As I’ve picked up my physical endeavours the last few weeks (biking, running/walking, and daily sit-ups), I am noticing a change in the way my body feels. My legs feel more… taut, as I walk around the office. My posture feels more upright.
If I could continue to lose the lbs and keep up the fitness regimen, I know I wold feel 20x better, physically, every day.
What is keeping me from doing that? Impatience, for one. I go for the quick fix — the snack, the free baked goods on “bagel day” — rather than the long-term solution. Distraction is another reason. I spend a lot of time focusing on work, and on family life, and on money (or lack thereof), and neglect my own health and fitness.

Somehow I had the idea that I’d lose this week, but I’m unclear as to why I thought that. There hasn’t been a single day that I’ve kept to WW Core principles. Sure, I feel like I can stray a little because I’m nursing, but things have just been ridiculous. We’re talking 2 bagels plus a little pastry on “bagel day,” plus teriyaki chicken (with tons of white rice) for lunch the other day. Today, lunch was a tuna melt, with all of the requisite bread, mayo and cheese. Plus baked potato “crisps.” What am I thinking?

I am so looking forward to moving offices so I can have a bit more time before and after work to incorporate a daily jog or bike ride into my life. I expect to be moving mid-March but things are just creeping along.
This weekend, I’m doing the bike ride (35 miles) on Sunday instead of Saturday. It’ll be fairly close to home. Hopefully Saturday or Monday (or even Sunday) we can get in some family exercise, as well.
