Fitness Challenge Week 41 and 42

Standard

I bet you all thought I was going to never post anything again….that I had given up. Ha!! Gotcha!! No I haven’t given up. I have just been so busy the last few week and I let everything sort of slide. The only thing I did not let slide was my exercising. But I guess once you get in a habit of getting up every morning it becomes easier. Do I say I enjoy getting up before everyone else and exercising and then go into the rest of my day? sometimes I do…sometimes I don’t. I think it really depends on how I feel when I go to bed the night before.

Now onto the interesting stuff…the last couple of weeks I have not been eating as good as I should. So it’s kind of interesting I have not gained all that much back. I know you are probably saying well you did though…and you’d be right. But it really proves that if you continue to exercise…you can keep your weight under some control. Of course I can honestly tell you I did not go whole hog and pig out on everything I saw. I just ate more of what I had planned for on our menu. Instead of eating example a 1/2 a cup of rice I ate more along the lines of 1 1/2 cups of rice or instead of getting up from the table when I finished I sat and just had “a little more”. I am learning these things as I am improving my health and well being. I know you are thinking…well duh I knew that…but the thing is I don’t think any of us really know until we are there trying to manage what we are doing. Then we actually find out how far off we really are. I think by doing this, even though I am not there yet, I am not only learning how to eat but I am learning also about how much I have hurt myself over the years by what I ate as well as the lack of exercise. It really can be an eye opener at times.

Fit Challenge Week 16

Standard

Well after the high I was on last week came crashing down, I sort of overindulged. I realize that even though I hit my goal unless I stick to it, it will come back very quick. As I had said in previous posts this weekend was my anniversary and hubby took me out to dinner. I didn’t eat badly, I just over ate. Then on Sunday we went out on a 5 mile hike which was great. We all had a blast!! But when we had lunch I went back to my old habits. So needless to say, I did not do well over the weekend. But you know what, it happens. You cannot change overnight. You will have slip ups and not achieve what you want sometimes. You can make all the excuses, but what you do after that is what makes you successful. You have to pick up the pieces and go again.
