Funny how time flies and life gets busy… I can’t remember the last time I wrote a post! Well, here we go…
I’ve managed to maintain the weight loss over the past few months. Well, somewhat. I’ve gained a few pounds (I’m up to 121 lbs from 118 lbs), but they will disappear soon enough. I fell off the horse after school let out last week, but I’ve gotten back on this week. I’ve been eating healthier (remember, that’s the biggest part of losing and maintaining weight!) and gotten back to boxing. I took 2 weeks off boxing and had been going to the gym instead because of work. There was no way I was going to hang around an empty school until 6 pm to go to boxing. So, I was running on the threadmill and outside on Base, but not doing as much strength training. It’s good to switch it up every now and again!
So, that means only one cheat day per week. Yes, I was starting to do 2 and 3 times for a couple of weeks – NOT GOOD! The important thing is to recognize that you’ve gone off track and to just get back on without being too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes and no one’s perfect! I tried to avoid the negative self-talk, “You’re so fat!”, and seeing the numbers on the scale and the extra inch I put on my waist was motivation enough to step up my workouts and cut out the junk.
The important thing to remember is to not be too hard on yourself if you’ve stepped away from good eating habits and intense workouts. You’re only human and we’re not perfect!
