Christmas Challenge - Week 6
3.6 UP last Thursday...OUCH!
Ok, so that leaves me at .2 MORE ...yup 'more' then where I started this challenge at 6 weeks ago. What a bummer, huh?! Well, if you read last weeks journal entry then you know what i've been going through in recent weeks and that I was expecting a gain. It was actually pretty enlightning having everyone else make excuses for the scale and reassuring me that it would be off again soon, though. Hmmmmmm...I guess i've learned something. :) The good news is, i'm continuing to get better and will be done with all meds in just a few more days!
My clothes are fitting the same but i'll tell ya, I can REALLY notice the toll not exercising has taken on my body. Because I was so sick, not only didn't I do any constructive exercise for some time, but my daily routine (which is normaly quite active when i'm not sat at this pc) was disrupted for weeks as well. I've lost alot of muscle and i'm ummm well more wobbly, for lack of a better term, all over. This proves to me just how important staying active is....ecspecially when you've taken off alot of weight!
Being outside in this cold air for any length of time hasn't been making my lungs too happy, so it was great to finally do some running on my treadmill again today. Unfortunatley, after about 1 1/2 miles it broke...again. :( Oh well, we'll get it fixed....again. Until then I will find other things to keep me moving. I'm being tested, I just know it!
After not eating well for so long the hungry horrors invaded just when I expected them to and I was prepared for the battle. I've also been making lots of new things for dinner and keeping high-volume, low-point foods around. My journal is out and I start each morning by setting a goal to keep it. It's as if i've done this before!
Now I am well aware that if I want the results i'm looking for i'm really going to have to shake things up and work twice as hard for it. Am I willing to do that right now? Dam right I am! Sh*t happens (parden my Italian). You know what...it's going to continue to happen. After this it's going to be something else and after that ...something else. That's life! (Now, I try to explain to the powers that be that enough is enough but they just won't listen!) So, we go on. If we use all that happens to us as an excuse we'll never get to where we're going.
There are two choices really....you either surrender to the pressures of life and the struggles of this particular battle.....or you continue the fight...and do so with even more vengence and determination to reach your goals then you did before.
So, until next time... I choose the fight.....I know what it will get me.
