I Thought it was a Bad Week
I was feeling a slump hitting me hard. I was back from vacation and while I knew what my new "goal" was, I was still not feeling it. I skipped two days of exercise in one week. I had never done that before. One day yes, but never two. I was eating things that weren't awesome for me. Not particularly bad but I wasn't really "trying." More than anything I was just feeling sluggish.
Then I got a spark, I guess. I don't know what it really was but there was something that just started pushing me again. I think I decided to take advantage of my pseudo-celebration of BrooklynBeast's accomplishment of doing a 100 mile bike ride this weekend to spur me on. It started mostly as a joke but I guess it worked and I just started building on it a little bit. The only thing I couldn't seem to get it to do was spur me on to get up early this morning and get on the bike again before weigh-in. Just wasn't happening. But really, let's not pretend that I will ever be a morning person.
So I went to weigh-in today fully aware of the beginning of my week and how... weak... it was. I was prepared to maintain or maybe gain or lose just a little. I knew what I had to do to hit my next level but was absolutely certain that I wasn't going to do it. You see where this is going right?
Today I hit my "official" 50 pound loss. Yay me! So I guess the point is that even when you let a couple of days slide by you, you CAN pick it back up and make it better. And tomorrow will be even better.
