21 day fix


Well, yesterday was my first day back into clean eating. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Honestly, after one day, I already feel better and motivated to not fall off. I don’t know what the heck happened to me. Working out is much harder than eating healthy and requires more determination and energy, yet I have no issues doing that. Eating like crap the past two months has not done be well. I was so good in May up until my birthday, then it all went downhill. I’ve been on a downward slope ever since. I’ve put on a bit of weight. I’m sure most people wouldn’t find it very noticeable, but I do. It’s a shame when I can hardly fit half of my clothes. I’m mad at myself because I was in the best shape of my life a year ago. I had a 6 pack. I mean, really?! Granted, I was extremely thin and underweight at the time, so with a body fat percentage that low, it wasn’t overly hard to achieve. It wasn’t natural for me at all, therefore I don’t know that I’ll ever really be back there again. At times, I knew I was too thin, but when I started to work out and build muscle, it looked more strong and lean to me. I’d love to be that lean again, but I don’t see it happening. Instead, I just want to focus on clean eating, dropping a couple of the pounds I’ve gained, and de-bloating my belly. I think those are more realistic goals to work towards. It sucks that I didn’t work this hard at the beginning of summer on clean eating, but I can at least go out with a bang as long as I stay on course. I plan on it too. I am so sick of feeling crappy. I’m pretty sore today too. I did a lower workout last night. I was sweating so badly. Tonight, I’m focusing on upper, so that I can give my legs a rest. I plan on taking Emerson to this community night out to bring Police officers closer to the community. It’s at the waterfront. They’re going to have the police dog there, face painting, etc. We can go check it out for a bit. I think my nephew is coming too. I usually don’t like doing things during the week, but I’ll make an exception for tonight. Hopefully it doesn’t throw me off course with meal prep and working out. I have to figure out what we’re going to do about dinner. I’m thinking I’ll make a shake for myself and bring snacks for Em. We can eat dinner when we get home. Here’s to hoping.  I don’t want to blow it on day #2 and I don’t feel like starving either. Hopefully this is a fun night out though. I don’t think we’ll be there very long, but to get out and walk around will be nice.

Alright, that’s about all I have for now.
