When I was a small child, my mother gave me the book "The Little Engine That Could". Up the steep hill, the Little Engine would chant "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can". Simple, yet profound words to live by.
That being said, I didn't get to the gym AT ALL since I got laid off. It just threw my routine into a bit of a tailspin, however things are stabilizing a bit now. I have temporary work and tonight I got back to the gym. I set the treadmill for a 5K (I've never tried that before), but I got there too late and I only made 2.25 miles (Just over one to go). I will get there at some point soon.
My weight update is gonna be short, I will try to put up measurements soon. I am realistic about my expectations. I think this is actually to key to LIFE. Write that down.
Weight: 319.2.
WHAT?? Do you see that? I didn't lose but I also DIDN'T gain, and this is good for me! I wasn't working out, not really even watching what I was eating super closely, but I've made some changes in my lifestyle. I live on soy milk (vanilla and chocolate!) , I've switched butter for spreads made of olive oil, and I've tried to limit fast food as much as possible. Sometimes this is just not possible with my life, but I've been making better choices. Salads with grilled chicken, or a grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo. Once I start getting back to working out, the weight should start coming off. I expect a better showing next week.
Hanging in here...*K8E*
