Haven't Given Up

It's been awhile! I haven't fallen off the wagon, gained weight, and decided to give up. I just have been dealing with life. My gym partner (Mom) has returned to work. So I have been slacking on getting to the gym on every single day off I have. Which makes so sense because the first two months of my journey I was able to make myself get to the gym all by my lonesome. I guess I just got used to having her with me. I'm giving myself this last week of just going every other day. Then IT'S ON!

I haven't gained but I also haven't been as strict as I had been with tracking every morsel of food I slap into my face. My water intake? It has suffered since the weather has started to cool down. I just filled my Bubba Mug up, and am hoping to get my gallon in today. All of these things I know happen at points in the journey. Important thing is to realize that and make the changes needed. Most of my other attempts I would have given up completely. Nope, not this time.

So I have maintained my weight. And I am ok with that. It'll start going down next week mark my words!

I've also attempted to start running. I got fitted with running sneakers and a specialty store and am able to do intervals with much more ease than I was able to prior. It's helped that I'm pretty fit cardio wise. I still have aches and my feet still hurt a bit. But I've been told running hurts. I'm also still rather overweight and it stressed my body.

I just had a nice salad for lunch. Making pasta tonight so I wanted to make sure to have the calories set aside for that.

So yeah... I am here, still doing what I do.
