I really don't know what had caused me to lose my disciplined mindset for the past four months. Maybe it had something to do with an arrogant attitude. I think I was telling myself that as long as I was running, I could eat whatever I wanted, and however much I felt like eating. Obviously that wasn't correct, and I put on weight (especially bloating) like crazy. It's amazing how one week of healthier eating and having discipline has led to me being back on track. Let's see how my weigh in this week went.
After not weighing last week because I was out of town, I gave myself one week to get back on track. I know I had gone up even more from the 217 lbs. I weighed at my last weigh in. Just how much higher, I'm really not entirely sure. I know I ate like a king last week, so I'm sure it was at least 220 lbs. (which a lot of it was bloating). When I stepped onto the scale this morning, I was really excited to see my result. I was down another 2.2 lbs. since my last weigh in. This brought my total weight loss to 151.4 lbs., with a current weight of 214.8 lbs. I was thrilled to see how a week of eating a lot more carefully has paid off. I am finding my discipline again, and I know that I am back on the path that I had veered off of. I think I can finish this journey in the next ten to twelve weeks. I'm back on track, and I'm losing my butter half.
My calories today were a little more than I prefer, and it's because I allowed myself to have chips. I rarely have chips, and I haven't done a good job of counting them out ahead of time. When I do it that way, my calories are always perfect. I need a better focus next time. Preparing and counting ahead of time is a huge part of discipline. My run was great today. I got another full 10K in, which is huge because it is supposed to rain tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'll get to run. The run felt great, and my time wasn't bad either! Best of all is the perfect weather I have had the past two days. It's been gorgeous out!
