Ask anyone who has lost weight...it's not a walk in the park. It's hard, especially after so much success, to keep the same path. To keep the same clean eating and exercising regime. Hard? Yes. Impossible? Hell no. I'm back at school and after a short period of eating tons of unhealthy food, I'm back into my routine. And I love it. Egg white omelettes for breakfast, weight loss & nutrition shake for lunch, and salad for dinner sprinkled in with some healthy snacks. No eating after 7pm. Moderation.
I went to the gym tonight for the first time since I've been back. I warmed up with ten minutes on the stair stepper, did squats, leg extensions, leg curls, calf raises, abs, and hula hooped for ten minutes. It felt good:)
I AM nervous, however, for weigh in tomorrow. I was supposed to lose ten pounds to come back to school and I know I did the opposite. I think I got a little cocky, to be honest. I was feeling skinny and invincible, thought I could eat and drink anything. One thing led to another, and healthy eating was soon forgotten along with my goals. I'm painfully aware of those extra pounds around my midsection and thighs and I will stop at nothing to get back down to size.
I think I'm going to try something new: whenever I get a craving or I am tempted to eat unhealthy or skip my workout, I'm going to blog. My thoughts, my feelings posted for the world to see. And reading that back to myself will hopefully deter me from making decisions I will quickly regret. It's also nice that I will be busy, hopefully too busy to eat out of boredom.
I found a YouTube channel because I'm venturing into meditation, and I found one for weight loss. Mantras are the key to success, in short, and all I have to do is remember,
"Eat With Self Respect"
