Okay, guess it's sort of like dipping a toe in the pool. I'm going to take "baby steps" to get back on track, beginning with journaling more frequently. I know I need to weigh in, track food, read and comment on other's journals and for me, most importantly, get back to my exercise routine. Man, amazing how quickly one's habits can change! Well, the good ones, anyway. Seems like my bad habits like to stick around. :D
Although I'm tired of making empty promises, I am going to state that today I will work out. It may end up a 15 or 20 min. workout - I'm not gonna lie, as I'm totally not feeling it. But I know I need to start again. My husband and I are thinking about taking a short hike this weekend - may be just the thing I need to get my ass in gear. We haven't done any hiking since early in the year, I think. Various issues came up, then the intense heat, then he came down with Valley Fever and pneumonia and still isn't quite 100%. Those two illnesses were really hard on him. So the plan is to take a short hike, less than five miles. Although that really IS a short hike for us, it's one we've done many times and I'm already dreading a couple of the inclines! THAT'S how I know how far I've let myself slip, fitness wise. That shouldn't even be a factor!
I may not record my food intake today. Or tomorrow, for that matter. But I am planning to at least visit the site, check on some friends, hopefully make at least a short journal entry, and begin to focus on me and my own well-being once again. Here's to fresh starts!
