So, been almost 3 months since I blogged. Have been minimally more active on my linked FB page.So, here is my status.....
So far this year, I completed a Spartan Sprint, a local 5k and then the RockNRoll Chicago. Each one showed my how far I have fallen from my prior fitness level.
I have also survived and pretty much finished the migration of our computer system at work for my department. The stress is not yet over as all my reporting has to be redone/revamped/rewritten and for the next few months it will be blending data from my old to new system. Needless to say, stress level is still kinda high. Trying to remember that I have to take time for me..... I have not been putting myself first (or probably even second or third or fourth....).
This weekend I dug back out the food scale, the tape measure, my workout log book and updated all my stats in MyFitnessPal. The numbers are not good but they are not horrid. I am up a total of 13 pounds from my lowest weight in Jan 2014 BUT been pretty steady for the last 12 months.
So now to start working the plan again. I need to start logging daily, getting in my cardio and weights (Cardio has been so-so but have not touched weights in MONTHS...) and getting back to yoga and meditation.
Funny thing is it was a simple chat w/ two guys who helped me really get going on this journey that reminded me why I needed to get back to it.
I am not sure Ian and AJ will ever realize how much of an impact they made on me and how much confidence it gave me.
I miss the feeling that the gym bought me and how much healthier I felt. As I have slacked more and more, the migraines and achiness I used to have is creeping back.
Hopefully, I can keep my focus and keep pushing on. Feel free to ask me how it is going, nudge me, push me because I need someone to help keep me going.
