The last of my family is leaving town today and I am still recovering from the flu so I’m not pushing myself too hard.

I’ve decided not to exercise or focus on my steps or anything until Monday. I’m going to make sure I am 100% better before I push myself.

PWI (12/11/19): 211.0

CW (12/18/19): 211.6

Weekly Loss: +0.6

This was a rough week for me. I had family in town the entire week and had two HUGE family events. Then we all went out drinking one night. Plus I had the flu for 4 days. So my body is all kinds of confused and bleh. I didn’t work out much, but that’s okay. This happens.

Sometimes, you eat healthy and workout. Sometimes you need pizza, beer and movie night. And thats ok. You need balance, but stay focused on your goals. Dont let your old habits ruin your future.

Goals for Today:

1) REST

2) Enjoy my Day with Family

3) Drink only Water

4) Try Not to Over Do It with Anything

✨✨✨✨✨

Today is a huge yearly gathering of my family. There going to be 50+ people in one house and TONS of unhealthy food. We are also doing presents and having a good time.

I’m going to try not to over do it on any of the unhealthy foods, but I am going to relax and enjoy myself. It’s hard because they are making all my favorite foods.

What a day. I got up at 4:45 again and went to the gym, but I was exhausted before I even started working out. My workouts both today and yesterday were sluggish and hard. I think it’s because I ended up working out on my last three rest days. So today was day 12 in a row. I need a rest and I’m taking it this weekend. But I did some pacing at work and then some yoga tonight.

I hit my water goal easily, but my food intake wasn’t very good. I woke up STARVING, but by the time I left the gym I wasn’t that hungry anymore. It wasn’t my healthiest day, but that’s okay. It’s all about balance.

Breakfast - Strawberry, Kiwi, Banana, Kale Smoothie

Lunch - Sonny’s BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich

Dinner - Pizza Hut Meat Lovers Pizza

Overall it was a good day. My sister got to town today so it was nice catching up with her, but I am exhausted. I think I could sleep for like 15 hours. But I have a family event tomorrow so that won’t be happening.

Today was a long day. I got up at 4:45 and went to the gym. I ended up doing both upper body and core. I did some light pacing around the office too so I hit my step goal easily.

I drank over a gallon of water today. As for food, it was a pretty good day.

Breakfast: Mango, Pineapple, Banana, Kale Smoothie

Lunch: Salad with Cranberries and Almonds

Dinner: Taco Salad

Evening Snack: Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie

It was a good day, but super long. I am completely exhausted. Goodnight 🌙

I needed a day like today! Today was my “rest” day. I decided before I went to bed last night that I was going to take the day off. I just wanted to give myself a break. But I was super stiff today. So while I was at work I decided to do a little light yoga to stretch. It felt AMAZING. So I did some pacing around the office and then went for an evening walk.

I got distracted at work this morning and forgot to eat breakfast. Then my mom made dinner so it wasn’t the healthiest thing in the world, but I made it healthy!

Breakfast -

Lunch - Healthy Choice Crustless Pot Pie

Dinner - TACOS 🌮 Well actually Taco Salad

Overall it was great and I loved getting to spend the evening with my mom. She is staying with me so I have a feeling my food with me less healthy than I’m used to for the next week.

Now I’m headed to bed. Goodnight 🌙

Am I the only one that feels guilty about taking rest days? In my brain, I know that my body needs rest or I’ll burn out, but at the same time, I can’t keep the negative thoughts and self-doubts away.

It’s something that I am really working on. Today is a rest day for me after nine days of working out. I’m going to enjoy it and relax. And then tomorrow I will be back in the gym. I will be so much better off than if I decided to try and workout today.

My lesson:

“Giving your body what it needs is the most important part of being healthy. Some days it needs a salad and a run. Some days it needs a nap and fuzzy socks. Listen to what your body is saying.”
