Recently, I’ve been all aboard the diet struggle bus. I know there are lots of people on this ride but it’s hitting me hard. I’ve gained 4lbs in the past two weeks. My weight fluctuates a lot, up 2, down three, up one, down one. It can’t make up its mind but this is the first time it’s up and staying up. It’s gone up one pound, then two, then four.
So what is a girl to do? Focus on the negative? Not getting all my protein in, eating too many carbs, slacking on my exercise?
Yeah, I did all that.
But I also want to look at what I’m doing right. I’m being honest with myself. I weigh 215lbs today. That’s my highest in a month. 2 weeks ago, I almost broke that 210 barrier.
Today, I attempted my first intermittent fast. It went well, I didn’t die. I broke the fast at 12:02pm. But in my hunger, I ate something I shouldn’t eat…popcorn. That’s okay though! I went for a walk and got better choices in my Chipotle’s Kids meal. I ate all my salsa which is essentially veggies in my world. I also ate all my beans and I didn’t get a big bag of chips, I ate the tiny bag (10 whole chips!). I didn’t eat it quickly, I took my time, savored my meal. Sadly, I ate more popcorn after…
My goal was originally go to my favorite vinyl store after work. It closes at 6pm but instead, I’m going to hit up the gym. Remind myself that it’s okay to enjoy the run. Then I’ll go home and enjoy crafting a bit.
I prepared this morning. I brought 2 protein shakes and was going to have one to break my fast. I prepared for my nourishment but I didn’t prepare for the foods people would be bringing into work. Tomorrow I will be better prepared. Drink the shake before leaving my office even if it means going to lunch later.
We have a plan. Repeat: WE HAVE A PLAN.
Time to get with it!
On a more positive note: This is the difference in a year! We have an abundance of short people in our group of friends and I tend to be in the back of the photos. This time I wanted to be seen!
