I talk a lot about exercise. I love to tell everyone how much I go to the gym. I can talk forever about Spinning. I can tell you right now that I attended my step class, followed by my weight lifting class today. Or that I'll be adding more meters to my rowing challenge tomorrow. Or that Friday mornings are my favorite because I love the spin class. So far, I've never mentioned my eating. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why either. I'm overly enthusiastic about working out to mask the fact that I'm really struggling with my diet.
I know what to eat. I know what I shouldn't eat as much. I know that I need to burn more calories than I take in. It's actually doing it that is my problem lately. I can work out like a champ because I'm fairly good at it. While I'd love to continue to rave on about my exercise regimen, we all know there are more facets to weight loss than just exercise. That's the struggle I find myself in the last few months. I've bounced in between these same few pounds for a long time now. And, I'm sure my eating is to blame. Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things.
In my defense, we have had graduations, birthday parties, Mother's day, and several other celebrations where cake and baked goods were abundant. Several of those were at my home, so the left over cake, cupcakes, and Rice Krispie treats never made it very far. Add in baseball season and dinners at the ballpark, and it's a recipe for eating disaster!
Like I mentioned yesterday, I promised that I'd be honest with this blog. And honestly, I'm struggling with this right now. But, each day, each meal is an opportunity to do better. So far so good today! I'll keep you all posted!
