One thing I learned today? DO NOT STOP WORKING OUT. I didn't work out for the past four days because I was on vacation. Actually, I was only on vacation for two days. The other days I was just feeling lazy. Today I was feeling lazy today, but I was also getting frustrated for no apparent reason. I don't know why, but I heard that one way to relieve stress is by exercising. So I was just like fine, just do it. I'm not going to look great by sitting here. So I got up and went down to the basement to work out.
During that workout, I regretted every minute of not working out the past few days. I couldn't even make it through the entire workout. So I caught my breath, then went to the treadmill. I ran for 2 minutes without stopping which is an improvement, but not where I want to be. I haven't seen a significant change, and I guess I shouldn't expect a significant change, but I at least want to see some sort of change. When is that going to happen? I only have a couple weeks until I go back to school. I don't know if I'm going to have the time to work out during school (hopefully I will).
Also this weekend, my eating habits went down hill. If you're going to go to an amusement park, you better not be hungry because you'll eat whatever comes to your mind. I really wanted a funnel cake, a pretzel, ice cream and a slice a pizza. Thank goodness I didn't have any cash on me or I would have gotten those things. We had pizza for lunch the second day. It so darn hard to keep eating healthy. The cupcakes weren't hard to stay away from. Actually, they were disgusting, and I ended up giving them to our chickens. Don't make pink lemonade cupcakes whatever you do.
"The best motivating is self-motivating. The guy says 'I wish someone would come by and turn me on.' What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life." -Jim Rohn. I really need motivation right now. I really need it to slap me in the face. It was so hard to do the workout today, and the fact that I stopped after the warm-up made me regret not working out. There's not going to be anymore of that. Tomorrow I'm going to workout. Wednesday I'm going to workout again. I'm not going to have any excuse for skipping the workout. I'm going to try to drop 4 pounds this week. I'm cutting back on my eating and pushing harder on my workouts. It's going to happen. It WILL happen.
