So I had a few bad months. I still have bad days but I'm not gonna beat myself up about them, everybody's entitled to them. It's just a matter of how you respond and whether you let bad days become bad weeks, months or even years as I have done in the past. I've joined a gym again and it's great, I've been going three times a week, I'm cycling to and from work everyday which means about 40 miles a week.
I'm not competing with anyone except myself, but even that feels like an awkward balance. In a way, I feel like whatever I'm doing, I'm doing without pressure because there's no way in hell I'm getting anywhere near my worst, even now I'm about 70lb less than that. There have been times when I'd beat myself up for as I saw it, not making enough progress, having the odd set back or whatever but ultimately I've made 70lb progress which frankly is amazing and I should congratulate myself for, two steps forward and one step back is still a step forward. On the other hand I worry about getting complacent. I don't know if I'll be happy with my body if I get down to say 220lb again, I was there a few years ago and not particularly happy in myself but there were other reasons for that anyway. It's a journey...
