Vacation was a fantastic way to reset and come back to work refreshed. But now I also feel like I am starting over with running and changing up my eating habits again. If you recall I skipped out on running and grocery shopping the week before vacation so I am now trying to get back on the wagon after two weeks off. It's damn hard.
I lost the momentum I had going during the month of April. I know I need to just get out there and do it. But I'll be honest, being sick is holding me back. Grocery shopping really has nothing to do with being sick other than I just really felt like doing absolutely nothing since I got home Saturday night. Running on the other hand I feel like it does have a lot to do with being sick. I'm hesitant to get out there when I feel like I wouldn't be able to carry enough tissues on my short little runs to handle my running nose. Being able to breath when running is a requirement and with a cold sometimes that's hard to do.
So this post is me committing to myself and to all of you that while it's slow going I will be back on the wagon soon. I haven't given up! Just give me a little bit to regroup and catch my breath.
Before I leave here today I have to share my surprising weigh in results.
SW: 207.7
Last Weigh In, Apr 23: 205.3
Today's Weigh In, May 7: 203.5
Loss: 1.8
Overall Loss: 4.2
Freak out with me for a second, okay? Who takes two weeks off from exercise and really caring about what to eat, including a week of vacation which included eating out quite a bit, and then sees a loss on the scale?! I'm rather shocked. And I hope it wasn't just a lucky fluctuation of the scale this morning and that I can maintain the loss next week. With hard work I know I can. Here comes that first 5 pounds lost!
And with that I'm out of here. I need to get over to the jewelry store to pick up my mom's mother's day present!
Wait, you LOST weight while you were on vacation?!? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!!!

ReplyDeletePretty impressed by your loss over vacation - let's get you healed up and back out there! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes taking a break helps the body. I know what you mean about being able to breathe, I havent done cardio in over a month. Allergies are in full force and I get three steps and want to die.
