I know it. I’ve been MIA. I finally got to a point where I was feeling really healthy and I felt amazing in my bikini when we went to Florida, and then I guess on the way home I fell (er, um, ok, I jumped) off the back of the pick-up truck. I mean, we DO live in Texas! I must have landed at the corner of Lazyass Lane & I Don’t Wanna, You Can’t Make Me Drive. And that's exactly where I stayed - face down on the pavement - ever since. You see...
when we got home from the beach, I received some news that sent me spiraling into a frenzy of eat that, not this and it’s caught up with me. My 11 year old cousin was diagnosed with a rare, inoperable brain tumor. Being so far away from my family during this time, I think, sent me into a bit of mild depression. The emotional eating monster within me returned and she dove head first into a package of oreo cookies, my friends. Whatever sugar I could get my hands on…I ate it. And to make matters even worse, I have exercised intentionally MAYBE 4 times in the last 2 months. Whaaaa? Yes, you read that correctly. I am feeling the effects of going back to those unhealthy habits, and it doesn’t feel good. I think part of my problem is that I also, admittedly, got bored with the 21 day fix videos and needed something new. Ironically, my hubby started working out with Autumn every day when we returned from the beach and he has lost 3” in his waist! His jeans are falling off even though he hasn’t changed his nutrition. I am very proud of him! Remember that whole saying “If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up”? Feels like the story of my life. Anyone? Pride stood in the way of me even coming back on my blog and admitting to everyone that I failed. But then, a friend reminded me that you only fail if when you stumble, you don’t ever get back up. It’s okay to get off track; it happens. I’m human. I’m not perfect! Yesterday no longer matters. Today is a new day so make it count dammit! For reals.
I am starting a new program next week called T25. This is also a Beach Body program. I’ve heard great things. You may recall, I did give P90x3 a try before the beach. I hated it. So did Kyle. There was maybe 1 video I enjoyed. When they said extreme fitness, they meant it. And because I have arthritis in my wrists, I couldn’t even do half of the moves or the modifications, if you could even call them that. So I really hope that I fall in love with T25 the way I did with the 21DF!
I commit to you that I will update my daily progress here because that helped me to succeed with the 21 day fix program. If I put it out there, I will hold myself to it. It’s almost jeans season here dolls (I said almost), and I don’t want to feel gross in my jeans. Ladies, you know what I’m talking about! Two things you want to look good and feel good in: swimsuits and jeans baby! Oh, it’s on…again!
