Overcome: Endulgence desires
This week has been a little harder for me. I injured my back at the beginning of the week and I’m still recovering from that. There were only 2 days where I was not able to do much at all, but really even the rest of the week was a lot slower.
Generally I try to do work outs throughout the day to keep the metabolish up as much as possible. But when I could barely get through my cardio, it was hard to then keep pushing my back. I keep hoping that by losing weight I will eventually get my back in order again, but I have a feeling it will always be a curse. It will get better of course, but I suppose never the same. The consequence of my decissions in the first place I guess.
Well, on that slightly depressing note here is what I am going to do about it.
I can continue to lose weight.
I can redouble my effort and not sink into discouragement
I can think of innovative ways to work around my injury
I can reduce my calorie consumption to insure that I lose weight on reduced activity.
This weekend I was going to indulge a little more. I was going to take a break, but I feel like I need to push myself a little more now since I missed too much in the middle. I am going to set a goal to do 33 miles from Friday-Sun. That will put me over 100 miles for the month, and will be a 50% increase over what I have done thus far in milage. It is a huge goal. I typically will do that over the course of a week with smaller shorter work outs in the middle, but I feel like I need to really push myself and get back on track.
I need to wait another week before I can do another Isagenix cleans. So I will set a more reasonable weight loss goal. I’m going to lose 3 lbs over the weekend.
This means that I will have to put off my spinch cheese dip that I was going to endulge in while watching a movie. And I will have to spend some more time workout out. But I will do it.
I’m going to shoot for 3 gallons of water consumtion as well. Since I will be home all weekend I can so that easily enough and I will be workout hard the whole time so my body will need it.
I am also going to shoot for 9 hours of sleep a night. I need the extra time to help recover. I’ve not been gett more than 6-7 at the most for several nights now. That never helps with weigt loss.
I am also going to look up my old rehab program for my back and start putting that into practice. The doctors said before that one of the main problems was that my larger muscles were out pacing the core muscles that help hold the bones in my spine in alingment. So I would really tweek things by getting into only partially better health. I need to get everything up to par again.
Well, that is the plan. I’ll report on Monday.

Well, although I will miss out on the spinach cheese dip (because I have been craving chips and cheesy dip since I saw the recipe in Kraft Foods) we will just have to watch our movie without the extra sides – well, I will probably still have some kind of munchy, but it will be a non-tempting-Matt munchy, just to be supportive. But the pregnant lady has got to eat – seems like often.
But I think that doing the back therapy is a good idea – get the total muscle strength all around the body center so it stops pulling on the spine and back muscles so much. I'm sure the weight you have lost has made this injury much less severe than it otherwise might have been.
It's really admirable that you refuse to be discouraged! I don't think I could put off spinach cheese dip; it sounds delicious. Actually, I have a problem overcoming any of desires when it comes to food, the main reason I have an issue with weight loss. I wish I could remain as motivated as you do! Keep up the good work.
