I am finally back to 100% strength after the week long bout with the stomach flu. I didn’t feel “right” all week and my progress suffered. Emotionally I was not good yesterday.
So I did the only thing I knew would work. I worked out…hard. I left it all in the gym. I am exhausted and I may not be able to move my arms tomorrow, but I am back in the game. And I feel great.
I did eat a few too many calories today. I think it may be because this was the first day in a week I didn’t feel like I was going to throw up. I will watch myself tomorrow. I worked out hard, and still have a calorie deficit for the day, but I could have done so much better.
However, it’s February and I’m still fighting. Many, many people would have given up by now, and I am more determined than ever to keep going.
I’ve lost 6 pounds in a month. I’ve run nearly 10 miles. I’ve made this lifestyle into a habit. Now it’s just a matter of persistence. Tenacity. Never say die. I will not give up. I will reach my goal.
