Hey, guys!
Sorry I haven't posted my progress the past several weeks. It's always something- a trip to San Diego or a super big breakfast before I was supposed to shoot some pics and a "I'll do it later today"! I'll switch up the format since I've been doing things a little bit differently. The past 3 or 4 weeks, I've been focussing on just doing heavy duty hilly walks with toning exercises afterwards. I do this 5 mile loop with a good friend of mine and we stop at a park and do an hours worth of sprints, ab exercises, punches and kicks, squats, and other toning exercises. It seems to be helping a little bit but I still feel really discouraged about how slowly the process is going. I see little improvements- my butt is more toned and not so saggy, my thighs feel more muscular, my tummy is a little more firm- but I still feel like a gross size and I notice when I put old clothing on that I haven't worn in a while- I just don't fit anymore. Quite saddening! I'm trying to learn how to both be kinder to myself AND more consistent and hard working. These are things that are hard for me! I guess fitness is a life time process and being healthy is a lifestyle- not a timed program. I'm trying to just work on being more and more consistent and I'm better about working out MORE often (though I skip or half ass my workouts semi-frequently) but I'm still terrible about eating right. I'll eat healthy most of the day, but then I'll snag a coffee and some ice cream, or some chocolate milk and a donut, or a whole 2,000 calorie bag of hot cheetos. I notice the more strict I am with myself, the more unhealthy things I binge on. I'm going to have to find a balance because when I'm too tough on myself, I get emotional. When I get emotional, I over-eat. When I over-eat, I beat myself up about it. It's a nasty cycle. (Didn't weigh myself today! Forgot to hop on the scale before I did breakfast and all that jazz.)
