I was trying to figure out how to stick to my meal plan while I was traveling for the break, and I finally decided that for one week I would not really focus on food. I decided to eat like most people do, not counting calories, or following clean eating guidelines. I needed to do this for myself to almost come back to reality in a sense that I could probably eat normal and maybe indulge a little, and the 42 lbs would not come back in one week. So, that is exactly what I did. I told myself the Monday that I got back, I would not weigh myself like usual, but that I would wait a week so that I would not be discouraged if I had gained anything. I wanted to keep up with the positive outlook that I still looked fine after a week. Without thinking on Monday morning, I hopped on the scale, and realized I had actually lost weight! That was really great for my self-image and a motivation for this journey overall.
Because of how busy I have been, and just simply lack of wanting to get out there, I hadn't consistently run in a while in the month of March. I got two runs in last week and I thought I had a better pace until my run tracker comes through my music and tells me my time. Not what I was hoping. Oh the joys of taking too much time off. However, today and the rest of next week, I want to really get back into improving my time and distance again. I'm more excited than discouraged, because I love working towards a goal.
Lately, I have needed some motivation and been wanting to change up some workouts. Tip: if you get bored with your workouts you will absolutely not want to do them at all.
I hope everyone has a great week!
