Yes, it’s been a while since I last wrote. Sorry ‘bout that. I had a few life mishaps this past week which prevented me from writing. All is well now – hopefully.
I must admit, though, that I am rather proud of myself. Despite all the turmoil going on in my life recently (an illness, a car accident, fights with my car insurance company, fights with my health insurance company, the start of the spring semester, long-lost visiting relatives, and your typical depression, despair and temporary insanity) I have remained remarkably true to my New Year, New Body Resolution. I worked out every day and ate reasonably (though I’m still pushing about 1600 calories a day).
The funny thing is – I always used to make excuses as to why I couldn’t stick to a diet and exercise program. There was never enough time to workout. I needed to “stress eat” to forget the day. I’ll start fresh once my life has calmed down – I just can’t do it now. And on, and on, and on….
But this time around, when my life started to take a frantic downward spiral, I didn’t freak out. Not one binge-fest. NOT ONE! And not only did I make time no-matter-what to workout, I actually looked forward to the workout! It was my “me” time and a great stress reliever (especially my new Kung Fu workout, I simply pretend I’m kicking my insurance agent in the face. Fantastic for the emotions – and the quads.) I guess, in a weird way, sticking to my New Body Resolution gave me a much-needed sense of control over my life. Even when I couldn’t control anything else that was going on, at least I could control this.
So, all in all, I am pretty happy about what I accomplished this week (diet and exercise-wise that is, the broken car is another matter…) Hopefully, tomorrow’s weigh-in will reflect all this good behavior! I’ll let you know how it goes…
