So, I gained back that 5 pounds and then have just sort of stayed here for two weeks. I'm not too sure why but I haven't had that same 'eye of the tiger' go get 'em attitude about working out and watching everything I eat. I haven't been gorging or falling off the wagon, just haven't been in what I call 'weight loss mode'. It's a different mode than just everyday living. It's intense and takes a lot of attention. So I haven't been giving it it's due. I've just been existing. Which has been nice, I must say. I think I needed a break from the intensity.
But now I looked in the mirror and can see my butt is bigger! That's not ok! So I am ready to resume and see this project to the conclusion. I read a quote from Valerie Bertinelli that said she's giving herself a 5 pound window but there's a 'stake in the ground at 132 lbs.' I like that idea. It seems like there's security in having a number where the alarms go off and you can say "Stop! No farther!" and get all Berlin Wall with it. Otherwise, it's too easy to fall back and start to slip slidin' and next thing you know you are wearing elastic pants! It's kinda funny because now all I wear is elastic waisted things because I keep shrinking out of my clothes so the elastic helps them last longer.
Yup, I'm getting back to it. I can prove it by the fact that even though I slept rotten last night and am backachy today I got on the bike for 40 minutes and did some abs too. After that I made sure to stretch and shower and I feel much better now. I'd have to say I feel almost human! I think that's a pattern. If I feel sluggish or blah I just always feel better after yanking myself up and getting moving. I dare you to give it a try next time yo have the blahs.
Look out Tomorrow! I have you in my sights: there are calories to burn, large dogs to walk, a heavy bag to be punched, V-8 to be drunk and my ass to be kicked. IT'S ON.
