I am all over the map (again!).
My eating habits lost control yesterday with a large order of sushi and prawn tempura. I ate 55 points worth of Japanese food last night - which I am regretting because today I peeked at the scale and it told me I weigh 182 lbs - yikes!
Even today, I over ate with dinner - I had a huge bowl of turkey chili (loaded with beans) and this moring (having to wake up at 4:45am!) I had WAY too much coffee... I am losing my balance...
So I went to yoga to refocus and find my balance in this whole process again - which, as I prediced helped me a great deal. I am however, really missing my cardio workouts. I havent been to the gym since last Sunday and am feeling like I really need to get my sweat on!
Heres to hoping that Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the gym will break the scale into the 170s... cross your fingers for me...
I have a question for anyone who is reading - what is key to you keeping balance in your life - what does your weight loss balancing act look like.
My key to finding balance in my life was realizing that I wouldn't ever find balance if my goal was always going to be "weight loss." I needed to make my goal "healthy living" and from that understand that weight loss would be an inevitable side effect. I concentrated on improving my overall fitness, on improving the quality of foods I ate, on understanding nutrition, and learning how my body worked. From their, I can work to understand how to live a life that my body appreciates and is healthy.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I'm struggling with this today - I'm not an all or nothing type of person, but lately I've been feeling like I need to give it, hard, in all areas or I won't see success. That road leads straight to burnout!
ReplyDeleteI haven't found my balance yet. Still working on it.
ReplyDeleteConsistency is important. I can't do real good for 4 or 5 days, then really poorly for 2 days or a week. That's not balance. That just makes me even sicker, and more fat.
