My shoes were so bad, I was getting shin splints and had to wait for my new ones to come in the mail -so, I fell off the wagon for a whole week. I was like a hoover and felt like my band had no restrictions to it at all. I know I need a band-fill, but this was a little over the top. My appointment in March can't come fast enough!
I ate whatever I wanted, didn't go to the gym, and had a grand old time. I only felt a little guilty that I put my body through a surgery and could so easily fall of the wagon. Which is not good...HOWEVER, that said - as of yesterday I am back on with a vengeance. I needed a reality check and when I stepped on the scale and hadn't lost a pound in more than a week (though thankfully I hadn't gained a pound either), I knew I wasn't doing myself or my band any justice.
After having been off the gym wagon for 5 days, it's really hard to shift my mentality back to working out. Getting out of bed is harder and my motivation has dwindled. I know after a few more days it will be the same as before, but damn is it hard to get going again. BUT, I went to the gym yesterday and walked for 40 minutes and then did the dreaded weight lifting and was up and at 'em early this morning too.
I should probably embrace my struggle, since the harder I fight it the worse off I seem to be. That or I am just meant to fight this battle every step of the way....at least I will appreciate it more when I get to the end of this journey. :)
climbing back on the wagon is the hardest part.....getting back the mojo/mentality is always soooo hard. You just inspired me to get off my ass today! So thank you for sharing!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree-it's definitely the hardest part - you can do it! :)
