So, I’ve been bad. I had a momentary lap in motivation. Not working out nearly as much as I should have. On Monday I only did my 15 minute warm up, 30 minutes cardio, and my weight training. Tuesday was just 40 minutes of cardio. I did nothing on Wednesday. I also ate Taco Bell on Saturday. Had a frozen pizza for dinner on Monday, and another on Wednesday for lunch.
Like I said…bad. I don’t know exactly why, there is no real reason, I just slipped. I’m back on track now though, and did my normal 15 minute warm up and 1 hour of cardio today.
I’m not going to let it get me down though. I didn’t gain any weight in those few days, which means I was still eating few enough calories that I didn’t go over how many I was burning. I also think its human to mess up. The important thing is to not dwell on it, focus on the now, and try to not let it happen again. I’m a couple days behind on my goals now, but its ok. I’m confident, I’m motivated again.
Its funny how easily it is to slip into a comfort zone and lose focus. As you slip down that slope its easy to make excuses, like “I’ve been good I deserve it” or “It won’t hurt to miss one day”. I think its the brains way of trying to make any discomfort stop, you don’t even realize you’re doing it. The human body and mind always want to take the path of least resistance. Changing the way you think and act and look at things is not an easy thing. I’m happy I’ve changed my mind set enough in these few months that I realized what I was doing and could refocus on my goals and the task at hand.
