A Bump in the Road

As you read in my last blog post, I was unhappy about gaining 0.4lbs. Really? It's not that bad. But it still upset me. There is an upside though -  I know why it happened.

 I missed the gym (twice) AND I ate poorly (burger, chips, sushi twice, lots of wine and chocolate)

I was out of town for a few days and I just wanted to live! Which is fine, but I made a mistake. I didn't get back into routine. I continued to eat poorly and miss the gym when I got home too. Bad Katie. So what did I do to fix it?

"I was better than the person I was yesterday!"

I did my cardio day (7mph sprint, 4.5mph jog for 20 mins) and my "push" day yesterday. Combined. Today I did a 2km run to Save-On (bought Marek a KitKat) and did my "leg" day. I am eating salads, oatmeal, nuts, cottage cheese, berries etc. I'm back! This experience has shown me that I am allowed to EAT, DRINK and BE MERRY - but I need to do it in moderation and keep up my exercises. I also need to realize that going up 1lb or 0.4lbs is not a huge deal. C'est la vie. Just keep at it. Inches are all that matter.

A Friend in Need

Yesterday a girlfriend contacted me for advice. Ashley, (like me) had finally had it! Tired of being overweight and embarrassed of her body. It made me so proud that I am now someone like my PTNB. Someone that knows enough about health/exercise to help a friend. Ashley calls me her inspiration, or "Inspy." Yes!!! It feels so nice to know I am actually reaching people with my journey. Ashley started her own blog too! If I get her permission I will share it with all of you.
