Things are not going along quite as smoothly as I had hoped; there's been medical setbacks, financial concerns, a family emergency, and so on. Since my last update three weeks ago, my life has been complete and utter chaos.
I've gone for two walk/runs, worked out zero times, and my diet has been complete and utter crap. Ironically, I have not gained any weight during this time, nor have I lost any. I feel as though my abdomen has expanded greatly, but have not yet measured it. Whatever muscle tone I had gained during the weeks I was working out regularly has since departed and I will be starting over again.
It seems things are settling back into a routine again, a different routine, but still a routine. Tomorrow morning my walking partner and I will resume our morning walks. Later in the day I will be able to work out with weights at home.
It is somewhat upsetting to have to "restart" my meal plan and my workout plans, but life just has a way of catching one off guard at times. This was one of those times. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong and it did so all at once.
In this situation I have a choice, I could carry on with the unhealthier eating habits and no workouts, or I could use this as a time of reflection and learning and then carry on with the original plan. And that is precisely what I'm doing; carrying on with the original plan.
I have 45 weeks left to go and 50 pounds left to lose and those are not unreasonable numbers when one is speaking about weight loss.
Wish me luck!!
