Yes. It has been AGES since I last posted here. This is for a variety of very legitimate reasons (moving/starting a masters program), but it has also been for one very bad reason. That reason is that I have been a very bad WWer. I haven't tracked in weeks, I haven't attended a meeting in weeks, and I have the resultant gain to prove it. Ugh. I feel terrible. So in an effort to get my lazy butt back in gear, I am blogging here again to remind myself of what I need to do.
First, EAT BETTER. I have been a gluttonous wretch for weeks. Seriously. No holding back by this girl. Everything deliciously bad for me has been consumed to excess. Not pretty.
Second, MOVE MORE. When simply painting a room can send my body into a fit of cramps and soreness, I clearly need to get my butt off the couch and out the door. I am going to plan on taking a walk after work everyday this week. I figure this will be a nice gentle way to get myself back in the habit of moving, without overdoing it with Billy Blanks water tae-bo-arding (that's a joke). A simple walk is easy to manage and will definitely make me feel better. We can up the intensity once I stop acting like an old lady.
It is amazing the difference in how I feel now compared to how I felt when I was actually trying. I have a hard time getting up in the morning because I don't feel particularly rested; I wake up really achy with tight muscles (which is new for me and not surprisingly unpleasant); and I just in general feel yucky. I am hoping that within a week of paying attention to what I am eating, TRACKING, and moving more that I'll start feeling better.
So here's to yet another re-commitment to being healthier. Accountability is key for me, so thank you, lucky readers, for being the invisible kick in the pants that I need to point myself back in the right direction (yet again). A new post in about a week (hopefully) will be forthcoming detailing the results of my efforts.
