So its the end of week 4 and have been cruising along working hard being extremely compliant to my diet and exercise plan.. I feel like it is starting to pay off. The scale is 11 pounds down and clothes are being to be loose on me. Many tuff obstacles have been in my way and I have made good, smart choices. Until yesterday I made the conscious decision to have a cheese burger from "Five Guys" one of my favorites. I tried to justify to myself I could make it "healthier" by not adding the mayo and ketchup to the burger and having extra veggies on it. Who was I kidding? (see below) I never took note that more than half of my daily calories could really be ingested in one meal.

I knew I was being bad and I felt I needed to come clean and tell the world on Facebook what I had done. To come clean and be honest to myself, supporters, my teammates and my trainer. I could have very easily not said a word on my major set back but felt I would only be lying and deceiving myself. That is not who Iam and for that I am not sorry for sharing my set backs. BUT I feel like I have been marked with the Scarlet Letter "D" for disappointment for letting my trainer down. That is one of that last things I would want to do. He has volunteered his time to get me back in shape and sure reading my burger feast was a slap in the face to him and for that I am sorry. Very very sorry. The last thing I want him to think is I am wasting his time. I am beyond grateful for the 3 hours a week I get to workout with him. But again I felt I needed to be honest with my set back so I could move forward. And move forward I did. Today while my teammates were training I had to run two long laps around the field. Just when I thought I would be done Dan threw another lap at me.I knew I needed to take anything he threw at me today. Tired and just about worn out I had to catch up with the other girls on the workout they had already started. Definitely a tuff workout day.
So you maybe asking was eating the wrong thing worth it? Well I am not going to answer that question.
Being honest to myself and taking my punishment like the tuff woman that I am? Yes.
To I plan to go off program again? Hell NO! But If I do I will post so I can be held accountable for my actions.
Am I great-full to Dan and Sweatlife Fitness for this amazing opportunity? Hell Yes!!
Am I going to be the BWLC winner? I am not going down without a fight.
Way to go, Steph! Sometimes you have to stumble in order to make yourself fight even harder. I think we all learned from this. I can't say enough how proud of you and all of us I am! Go, girl!
ReplyDeleteKeep going Steph---- slow and steady will win this race. Don't be too hard on yourself--- it was a temporary setback and you are already back on program. It's not easy, you are doing great!
