Where have I been lately? I've still been tracking everything, although I haven't been taking pictures of my food. Why? Because it's been a LOT of Taco Bell, crackers and candy and a couple days of pizza. I've just been really unfocused and in a funk the past few weeks. I have some family issues going on. We're trying to renovate my mom's bathroom and keep running into problems that kill our progress or leave us totally at a standstill. My job sent out a notice that we're likely going from furloughed to laid off.
I haven't felt the motivation to make healthy choices. And I've been using hiking as an excuse to eat total junk.
Oh, I hiked 6 miles, so it's okay to stuff myself with Taco Bell on the way home (not kidding, I ate there 5 out of 7 days). The result? I feel bloated, sluggish and my weight loss has totally stalled (currently up a pound or 2; I've been consuming way too much sodium and not enough water). I'm barely in a calorie deficit for July. My Diet Calender for the month has 11 red days and 11 green days. I'm aiming for only green days for the rest of the month!
Extra stress and uncertainties shouldn't be an excuse to just eat whatever and stop caring. I should be channeling my energy into things I CAN control, like my diet and fitness, instead of focusing on the stuff I CAN'T control. I haven't destroyed my progress, I just hit a little bump in the road. I need to remind myself that it's okay to have bad days and weeks as long as I keep tracking, weighing in and staying aware of where I'm at in my journey.
