This is the second week in a row where I didn’t make the kind of decisions necessary to be moving ahead on my journey from fat to fit. Last week I was able to somehow get away with it and still come up with a pound loss. This week I was even worse and feel lucky to have only gained a pound.
Things I did well this week:
- I truly did nothing well this week other than not going off the deep-end and eating everything in sight. My son and I rang bells for the Salvation Army for a couple of hours yesterday morning in the frigid cold so at least I can feel good about that.
Things I did not so well this week:
- I didn’t do any strength training.
- I didn’t do any cardio.
- I ate fast food twice, and both times I ate more than I should have.
- I polished off the rest of the Christmas cookies.
This week is a really important week for me. First, I have no shot of hitting my weight loss goal for the month unless I put up a big loss number this week. Second, next week is going to be full of holiday dinners and many temptations that frankly I don’t think I am yet prepared to deal with. If I can go into that week with some real positive momentum I might stand a chance. Another thing in my favor is that I am off of work for the rest of the month starting this Friday, so it will be much easier to get my workouts in. I really need to focus on the exercise for the next two weeks.
My journey is going to have it’s ups and downs. It’s important to keep weeks like this to a minimum, and to learn from them when they do appear. Writing about them helps; I am confident I won’t let myself down this week in terms of my decisions.
The results will hopefully follow.
