Since my week was so off schedule last week, I had to update my workout calendar. When I miss a workout, it puts my further behind in my schedule. Missing a workout doesn't mean I quit and give up on this journey. I have come too far to turn around and go back.
Yes, it is taking me a lot longer to lose weight this time around. Last year around this time I was down almost 30 pounds. This year, only about 14. Still that is something to be thankful for. The only thing that I am doing differently is working out. Last year I lost the weight without working out and this year I am eating my workout calories (still on the fence about that).
I try to make time in my day to workout but lately my days have been starting later (more like early evenings) and the time in the morning is spent finishing group work or attempting to get ahead. Time just slips away from me and then by the time I realize it, I am too tired to do much of anything (this is starting to sound like an excuse).
Either way, making this schedule has helped me keep on track with what I have to do and what I need to do. If I miss a day, I just take note of it and fit it in when I can. Mainly because I know that in order to be successful I have to fit it in somewhere.
Check out my workout schedule page to see what's new and what is going on.
I never thought about a workout calendar before, but it's another great idea. I should probably get better at planning things ahead, though. It's the same thing with food. I know some people plan their meals for the entire week. Sometimes I have no idea what I'm going to make for dinner. It's something I'll have to work on.
ReplyDeleteI commend people who can plan their meals ahead of time. I try to do that and there are weeks where I succeed but then there are weeks where life throws so much into the mix that you have to eat what is convenient and (unfortunately) not healthy. Rachael, you are doing an amazing job on this journey, keep up the good work!!
