Epic. Fail.
That about sums up my weight loss regimen for about the last two weeks. Time to come here and confess that I’ve let the holiday frenzy get the better of me, and I am disappointed in myself. I’ve not made it into the gym for a full week now, and I haven’t tracked my food with any regularity since I left Colorado to come home to Minnesota. And, I have nibbled and gnawed at enough baked goodies to add a nice, sticky, sugary coating to my pile of fitness failures.
When I say this, it sounds like an excuse, and maybe it is… but I feel like I haven’t had time to sleep or think, let alone take care of myself. But somehow, I have had time to eat… on the run… which is a huge part of my problem. I do know that I do this to myself because I don’t take the time to plan balanced meals and exercise, and I find excuses not to make my health a priority. This slippery-slope of behavior must stop change for me now. Nothing scares me more than letting those old bad habits take over again. I’ve worked too hard to get where I am. I appreciate any help or motivation that anyone reading this is willing to provide. C’mon, virtually kick me in my backside a little!
Now a bright spot courtesy of my husband, TC: He gave me a super sweet gift this Christmas – my very own UFC boxing gloves training set and wrist wraps! Trainer Herm supervised a boxing workout for us just before I left for Colorado in November, and I LOVED it. Can’t wait to put these bad boys on and do a little punching and sweating – even if I barely know what I am doing. At least I can’t shoot my eye out!
Mama said knock you out!
There might be the motivation I need to get back on track! Â :-)
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and wishing you all a safe, happy and HEALTHY 2011!
