The Best Day of Your Life!!

Still kicking…

Sorry for the lag in posting lately! I have had a sick kiddo and school started back up. Plus, I have been battling a little bit a depression over some recent weight gain. Today however, I got back on the scale and was back down to 213 from 217. I am hoping that is all that new muscle forming that is causing the weight gain.

 

I have started doing water aerobics twice a week and I love it!! Granted I am one of a handful of participants that still have pigment left in their hair, but it such an amazing low impact workout! Last Monday I tried a different class and while in the pool I didn’t feel like I was getting much of a workout, but after exiting the pool…..yeah! In addition to this I have been swimming with fins and water mitts for added resistance. Hopefully I will be ready for Warrior Dash in a few more weeks!

 

I have noticed a difference since I started working out more, I am constantly hungry!! This has been exceptionally scary for me because I am so afraid of gaining back all my lost weight. This fear doesn’t stop me from eating, if anything I literally feed my fear. I am working on a.) making better food choices and b.) increasing my protein consumption. I am learning, or relearning, that I must live with whatever food choices I make, good or bad. However, I cannot focus all my energy on a bad decision. I have to learn from that mistake (repetition is key??) and take steps to not let that happen again. For example, I love pop tarts, correction I love brown sugar and maple pop tarts. I know that if I buy a box, I am going to eat 75% of them given the opportunity. Do you know how to not have the opportunity? DON’T BUY THE DAMN THINGS!! Like I said, repetition is key sometimes!!

 

Hopefully tonight I can get some decent sleep and tomorrow write an amazing post about something. Let me know what you’d like to hear about!! I need some suggestions to help stay motivated!!!
