I'll start with the easy part of the post. I added another 5100 meters (3.17 miles) to my rowing challenge! Now on to the harder part...
The reason I haven't posted in a few days is because I didn't have very much to say. In fact, I thought a lot about whether or not I even wanted to keep going with the blog. In my experience, a weight gain here and there is just a small part of the overall journey. However, now that I'm blogging about it, I'm not handling it quite as well. Especially since I just started. It would have been one thing to have a gain when I was a few months in. But, I've only been seriously doing this for a few weeks and I've already gained a pound. It's a little embarrassing to say the least and not exactly putting my best foot forward.
But, I decided to keep on keepin' on. It is what it is and I'm trying my best to be honest about it. Gains and all. While I'm not offering the best example right now, I'm hoping at least I'm getting some props for keeping it real.
Definitely getting props from here! Don't get discouraged. You are making an impact. I look forward to reading your posts for the simple fact that it helps me to know that I am not alone in this. I was 10 pounds from my goal last summer and I have added 15 to that and I am in the same boat as you are. I keep bouncing around the same 2-3 pounds week after week. I trained for a half marathon all winter and thought that that was the ticket to getting back on track. But guess what? Like you said a few days ago - exercise alone will not drop the pounds. I am battling my eating EVERY DAY!
