Feeling a little frustrated with myself. I have been making awesome progress. I have been losing so much weight that Weight Watchers actually said that I am losing too fast and need to slow it down... (yeah right! I got lots to lose- no slowing!! lol)
So- where is the problem you ask?? I need to get back on track...
I usually run three - four days a week... but no matter what- at least three. My third day this week should have been Friday... I took it off. I did not run for a few reasons.
1) It is a 4 day weekend... so I did not want to get up super early- I wanted to sleep in...
2) We had a farewell the night before and ate more than I have in weeks... Not an insane amount by any means... but I was definitely feeling it the following morning!
I had the hope to get back up Saturday and back with the program... yet here it is Sunday and still havent put my third run in this week. I am planning on doing it tomorrow morning... I have an early morning appt- so I will fit it in prior.
Along with the lack of workouts in my days- my eating has not been grand. I am still tracking everything I am eating... which I think is a huge key. Thursday night was ok in my book... I knew I ate more than I should have but I figured it was alright cause it was the first meal I was not stressing about in 4 weeks. Friday I kept the craziness going by going to the bowling alley with the family for lunch. I had two slices of pizza, some fries and half a chicken strip... I still ate a fabulous dinner and was well within my points. Saturday was ok. Yet today... I actually had a frozen burrito! No- I am lying... 2 frozen burritos!! For real! Ugh. I feel gross people...
So- normally this is where I would just gradually revert back to old habits. I would not say I would quit- cause it wouldn't even be intentional. I would just almost forget what I needed to be doing and go to what I had always done.
Not this time... I will get it together... back to my workouts. Not only will my runs be back- but I am going to do the 30 day Shred... I will start on Tuesday... I know I had tried it before and barely made it through 15 minutes of it. I am going into this challenge with the knowledge that I will not feel great in the first week or so of the challenge- but after thirty days- I know I will feel a difference.
So- here is my plan...
1)Back to eating right- continue tracking-
2)Back to my water intake I was consuming at the beginning (roughly 130oz of water a day)
3)AT LEAST 3 runs a week
4)Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Challenge starting Tuesday June 21...
I will keep you up to date!!
PS- thank you for listening! I love my bloggy friends!!

Try not to beat yourself up! I don't know if you're like me, but sometimes I find that the words I use when talking to myself are words that I would never tolerate coming from someone else. You can do this!
You'll get back on the wagon, it sounds like you've set yourself up for success and that's all that matters. Pick up and move on!
Good luck with The Shred, I always try to incorporate that in my day but I have a hard time being consistent with it, and Jillian drives me bonkers!
