Last night I had a wonderful date night with my boyfriend. We met up for dinner, where we raced to see who could finish the word find first (he won), then we played tick-tack-toe (I cheated and he still won), and just overall were immature and ridiculous and it was so much fun. After dinner we stopped at Walmart to buy the Avengers and spent the rest of our evening snuggled up watching a movie. We even had a "no phones" rule so it was a really very nice night. So much so that we've decided to make it a monthly occurrence. Yay for date night!
After the movie was over, I intended to write a post before I went to bed (the movie finished up around 11:30, which is way past my normal bedtime anyway). The post was to be titled "losing focus" and I was going to share my struggles the past two weeks with staying focused on my health and fitness. Every day the past two weeks I woke up thinking "ok, today I'm going to eat clean" and every night going to bed knowing that I was far from that goal. I even started having trouble waking up in the morning and missed a couple days of workouts (that I'll be able to make up this weekend and next to finish off the Pump/TF hybrid by next Saturday). It had been a bad couple of weeks and I felt as though I had lost my health and fitness "mojo."
Instead of writing that post (and let's be honest, at that time of night it probably would have been full of typos anyway) I read through some of my past posts, and stopped on my post reminding people that giving up is not the answer. As I read the post, I thought to myself "she's right!"and that I corrected myself..."I was right!" I can't give up. I may have had two unhealthy weeks (including drinking soda, eating candy, and all sorts of unhealthy things) but before that I had ten weeks of super healthy habits that made such a huge difference in my health. I can't go back to all those unhealthy habits. I'll just regain all 16 pounds (I probably already gained back a couple; I haven't checked) and then some! I was so close to getting under 200 pounds, which would have been a huge victory for my health.
So, I'm taking my own advice. I am NOT giving up!
Luckily, even though I missed a few workouts, I'll be able to catch up this weekend and finish off my final week of the Pump/TF hybrid strong. I will likely not be under 200 when I finish the program like I had hoped, but I do believe that I'll be able to lose anything that I gained the past two weeks and weigh-in the same or slightly lower than I did before these two weeks of silliness. If I can do that, it will be victory enough for me. And even if I am up a little from that last weigh-in, if I'm back to my healthy habits, who cares? Once those habits are back, I know the weight will start melting off again and I'll be under 200 before Thanksgiving for sure!
Well, it's time for me to change and get my workout done. I have plenty of homework to do today, too, so I really need to get moving. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I'll be sure to report back tomorrow to let you know that I was able to get my "eat clean mojo" back!
Stay healthy!
