Feeling a little bummed today, but trying not to let it get to me. The headache I had since Sunday afternoon is turning into a sinus clogged head that's starting to drain and a mildly sore throat. I don't know if I'm still sick, a different kind of sick or just a victim of the changing weather. On top of that, I'm back up 3 on the scale.
I know I don't eat the best that I can. I struggle with getting veggies in unless it's in a salad. It is hard to cook for just one because I get bored with my food. After I eat something for 3 days, I'm done with it unless it's something I really like and then after 5 or 6 days...I don't want it again for months. UGH! I also mentally struggle with the fact that whenever I veer from a good pattern of eating, I immediately see the consequences. No more sliding by with a little bit of bad eating here and there. Those days are gone and damn it, I'm mad about it! Is it the hypothyroidism? I've read it does make losing weight a slower battle. It is my age? As we get older, our metabolism slows down. Is it my stress? This will throw a wrench in anything. Are my activity levels too low? When I started at Swing, I was going 3-4x a week by using a monthly membership. Now I go 2x by way of classes that are more intensive than what I would do on my own. So I think that balances out. Though I do have equipment at home-bells, ab roller, balance balls, medicine ball, bands, etc. I need to step it up with my exercise, I suppose. Hard when it's cold to get moving.
I am looking forward to some activities with friends this week. Taking my friend out for dinner tomorrow night to thank her for cat-sitting while I was away. Going to PF Changs. They have a gluten free menu. YAY! Then Thursday night, a friend from where I used to work (remember job 2?) asked me if I wanted to meet him at the track. He has a thing for betting on horses...no addiction, but he likes his horses! HAHA! Really looking forward to seeing him, I miss his humor. And both of these days, I will be working out in the morning. Wed at Swing (9 am) and Thurs with my girlfriends (at 7 am...OMG!).
My first day of working 2nd shift was nice. I got a lot of errands done before work and didn't feel rushed getting there like I usually do which sets the pace for most of my day. Instead I felt relaxed. Maybe this will be a really good thing for me by ridding myself of some stress I hadn't realized from feeling rushed!
OK, I'm getting chatty again. Time to step away. HAHA! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
