Well, with my son's birthday and Thanksgiving added into the mix, I'm not disappointed to see a small loss on the scale this week. I also haven't really exercised at all this weekend because it was so busy with the cooking and cleaning and entertaining- I'm going to remedy that this week.
Honestly, the more of a break I take from exercising, the harder it is to get back into it. When I was working out 5-6 days a week, it was just something I did, so like it or not I got used to it. Now? It's back to being something that is hard to do and my brain whines like a six year old about doing it. Sometimes I just have to remind myself to be the adult and do the thing that is good for me, whether I want to or not. My cardiac fitness score remains below average quite a bit- that drop from the month in bed was precipitous and it scares me. I really want to see some markers of improvement, and I haven't been exercising consistently enough for that. I've gone for a few walks this past week but that's not really enough to boost my fitness level. And I need to start lifting weights again as well.
With all the holidays, I definitely did overeat a bit this week, and that I'm okay with. Fortunately, I don't experience side effects from overeating, or for eating heavier foods. This doesn't mean I give myself carte blanche to stuff myself, but yeah, I did have a small plate of seconds I probably shouldn't have. As long as it's not my usual practice, I can forgive myself for a couple of times a year. And the leftover sugarfree pumpkin pie I had for breakfast was delicious!
The next major occasion is my birthday next month, so time to focus and see how far I can get before my next indulgences!
