Well, I'm back from an overnight stay in Albany to go to my boyfriend's grandfather's retirement party. The party went well and it was very nice to spend some time away and visit with his family. Unfortunately, I did not eat very well while I was there. In the past, a day of poor eating would spill over into the evening (I likely would have bought candy or cookies to go with the movie we bought on the way home) and, often, this would have meant poor nutritional choices for the next few days or even a week. This time, however, is different.
Why is this time different? Because I made a lifestyle change. None of this is a quick fix and a poor meal or couple of meals won't make me give up. When I got home from Albany (a little after 8 PM), my knee felt pretty good so I decided to do Fire 45, the workout I missed on Friday. I even followed up my workout with Shakeology to get my nutrition back on track. I had an amazing workout (my energy was great and the choreography was very fun), and I'm mentally back on track with my healthy lifestyle. I printed out my meal plan for next week, and I'm ready to keep moving forward. I am incredibly proud of myself for getting back on track the same day I "slipped." I'm also glad that I stayed away from the diet soda while I was there (thanks in part to my boyfriend who reminded me that diet soda really isn't good for me) even while I ate poorly.
I am very much looking forward to tomorrow's workout. I'm also going to deep clean the apartment since classes start Monday and free time to do extra cleaning will be non-existent until about Thanksgiving. You probably think I'm exaggerating but, if this year is anything like last year, I'm not!
Stay healthy!
