Okay, I'm Back.

I've been prolonging the continuation of my blogging as well as my weight loss. I've been telling myself that I'm "Still riding my bike and going to the gym every once in awhile" to make myself feel better. I don't want to take that route. I am ashamed of myself that I've let myself fall off the wagon. I have been busier and I'm also maintaining my weight loss which has lowered my desire to go to the gym but I'm not done yet. I really am happy with where I'm at but I know I can do better and achieve what I said I would.

I predicted that this would happen. Sometimes the biggest obstacle in the weight loss journey is the gradual slowing down to a halt without really noticing it. I didn't want to blog because I knew that once I did, I would have to start working harder again. So I am. I keep thinking that I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks so it doesn't really matter and that I can just resume when I get back. That's stupid. There is always going to be something coming up that gives me a reason to procrastinate.

I'm not setting a weight loss goal right now, but a very short term workout plan that I HAVE to stick to. I have to be able to return to my discipline oriented self that once was.

I am going to get up early every weekday for the next 20 days and run for at least 30 minutes. I don't care if I lift weights but I'm going to run. I am also going to eliminate any beverage other than coffee and water for the next 20 days. I will also adhere to zone diet standards for the next 20 days. That's my commitment to myself and anyone who reads this blog. It's embarrassing having to come back to this after being lazy but I'm used to being embarrassed. This fight is not over and I will not give up.
