I had a schedule or routine so embedded into my mind that I wouldn't stray from it. The operative word is had. I want to get back to it. It is not that I want to, but it is more like I have to. When I am working out consistently, that I feel better. When I am eating real food, I feel better. So why would I stray from something that is good for me? Temptation, convenience, lack of organization and stress. I loved being on vacation in Ohio. The weather was absolutely perfect for me to walk everyday. I loved being out in the mornings and evenings. Low, low, low humidity and decent temperatures made a way for me to easily go and walk. I also adored the rolling hills. Beautiful.
Fast forward to Houston. Yea, Houston. Humidity, temperatures in high 90's daily and no time. I made a way from January-June. I was consistent. I was religiously consistent with exercise and eating healthy. I have to get back to that time. I can't let traffic, long work hours, and stress get in the way. In fact, if I get back to it, I will have more energy, purpose and my body and brain will thank me. I did this, somewhat yesterday. I ate reasonably well. I had no process foods and I exercised at Planet Fitness. I came home from Planet Fitness feeling great! I exercised on the elliptical for 35 minutes and used two ab machines doing reps of 20, three times each. I did the same with the legs and some what for my upper body. I am sore today and it feels good.
I stood on my scale today. I needed a reality check. I have been avoiding the scales since I ate horribly at several times at Whataburger. I could eat at Whataburger but skip the fries and bread. I have done that before. So I am going to go lower card now. I want to get back. My clothes didn't lie to me, as some were fitting snug. The scale confirmed why. I didn't regain a 100 pounds but I have gained close to 5 back. I don't want to slide any further. Getting back to it, one step and good food choice at a time!
