it's been a month that i've kept this blog in check and i'm just as surprised as you are. i'm more surprised that i've kept (for the most part) to my healthy eating/living business for this long.
here's a check point--be advised that this is the part of the blog you'll probably not be into and i won't feel bad if you aren't...it's pretty boring and it's all about me...but i've learned that success loves accountability...go figure. so enjoy the post or don't...it's all good.
In the last month…
- I’ve lost 6 lbs . that doesn’t seem like a lot, does it? Doesn’t feel like a lot either. However, at least the hash marks are moving in the right direction. I venture to guess that regular exercise 5 days a week has generated some muscle gain as well. But it’s also not like I’ve been 100% perfect on the eating right thing…especially this weekend when I ate a lot of wedding cake and drank a lot of champagne to celebrate one-year of marriage J I did my best to work It off (wink)
· I managed to stick with my training schedule…about 90% of the time. I always make up a day if I miss one here or there but I don’t cut myself a lot of slack either. Excuses are like fat cells: everyone has them. but those who make too many excuses typically end up having too many fat cells as well. I it’s not easy to talk yourself out of watching the 8th hour of Kardashian re-runs after work…but then I look at Bruce Jenner on that show…dude used to be the best in the biz…now I run more than he does on a weekly basis (remote control helicopters consume him now)
· I don’t hate running…as much. Now that my body is used to running (my lungs aren’t wheezing or collapsing, I have a healthy dose of calluses on my heels, toenails are growing back, muscles are getting stronger, bones don’t feel like shattering when hitting the pavement, etc.) my mind is starting to like running more also. I got up to almost 7miles on my run/walk plan this past Saturday…that business is sick.
Overall, I’d say this last month I’ve built a good foundation. I realize that to get to where I’m going, I have to understand that it’s going to take time if I want to do it the right way. If I want to sustain a healthy life for myself in order to sustain a healthy life for my family (someday) then I can’t cut corners now and have unrealistic expectations.
And no, I’m not in any of those skinny jeans yet…but I set the goal of getting into at least one pair by my 27th birthday (December 8th) Hope I find them cute once I’m in them…otherwise I would have wasted a lot of time trying to be healthy when I could have been eating papa john’s and drinking red bull while keeping up with bruce jenner and his jumpsuits...all of which i've been wanting to do for the past week
