I have not blogged in a week. I have not worked out in a week. I really feel horrible. I have gained weight over the past month. I feel sluggish again. I just feel awful all the way around. You can always tell when I slack off, because I disappear. If I'm not exercising or eating better then I really have nothing to talk about on this blog. Plus, I don't want to have to come on here and say I've done nothing, so I avoid it like the plague.
Well, today I was sitting feeling sorry for myself and I just snapped out of it. It's not much, but I did some burpees before I came to work. I also packed my clothes, so I can go to the gym when I get off. I can't even pinpoint why I quit or drastically slacked off. I was feeling great, confidence was up, clothes were too big, compliments were flowing in, my energy level was sky high, my skin looked fantastic...why would you give all that up? I have no idea.
So, I'm going back to the philosophy of day by day. Each day I am just going to get up and force myself to do something. I know initially I will not feel like it at all. I will just have to make myself do. Eventually, I'll feel the way I felt a month ago. Until then I'll fake it until I make it lol! Tomorrow I'm planning to begin C25K again. I'm hoping I will still be able to begin where I left off, which was week 3, but we'll see.
I'm going to the grocery store in the morning to get healthy foods. I love the grocery store. I have no idea why, but I do. I was looking up foods with fiber and I ran across some info about McDonald's oatmeal.
I got this info from here
I realize I made the pic too large for the blog template I use, but I wanted to make sure you could read the info. Did this info shock anyone else? I have never had their oatmeal, but everyone I know has told me how good it is. So, I had always planned to try it. I think the sugar surprised me the most. I guess I'll be sticking to my steel-cut oatmeal.
One of my favorite pics from Win, Lose, or Blog...I think Catherine posted this one, but I'm not 100% sure. It is exactly what I need to read and remember right now.
Since it's almost Christmas I'm going to post Christmas songs. The workout songs will be back once Christmas is over. I LOVE this song! I look forward to hearing it every year. Yes, it's filled with cheesy awesomeness and I love it haha!
WOW on the sugar content, especially, in that McD's oatmeal! My hubby really likes that but the sugar content is whoa high! I'll have to let him know.
ReplyDeleteI disappear when I'm not doing so hot, too. We can do this though :) Welcome back!!
Okay, yes that shocked me. I have had it a few times thinking I was doing good. But I should have known when it tasted much better then my oatmeal at home....dang McD's!!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing mostly when I'm slacking.....we gotta keep it up though! You can do it girl. When you finish that 5K program we should meet at a race!
