Rededication after diet/exercise hiatus
So, the past few weeks have been hard for me, motivation wise. Luckily, I have been maintaining my weight within 3 pounds of 189. I've been active having a daily walk to work of 2.5 miles (and many times back), but my running and weight lifting have been slowed to a halt. I know that for me, just walking isn't enough on its own. My eating hasn't been horrific, yet my calorie counting definitely went to the wayside and many nights I have eaten absolute junk. I don't feel horrible about myself, but I want to get my ducks in a row and lose my last 20-22 pounds this year so that I will have lost 100 pounds by the new year. I know that this behavior is normal after a fashion, but if I let it go completely, I see myself back where I started, and that isn't an option for me. So, I guess what I am saying is that I am going to celebrate my success at not gaining and reset my eating and exercise habits. This morning, I woke up and ran. That felt amazing, and to surprise, I hasn't lost a ton of my endurance or speed. I'm also planning my food for work ahead of time and measured out my breakfast, and lunch for work. I guess I just wanted to let everyone know where I'm at, and I'd love some tips if.you have any.
