As many of my readers and friends know, I am prepping to run the Susan G Komen Race for the
Cure in New Orleans. I ran the Twilight 5K for Elmwood Fitness Center about a month ago. I was prepping by running 3x per week until about a month ago. I've noticed that I've slacked from working out since I returned from Miami. The results... I've gained weight!!! I can't blame this solely on my lack of working out. I must also blame my poor eating habits particularly for lunch. I'm striving to regain control of this situation. I've always been one whose weight safely rests between 140-150 lbs without doing any extras. I'm 5"8 so I think this range is pretty good. I prefer to be closer to 140 but I noticed the other day that I've tipped the scales to 151.5 lbs. Was the 0.5 lbs really necessary? I was previously 144 lbs. When I'm working out on the regular I usually drop down to 135 lbs. I'm not a big believer in yo-yoing my weight by extreme dieting and so forth but I'd like to regain control before my metabolism rate continuously decreases.
So what's my plan? For now I'm resuming my 3 day a week runs in hopes to use my off days as gym time. I haven't quite developed a gym routine that I can stick with. I desperately need to kick my fear of fitness trainers so that I can get something I can stick to. I also need to eat better. I've started snacking better but my cheat days are every day. I crave things like fried chicken after I work out. Now y'all know that ain't nothing but the devil. Lol!. Y'all pray for me because I'm trying... just more in my mind than in my actions.
What are my focus areas? I want overall toning. I want gluts and abs that make you want to exercise too. Lol. Most of all I desire to maintain my bust. I don't want to be the chick who works out and loses it all. I've had that happen before. Until I hire the trainer, I guess my reading of fitness material shall commence now.... #thestruggle
