RES Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Because it's expected by now... So in the middle of the last challenge I lost my mind...and signed up for Kickboxing classes They are honestly a lot of fun, even though they make me realize how out of shape I am! Made some not so good food choices over the weekend and ended up with a flare up that made me realize why I don't eat those items anymore...time to recommit to myself and my challenge. I'm currently heavier than I've ever been in my life according to the scale this morning...that includes pregnancy (the first one I gained 50 lbs and was the first time I'd ever been over 200 lbs, currently being the second) Challenge 1. Kickboxing 3 times a week, only exception is holiday schedule or if I have a 5K (doing both would be better) Had to reduce kickboxing to once a week, the repetition was too much for my neck damage. 2. Portion sizes, even though I eat strict Paleo it has still been too much, keep tracking food and keep carbs under 60. Keep my Sun Basket subscription to help with this one because the easier I make it the more likely I am to stick with it! (One cheat a week is currently allowed.) 3. Hold myself accountable...since school isn't a part of my schedule anymore it seems like I'm at loss of what to do with my time. During season at my job I'm not at a loss of what to do with my time, but I need to hold myself accountable to checking in on my goals here, since we see what happens when I don't....I credit NF and the amazing people I've met here (and not wanting to let them down) with the progress I made before, and will again. Check in at least 3 times a week. My spreadsheet link is in my signature, as is MyFitnessPal. Yes my spreadsheet goes to the end of the year and you are welcome to steal my format if it helps you, I break it down into quarters, ymmv. Not comfortable with sharing my current measurements just yet, but plan on taking them at the end of every challenge with a +/- type thing... Upcoming 5K's 11/23 - Community First Thanksgiving Distance Classic (rain) 12/3 - Out of Darkness Walk(overdid it, could not move) 12/9 - The Super Run (rain) 12/16 - Terrain Race (with the current condition of my neck I don't think I'll realistically be able to do this one, plus $10 parking ) 12/22 - Run Santa Run 1/06/16 - Healthy Start 5k 1/13/18 - Best Damn Race (10k) 3/10/18 - Gate River Run (15k) 4/21/18 - Never Quit Run 13 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Holiday Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 80 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84|85|86| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

RES Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Wanted to share this here...because it's true...for those of us in the states just enjoy the day today, holidays are stressful enough!! Quote Reminder: Don't buy into Thanksgiving day guilt. It's just one day. Just one meal (or 2-3 if you're in my family). The calories don't count more than once. The pie does not come with extra fat-inducing sugars. The pounds of turkey do not require a workout to burn them off. It's one freaking day. If you worked out for 5 hours in one day, would you suddenly be shredded, lean, and muscular? No. So one day of eating is no different than one day of crazy exercise. It's one day. The choice is yours on how you enjoy it. Workout or don't. Eat more than usual or don't. Have an extra dessert or don't. Whatever you do, let it be your choice. Your decision. And let there be no guilt. And, certainly, no punishment or mindset that you must "undo" the damage. Because it doesn't exist. Like any celebration -- it's not about the food. It's about the people and the memories. You have plenty of other days to think and focus on calories and healthy eating. One day does not make a difference. Enjoy. Be grateful. Have fun. Happy Thanksgiving! -Born Fitness via Facebook 4 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Holiday Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 80 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84|85|86| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!
