Pick up the slack

I know I want to keep doing well, but I’m at that point where I’m on autopilot, I have given up trying quite as hard and am just coasting.  This is the part of the season that always causes me to quit.  The constant rain here makes it impossible to want to leave once I’m home.  I don’t drive, so if I go out, it is in the rain.  I cancelled all but one workout last week.  This week needs to be better.  I also need to stop eating out.

My mom visited the other week and re-introduced eating out, and it has just sort of continued.  It NEEDS to stop.

I gained 3 pds this week.

My goals for this upcoming week are:

1. Lose those 3 pds!

2. Make time to do some cooking and quit eating out/convenience foods

3. Make it to the gym or a class more than 1x.

C’mon, linds this is basic, you can do it.  Get back on track.  Get motivated!

What have you been up to lately?

In my attempts at being more active the rest of my life is getting harder to maintain. I want it all but doing that sometimes is challenging. I find some things just fall to the wayside. Such as blog entries and a clean apt. I am trying to let things not bother me, but I am still trying to do it all.

And if I can’t do it all, sometimes I just do nothing at all. Damn all or nothing mentality. Any tips on how to juggle it all? or how to be okay with not doing it all?

Skipped a workout in exchange for froyo!

Is it Friday yet??

Lately I have been really struggling to get to and enjoy work.  I blame it on having almost 3 weeks off around the holidays, something I’ve never had up until now.  I just had an extra day off on Friday and it wasn’t enough? I have a stat holiday and an extra day off coming up in February and it’s all I can think about?

I’m enjoying my job that I’m at right now, but I also feel like I probably am making a ton of mistakes.  I know I forget some steps with keeping logs and such.  I guess I know if there is ever any free time I can go back and update it.  The information is somewhere.  But for now, it is not a priority.  I am not good at juggling so much? But I also don’t prefer having a dumb ed down job either.  That being sad, I probably am never going to find the middle ground.

On the other hand, I can’t afford to not work or work either.  I recently went on a major spending spree and part of me wants to keep going.  It’s kind of like eating junk food.  You just crave it even more.

Anyways, I just got here, and it’s only Tuesday.

Getting there

This week was a not so great week. I had a lot going on and yet I still managed to lose!

Imagine how good it would have been if I hadn’t cancelled 3 of my workouts and if I didn’t go out to eat or eat that chocolate bar at the movies last night.

But hey that’s life right? And it’s still working so does that mean I’m getting this lifestyle change thing and not simply dieting (cause I’m so not dieting). Whoo.

Mondays

Aren’t so bad when you prepare. Made lunch and coffee ahead of time so there was more time to chop this up for breakfast and not just be rushed or lazy. Here’s to (hopefully) a good week of healthy eating and well being.

Sunday weigh in

I went ahead and re-committed to weight watchers online tools earlier this week. I know I’ve tried this route before and all, but this time it’s different. Time has passed and I’ve done it on my own in the mean time, and while doing that, I’ve already changed some habits. I stopped trying to cut out foods and instead focused on fitness and juggle a gym membership, a yoga pass and a swim pass and actually go! That is major for me.

I joined ww because I want to see progress in chart form and have an easier place to log. Sure there are free apps out there but noone makes it so easy. I’ve been around the same weight since initially losing the initial 18 pds. While I’m happy I didn’t gain over the holidays I’m happy to be going down again. Woot.
