After last week’s wonderful triumph I figured I had everything under control. I was so wrong. This week has been challenging both physically and mentally. I started off flying high and then fell down with a thud. I started noticing I was having stomach pains and feeling yucky after I ate. I would feel so drained in the morning and at night. My workouts were impacted. I didn’t have the energy to do my power workouts.
What was going on with me? How was I going to cope if I were ill again? I’ll tell you how I coped this week. I ate macaroni and cheese every single day.
Of course that’s not good for me so I knew my weight loss would be impacted. At that point it didn’t matter much. I just wanted to console myself. I tried every morning to get up and work out. I just couldn’t do it. My body was saying something wasn’t right. My mind didn’t want to think about the possibilities.
I did the only sensible thing and called my doctor for an appointment. I also decided since I couldn’t work out I’d walk as often as I could. I started walking three times a day. I noticed there were some results. Unfortunately I didn’t curb my Mac ‘n cheese habit. I began to feel very low and scared. I didn’t want there to be anything wrong with me.
I decided I’d give myself the week and then pick myself up. It could be a little while before it is determined what’s going on with me. In the meantime I’d following my weight loss plan as closely as I could. I’d make short term goals and listen to my body. I’d also improve my food intake. I have to deal with the problem and handle it. And besides it could be something relatively minor wrong with me.
I’m moving on with a positive attitude and determination. No more feeling sorry for myself. I’m going to fight and do my best to make my goal every week. I’m going to kick fat’s butt walking 500 miles if that’s what I need to do. I know I can do it.
