Yes, I had to give up on the Dax Moy challenge - it was too restrictive for me and it ended up being something I decided I did not want to do at this point. I think it was a good program, but for someone more advanced who wants to take it to the next level.
Does this mean I have given up on my goals? No. I still eat clean (95% of the time) and I am following an 8k training program. This has me running 4 days a week and cross training at least 2. I tryto add some ab work or weights in to at least one of the running days as well. I really need to develop muscle tone.
Last night I was so proud of myself for working out when I got home late from work, did not feel like working out, and still had to cook dinner afterwards. I went for my run anyway, did some pilates and stretching when I got home, showered, cooked dinner, and ate a lot later than usual. And I was ok with that. It happens, and Ican't let life or my mood get in the way of my goals.
Today, however, has been particualrly frustrating. It all started when I weighed myself and discovered that I have not lost any weight. It appears the initial change in numbers was a fluke. I am eating clean, watching portions, drinking tons of water and completing my workouts. I even cut out caffeine and most sugar! Not drinking coke or eating chocolate - hardest thing ever. Yet, the number on the scale doesn't change. I feel better, but I really really want to be thinner. I want to wear my cute clothes again or get new cute clothes. I hate trying to hide my size. I won't go into detail of the other frustrations of the day, but they are plenty.
I really just want to go home and snuggle on the couch with my kitties. But instead I am here. dealing with it. Just doing it.
