Okay, so this is the deal. I never intended for there to be a near month-long gap in posting. The very day of my last entry, I was basically marooned at work. This derailed not only my posting plans, but my meal and exercise plans, and the remainder of the month has been full of unexpected changes on my plans.
The lesson for me has been to better plan my time, so that when hiccups occur, I can get back on track, because I’ll know exactly what I need to be getting back to. When I was able to return home, I didn’t want to do anything but bathe, put on my own clothes, and sleep in my bed, and of course when I did all that and woke up, I wanted to EAT! (Un)lucky for me, my closest pizza joint dared to deliver. Aside from the grub I was forced to eat at work, this put me way off what I should have eaten.
I never even made it into the gym until the next week, and I haven’t gone according to my proposed schedule because I’ve finally begun physical therapy, and my appointments are conflicting with it. My plan had initially been to go on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and to yoga on Sundays. My PT sessions are on Wednesdays and Fridays. Let me tell you: I’ve gone for a week and my legs are SCREAMING at me. Because of this, I feel like I can skip the gym on Wednesday and Friday. When I woke up on Thursday and Saturday, it felt like I got beat down in an MMA cage match, so I think stretching and resting is cool, right? LOL.
Despite my faltering, I’ve only missed my weight loss goal of 2 pounds per week by one pound. Yes, I’ve lost 7 pounds since my first entry of the year! Later on this week, I’ll share with you the tool that should rightfully be credited with helping me.
That’s it for now; I just wanted to let you know that I haven’t quit, and show you that making mistakes doesn’t give you a pass to just give up. I PROMISE an update in a few days.
