DePause-It
So, after a week and a half of missing my weight training workouts… (Cry!!) I expected to be up 5 lbs, and having to kick back into gear. I went to a mini-convention at my alma mater, the weekend before Thanksgiving, then promptly got sick. I nipped the cold in the bud, in time for Thanksgiving… but my gym was closed for the holiday weekend. So one and a half week of… EEK! Off schedule. Eating-wise, as well, since I didn’t bring everything I needed, going out of town that weekend. And I didn’t feel like tracking things while sick, and then, of course… Thanksgiving cheats galore.
So expecting to be 5 lbs over is pretty safe. Actually, I was ready to face 5+ lbs when getting on the scale this morning.
But what did I see? 249! I was shocked to say the least. I just hope I didn’t trade in some muscle for fat. I guess I’ll find out next time I take measurements. What’s done is done, though. Time to get back on track and kick my butt into gear.
So, I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. I did.
I also had to face some personal faults of mine last night. Sometimes, throwing in the towel isn’t even enough. Sometimes you throw it in, and you have to burn it down to the ground. I think that’s what choice I’m left with. The act of being stubborn can be very helpful in the gym or in your sport, but when it comes to matters of the heart, stubborness does not work well, when everything else tells you it’s time to move on. Alright, then. I give up.
So. Time to re-focus on my health. This pause in my weightloss regime needs to be set into play mode again. And I’ve just about had it with my unrealistic goals. LOL I think I’ll just set goals that are a bit more beneficial to me, like eating clean 6 out of 7 days (or even 7 out of 7! Bonus~) and making sure I get in all my workouts, each week.
I am going to a four-day split, and back on with my cardio tonight at the class up at church. There’s a chance it might not be going on tonight, but I’m going to show up for it, just in case.
Wishing you all well, dear readers.
