It's May?!?

I am so sorry for the extremely late update.  I am not sticking to my weekly posts like I had hoped in the beginning.  Seriously though, it's May? What happened to April?


Dietbet update:


I failed again....I don't know what happened...actually I do.  I have been slacking a lot.  I'm not watching what I put into my mouth as much now.  I need to get back to logging all my foods and not letting myself say oh this little bite won't make difference because obviously it does. 


I am going to take a break from dietbets for right now and try to get back on focusing on my diet and exercise.  The extra stress of trying to make a goal in a set amount of time should not be my focus.  It should be trying to be healthy and meeting that long term goal. 


Activity update: 


I am still going to the rowing classes and I am loving it!  This weekend though I went to a class Saturday and Sunday and I think I pushed my body too far.  It's Tuesday and my legs are still sore..I'm not sure what workout it was but my front upper thighs are extremely sore.  Like so sore I could barely walk or go up and down stairs yesterday...I may need to look into how to make sure this does not happen again!


I am still working towards my 10k goal but a little slower now that I am rowing also.  I know the rowing has been pushing my body in different ways so I don't want to overwhelm myself and get an injury.  Last weekend every one back home in Indianapolis celebrated the Indy 500 Mini-Marathon.  The post of joy and accomplishment were very inspiring.  I would like to do a half marathon some day.  I remember seeing people do it when I lived there and thinking they were all crazy.  I can now see why they did it.  All the work they put into make it all worth it when they cross that finish line.  I want to have the feeling one day and everyday I hope I am working towards that but maybe at my own pace. 


Weight update:


Like I said, I have been slacking...I am at 188 as of this morning and I've been fluctuating all through the 180s for the last month.  I know I say I didn't want to stay in the 180s for a month but it happened.  I am disappointed in myself.  Time to get back on the wagon.  I think I am going to try and change up my diet though to include a cheat day because cutting out all the food that tempt me everyday is not working.  I need a guilt free day where I can indulge but know that for the rest of the week it is diet time.  I don't plan on going on crazy buffet binges but maybe allowing myself some extra carbs and some sweets I would otherwise turn down.  This way I don't go on week long binges because I just crave crappy food.  We'll see how this goes...I understand that I should be making lifelong changes and I believe this is how I want to live the rest of my life.  There are days when the splurge isn't worth it and other times when enjoying a warm morning cinnamon bun with your family is worth taking in.
