I threw out my back after hauling an armoire from the 2nd floor to the basement with my husband. I was so revved up to work out all week long and then spent the last 4 days stretching instead.
The other thing that busts my chops is that I've been juicing 2x a day for a week and a half. WTH?
And, the other thing that busts my chops is that 139.6 lbs, a year ago, would have been cause for celebration. Now I have one nice soft roll when I sit down and two thighs that give each other a high five when they pass by. I'm 5 to 7 lbs off my mark and it's crazy how much of a difference it makes
Last Friday I guess I forgot to type in my weight, but I know it was 137.4 lbs.
One thing we talked about at group counseling the other night was about "Maintenance." When I got to that circle on the chart I wrote in my notes the first things that came to mind.
They were:
- How do I find sustainability?
- How do I keep it "fresh," say, like a marriage needs to be kept fresh to stay alive?
Translation: As far as "Maintenance" goes, sometimes I have to tweak my behavior just one degree to make a lasting change. Stop looking at the Big Picture and just make one small change, each day, one day or step at a time because it does make a difference in the long run.
And one of those steps is I'm going to start weighing in again every morning (have only been doing Fridays) and am keeping a food journal. These two small steps seem to help me focus a little.
Also, I'm starting my marathon walking schedule next week so if I can't cut those pounds off walking 450+ training miles in 5 months, then I guess they're meant to stay. (But they're not...)
