I got stuck in a holiday rut, gave myself a green light to take a little “dieting” break, and then forgot to get back on the bandwagon in January. So now it’s March, I have fallen even farther off the healthy eating bandwagon and I feel bad, I feel really really bad. It’s amazing how a few extra pounds, pounds that I worked so hard to loose, can totally change your whole outlook on yourself.
But all is not forgotten. I just have to relearn the healthy habits, kick my own butt, suck it up, and keep going. And with that means that I am ready to start blogging again. This week I promised myself that I was going to make the hard choices, eat well, and get back to the gym. I feel like I am probably going to be going 2 for 3 with that one. Hard choices and healthy eating, check. Gym, not so much. With this everlasting cold and little to no sleep, I don’t want to pass out on the treadmill. Because as mortified as I am at being back at a weight I had thought I had left behind, falling off the treadmill in front of many other gym patrons would be much higher on the supreme mortification spectrum.
So this week I start with healthy food choices and next week I drag my rapidly out-of-shape body back to the gym. I’m going to try some new things too, like forcing myself out of bed at 5am to work out before work at least a few days a week. The Mama guilt has been getting the better of my recently and I just want to spend time with the munchkin after work. Putting him in the gym daycare, after I pick him up from his work day daycare just feels wrong and selfish. So if I can get a few morning workouts in, to offset the post-work workouts, I think I will be more successful. Now I just have to tie my arm to the bed so I don’t hit snooze and I will be golden!
Hope all is going well on the health front! Been meaning to check in with you! Hope all is well!
