Plateau

I need to keep reminding myself that staying the same is better then gaining weight.  Right now my weight is kind of not budging which has its frustrations.  The thing that is keeping me in check is knowing that I am still eating healthy and exercising.  I have had a few slips (especially with the cold I had) but managed to get right back up and keep moving forward.  I know that I need to be a bit better with my portions of the healthy foods which I will start working on.

The program that I am doing is going to be starting a 28 reboot program which will be perfect for me.  The only thing is that I have a few events going on during those 28 days but hopefully for the majority of it I can keep myself in check.

I need to make sure I have a bunch of healthy snack options for me and the boys for our road trip.  I am not going to blow it while we are away.  I will do 2 days of running while I am there and I have 2 PT sessions booked which I am excited to try something different with a new person.

I am going to focus on balance (which i have been doing ok with but need to make it a bit better).  I think what I need is to be 100% most of the time and then when special events come up be good most of the day/evening and be able to enjoy a little treat without feeling the guilt.  That is just real life and something I want to achieve.

I found a 12 week running program in the back of a running log book I have and i plan on starting that soon.  It involves running 4x/week which i think I should be able to do.  I really want to get back into running.  Maybe not 1/2 marathon running but at least build up a long run to 10K.

well I need to head over to the grocery store and buy a few things.  today will be spent getting foods ready for my step son so he doesn't starve while we are away :)

24 hours

For the last 24 hours I feel like I lost focus but I now have it back.  I didn't do horrible but I ate more then what I normally would.  I am looking at it as being just life.  Things like this will happen and as long as I get my focus back that is the important thing.  I won't make any excuses.  I will just dust myself off and continue on the journey of reaching my goal of a healthy lifestyle.

I am doing my best to clean my house...well mainly the kitchen and bathroom (which is currently completed).  I feel like we are living in a dirty clutter of stuff and that does not help keep a positive mental attitude when you feel like you are living in a pigpen.  I will do my best to have the kitchen looking presentable by the time I go to bed tonight and my meal prep done for the 3 days that I am working.

My exercise is going well but I did take today off.  I am sick and I did work out yesterday and felt pretty drained after so I am taking a rest day today.  I need to get up early tomorrow and get some running done on the treadmill.  earlier this week I did some running outside and I just want to get back to that.  I will focus on my 6Km route (when I can) and just keep walking/running it and hopefully I will be able to run that route just like I used to.

I must get back to cleaning the kitchen.  Have a great weekend.

April

Time is flying by.  I am just happy that I am not starting this month thinking I really need to get the weight off.  I am achieving this goal and am happy with my results so far.  I am pretty sure that I am down 25 lbs.  I am having a hard time getting out of the plateau that I am currently in but I won't let it stop me from doing what I am doing.  I will keep working out and eating clean and I know that weight will start dropping again.

I have an interview for a position within the unit I am working on currently on thursday.  I am a little nervous but will just go with the flow.  I won't be upset if I don't get it but i am more concerned with who may get it if I don't.

I am doing 2 nights and I haven't done that in a while.  I am sure that it will be ok but I am really not liking being up all night.  I will be heading for a nap soon.  I hope to get just an hour or so of sleep before the kids get home from school

Speaking of naps I should actually get ready to do that now.
