Back on Track & A Weigh In

by Heidi on June 25, 2012

Okay. Our one wedding for the summer is over. Our first of at least THREE #tripnorth’s is over.

I’m feeling a little soft though. The past two weeks my training has not been as great as I would like it to be.

So this week? We’re recommitting to being back on track.

I signed up for Run with Jess’s Marathon Weight Loss Challenge to really motivate me to stick with my goals. I am recommitted to reaching my goal weight and I’m soooo close. I’ve been wavering between 134 and 137 and after this weekend and the boozefest the wedding was Saturday night (and we didn’t even make it to the after party!) I am recommitted to kicking butt and taking names – especially since I have 4 weeks before my triathlon and I want to just rock that bia! We’re both feeling really really out of shape after last week and this past weekend so it’s time to recommit.

I’ve learned that its so easy with the husband to fall into old habits. Drinking too much, eating out too often and spending too much time on the couch (he didn’t understand how much of a vortex it is until last week. He thought I was exaggerating. I was not). So this week we’re detoxing a bit and getting back into the good habits we had when we were apart.

This means accountability.  So each Monday, until I reach that goal weight, I’ll be sticking with my weigh ins, sharing my workouts and my menus. I’ll be sharing more images of healthier meals and documenting workouts on Daily Mile (are you on there? Friend me!)

How do you get yourself back into a routine when you fall off the wagon?

    You are so much more disciplined than I am. When I fall off the wagon, I have trouble admitting that I was ever on the wagon in the first place and therefore never admit to myself that I failed since I never really tried. I guess that is why I stay in the 200s and you’re all the way down the other end of the scale. ;-)   But in my head I plan.  I tell myself, “Okay, so your eating is going to get out of control.  Can we be more active to make up for it?” And then I plan workouts.

      yeah i have to plan strictly and it’s hard to stick with it. I don’t deny that. But when you get off track you just have to let it go, and get back on. I knew last week was going to be tough because Adam came home after being gone for 2 weeks and then we traveled up north for a wedding. But accept it for what it is, life happens the best you can do is pick yourself up and get back on track after all is said and done :)
