Awesome. So apparenlty I am incapable of staying on track for longer than a week. A new guy comes and goes, school stress hits, and BOOM, it’s a month later and i’m picking up the pieces of my life. It took me all week of relaxing and unwinding to finally come back to this blog and face it… because facing it means truth. Nobody wants to come on here and write that they have gained weight, that they aren’t on track, they they’ve been eating every meal on the go and not caring, not measuring, etc. Nope. During my stress load i dropped my life, i dropped my early morning walks, and my jogs, and anything else that was keeping me sane. I let my laundry build up and my house get messy. I let myself eat anything i wanted. Awesome. No, not so awesome.

Time to get back. I’ve been doing activity just for fun. No measuring, no goals, just fun movement. It’s been sunny the last couple of days, so it wasn’t so difficult to get outside and put aside other things. The next step is to get some goals written down, which will include diet, sleep, activity/exercise, and the tasks that i need to get done over the break…. and then, restart. Blank slate. I can do it.

Looking back:

Wednesday I climbed– it was a good day for climbing. I didn’t do that many routes, but i finished a route that i previously had not been able to do.

Thursday I went for a swim– just a short one, no planned workout, just some continuous freestyle, kicking, pulling, for 30 mins. I went for a short, easy bike ride 45 mins– i got out there and the sun was going down, so i came in. And then i decided to go to yoga… and that was grreat. It was a really good class, it flowed, it relaxed me, and i walked home standing tall.

Friday i went out for that bike ride that i really wanted on thursday- but didn’t really go anywhere because of the lack of sunlight– so i went out for about an hour and a half… and just got lost. It was great. But, unmeasured and really slow, so i somehow felt disappointed, like i didn’t really accomplish anything.

Saturday i got up to go for a job and the day looked beautiful, but i psyched myself out of it saying that i had gotten up too late and everyone and their dog will be out at this time and that tonight would be a better time. Hmmm… i don’t know. I went to a yoga class this afternoon. it was more difficult than thursday’s, which was good, i worked on strength. i didn’t feel too graceful, but it’s ok, i know there is lots of improve on.

The past few days have been fun. My life seems like such a roller-coaster. Is there a way to keep it more balanced? A little more steady?

Tonight i will write some goals. Tomorrow morning i will weigh in and start over with new goals.
