And this week the scale shows...
Gained another pound. Seriously body? I was healthy this weekend. I did have panera on Tuesday, but that was within my calories. I've worked out everyday. But you know what? I am exhausted and sore and stressed. I feel like I am running on empty and need like 24 hours on that couch.
Why am I stressed ? Its actually not primarily work. Its life! I have some upcoming events (birthday and a wedding) so I want to work extra hard to look great. I'm pushing myself in the gym and really not giving myself leeway to cheat. Stress #2 is how am I going to navigate these alcohol and food heavy events?!?
I dont want to wreck my progress. I know how easy it is to get caught up in celebrations and forget my goals. What do fit people do on their birthday anyway? I have always done some type of dinner followed by heavy drinking. And its not like I dont want to drink. Trust me, I love a good beer or cocktail just like any other 27 year old, but I want to lose the weight more. And I know by drink 3, its like what goals?? Then the wedding. How often does one of your good friends get married? I want to enjoy the day and the people I'm traveled to see!
So in short, I've stressed myself out. And I just realized that a part of life, is living it. I want to enjoy these events so I'm going to do just that. Ill keep the days before and after according to plan and exercise on event day. Both of which are Saturdays. So I'll be planning to run in the morning. And that is that. The rest of September is major event free so I can hit it hard.
