Hey you all. I know this update is long overdue. I have lost sight of my goals. I started the 21 day fix but quit about 3 days in. Since then, I've been pretty much eating everything I wanted (except meat) and promising myself I will start again on 'Monday'. I have still been going to the gym at least 3 times a week, but no where near as often as I was. This has been going on for about 3 weeks. I haven't gained any weight (right now I'm at 234) but I think it is because I am losing muscle mass. I am slowly but surely undoing everything I worked so hard for because I am comfortable. I can fit into normal size clothes, and I am fine with the way I look in clothes. But, leave it to my body to remind me why I started this journey in the first place. Last night I had my first gallbladder attack since last year when I began my health journey. It was horrible. I did not have to go to the hospital, but I did have to wait in unbareble pain until my medicine kicked in. Even though, I hate having those attacks, I'm glad it happened when it did. That pain was the swift kick in the ass I needed to get back on track. It reminded me that I am not doing this to look a certain way for Miami (even though that is a perk), I am doing this for my health. Yes, having a cheat meal once or twice (depending in your goals and body) is okay but eating fried and greasy foods everyday is not especially if you have problems with your digestive system. I am no longer waiting until Monday to get back on track. I am going strictly vegan again TODAY (which is Friday lol). Have you all struggled with your diet? How did you get back on track?
Until next time..
