I’ve blown it. I almost died when I saw the scale stopped at my heaviest weight ever. I’m embarrassed about it but I’m going to talk about it, address this weight issue anyway.
I stopped going to the gym when we flew to Japan for vacation. July 31, 2008 was my last day at the gym. After a month and a half, I came back from vacation, surprisingly the same without any weight gain. I was able to avoid food binging. But after that? It just all went downhill for me, especially during the holidays. I am weak. Since the beginning of December, there had been parties almost every single weekend, and usually and I tried to select those that would not push my temptations too far, but (insert frustration here)… I’m weak. In no time, weight has slowly crept in again.
And I found myself crossing the street and visiting the grocery store across my office to buy something wicked almost everyday. My excuse for going out after lunch was to “walk” when inside me, the real reason was to cure the crazy sugar rush. I hate these cravings.
So I am sharing again, saying I will fight this battle to regain my health. Backaches has come back due to the extra weight I am carrying. I am constantly tired and no matter how many packs of sweet things I consume, I still long for it the next day. Frustrating, I know but no one will fight this for me. I am a lone soldier in this battle.
It’s back to the gym for me, no matter what. I loved exercising and I miss my time at the gym. I loved the after-effect of a good run. I should do it again. This time, I have formulated a schedule that is almost fool proof. Instead of going to the gym AFTER work, I am going to workout on my lunch break. It’s a challenge that needs a lot of adjustment but I figure out this is the best exercise time for me. After work, I’ve had excuses like I want to go home early to be with my daughter, groceries, dinner, etc. When it’s noon time, I can’t go anywhere than the office so it should work. Let’s see.
Finally as the title says, fit or fat. It’s our choice, it’s MY choice and hands down, I want to be fit, dammit!!
Okay, exercise is good, but it’s not the whole enchilada. Time for you to stop eating the sweets in an uncontrolled manner and get yourself on a good healthful eating plan.
Make sure you eat every meal. Concentrate on vegetables and lean protein like chicken and fish. For snacks have fruit. Save the candy for an occasional treat, but in very small amounts. If you need more help. I am here for you!
