Good morning everyone, I am charging my fit bit now. I took it off just over a month ago and simply never put it back on but today I will.
Yesterday I counted calories and incorporated a green smoothie into my day. I shoved a few extra fork-fulls of spaghetti in my face before bed which was bad, but there is an adjustment period when getting back into the groove of calorie counting so I'm going to let that one slide. Money is tight and food options are tighter but I'm going to count my calories today and give it the best I've got.
Woke up feeling a little down this morning. Keep thinking things along the lines of "you'll never be able to get back on track now that it's the holidays" etc. That is a really stupid thing to think seeing as how thanksgiving, Christmas and Halloween are literally only three days in the next three months. I can afford three 'free' days, but I suppose the issue is always the baking and food prep leading up to those celebrations. I guess I have to look at is this way, this is my third year on this journey. My first year I survived the holidays, so I know it is possible. Just need to commit and stop letting the stress get me. One damn day at a time.
I didn't go to the gym this morning, because I'm a weenie. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night and I wanted to go back to bed after I fed the kitten. I ended up sleeping on the couch with her until ten, which is exceptionally late for me. I will commit to going to the gym tomorrow morning, early. Today I'm going to start preparing for an exam I have next week, its on the endocrine system which is quite complex.
Right now my weigh in goal will be every two weeks (or twice a month) so I will recheck my weight around Halloween. I always find myself getting discouraged when the scale plateaus, by doing it this way I hope I can focus more on the bigger picture. A wonderful buddy of mine, Ladybea, only weighed in when she went to the doctors office and she has done an amazing job focusing on each day rather than results.
My focus will be on reducing my risks for Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer (by including more fresh produce), and many many other ailments that are caused by sedentary lifestyles and poor diet. I need to keep these motivations fresh in my mind, damnit.
Have a great day, buddies.
