Well, I've been slacking. I haven't been working out much and I have not been that good with my diet. Needless to say, I feel like a giant cow. So I have decided, enough is enough. I am going to get back on the workout wagon and try to start eating better again. Now, I do not expect to go from 0-60 right away. I am going to be realistic otherwise I'll get sad at myself for failing to reach my goal and I'll devour a whole gallon of ice cream. Which would then, in turn, make me even sadder for REALLY failing my diet.
So, knowing me and knowing how much I love junk food, I am letting myself cheat. Not daily, not all the time. But I know I need to give myself SOME lee-way when it comes to a diet. Otherwise its bad news bears. The diet I am going to attempt to follow 90% of the time (or every day but Sundays, I am not sure yet which I think I can do) is the following:
I think I can do that. Now, in theory, if I give myself one day a week to have some of those things, I think that's a better idea. Because if I decide to let myself have a tiny cheat every so often, I think I'll just end up having junk all the time, probably one piece daily, and that won't work. So one day a week I think is more feasible and more likely to keep me on track. Now, by one day a week I do NOT mean
What I mean is more like, I AM allowed ice cream, or candy, or maybe a donut, on one particular day. It does NOT mean that all day I eat all the junk that I want. So yeah, I think that's doable. Even though all I want is chicken tenders and sweetarts, I think I can push my cravings aside and do what's best for me.
Now in regards to working out, I am going to aim for 3 days a week at CrossFit and then 2 walks a week. I know that if I set my sights on working out daily, I'll fail. And this quest is not about setting high goals that I cannot reach. It's about actually making a difference in my body again. So, my 3 days a week at CrossFit and then 2 walks on other days is TOTALLY feasible. Then, when I am up to it, I can go to CrossFit an extra day. But for now, I'll set my sights on three days a week. I think for now this is a good way to get back into everything. Especially since I have kind of been a lazy bum the past two months.
