I was really wrong when I thought I could keep up with my exercise on the 6 week trip. I am not totally glad that they trip is about over, but a little.
I have been up and down on the scale, and I HATE scales, 2-3 pounds. Right now I am up 2 pounds from June 22nd when I started my trip. I will be good for a few days and so a bit of exercise but I am eating out a lot and end up visiting a lot of people and putting the work-put off. The problem is that I am putting it off for days at a time because I get caught up in the traveling and visiting. Don’t get me wrong I love seeing everyone, especially those I have not seen for years but it is taking a toll on my body.
I am one of those people that just can’t eat healthy and lose weight. I have a dramatically slow metabolism and even when I am eating my calorie goal I will gain weight without exercise. UGH!
I am getting frustrated with myself and I need to chill off myself I know. I can’t wait to get back to the exercise routine next week. Back home and back to normality on Tuesday, well after I unpack my house. Maybe I will unpack with weights on my arms and legs and to loud hair band music and dance my way out of the moving boxes!
Sunny, absolutely! The whole point of this blog is to help me learn and to hopefully motivate others. I have a lot of aggage when it comes to body image that I have carried for years. I would love to follow your progress as well. I will follow your log as well. Good luck and definitely keep me posted.
Tawana, I am going to start a weekly update on my progress on Saturday and would like to link to this post of yours because it has motivated me to get going and to be accountable. Not to show you in a negative light, but to show the effect one post might have on another. Is that OK with you? If you wish, you can go to my blog http://pwdtype2.blogspot.com, click on my profile and send me an email with your answer. In the near future I hope to have a contact me button on both my blogs.
Old habits die hard, I know I shoudl not obsess that is why I have gone for the education I have. It is twice as hard being out of my world for the past 6 weeks and I am anxious to get back on my schedule. You are totally right Sunny, I need to chill out. Thanks!
As someone who knows about exercise, you know that you shouldn't obsess about weight fluctuation. Weight once a week and record it then forget about it. The rest of the time eat right and exercise. I also found that recording my weight on the first of the month and keeping it in a spreadsheet helps me compare from month to month and from year. Right now I am up from last month, but still 3 pounds less that this time last year.
I know what you mean with eating healthy, I am one of them that if I don't do exercises my weight won't go down, good luck
