Weeks 15 & 16 of my Fitness Journey

Life, the Universe and Everything...

Overweight man going through fire and coming out fit

Last post I was dialed back in and feeling good about things. And then life, the universe and everything else happened. To be more specific, a wedding happened. My step-daughter got married in Nevada. There was a full day of travel on the front and back end of the trip. The rest, of course, was eating out, drinking and celebrating. Then, I got back from the trip and work was kinda crazy this past week with travel, fast food, etc. 

I actually did pretty good overall and I'm not really too upset. This morning, I weighed in at 200.4lbs. In my last post, I was 199. However, I see this as a win given all the drinking, eating, etc from all the travel. Not to mention, that I haven't worked out in almost two weeks at this point. Starting this week, I'll get back on track with the workouts. With the travel, I actually did very well in keeping up with my goal of 8-10K steps everyday. I hit that target most days the week I was away, but fell off this past week that I've been back. 

This coming week I will again be traveling for work, but it's overnight trips so I can better manage what I do and don't eat. I have my annual physical coming up the middle of this month and I really wanted to be farther along in my journey than where I am right now. One solid goal I have is to be under 200 for my annual physical. I was hoping to be around 180, but that sure as shit ain't happening in two weeks. 

But what I have to remember is that the weight didn't come on overnight so I can't expect it to go away overnight. The same goes for anyone reading this post. Be kind to yourself. Focus on what you can control and don't be such a rush that you do stupid things and create other issues or problems. 

We've got this!
