from working out after a month-long plateau. I tried everything. Hours of cardio and weight training, more protein, less calories. I finally became obsessed with getting over that number and it became unhealthy. So I stopped, took a step back, ate normally (which was still quite healthy, but I indulged in small doses if I wanted something that I shouldn't have.), and relaxed a little.
Then last week I decided this week would be the week to get back into it. I still have summer surfing goals, and I am GOING to get there. So I ate very well but didn't go to the gym, and I had lost 2.2 pounds before I even geared up to work out again. Then yesterday I hit the gym and restocked my kitchen.
I'm quite excited to get back into it. I've always love the gym, and the last three weeks have shown a serious dip in my depression, not only because I've been fighting with my roommate, but because I felt I was losing progress. So this week I'm staying with a friend, working out again, and getting back to what I want and where I want to be. No more worrying about everyone else. It's "me" time!
Anyway, yesterday was magnificent, and I feel great today. That time off was just what I needed to kick start my metabolism and get over that number (finally!). It's now 3 pounds behind me, and I'd like to keep it there, and keep putting distance between us. I'm past the 50 lbs lost mark, and I am really excited to reach for my summer goals.
I'm hoping and wishing that I can continue making such great progress. The goal is to learn to surf this summer, snowboard next winter, and I would really love to reach those goals. Shaun White, here I come! (I wish... Swoon) :P
More progress to come. I've come so far already, it's much too late to turn back now.
