On Ash Wednesday I shared about the difficulty of eating healthy during lent. I was using the 12-week challenge as my preventative strategy to stray from the goal.
Vertigo threw a wrench in the plan with my work-outs. I ate healthy until week 3 of inactivity when I felt hopeless. I put my feelings aside and made sure I tracked all of my points. I was making unhealthy choices but I was doing it with consciousness which made me break the cycle. I kept on going for trial work-outs while on vertigo. There were a few times when I discovered it was to soon but I kept trying until I was able to work-out at my regular pace.
Change
I keep on saying it is different his time and this year I proved to myself that it truly is. I did not gain my regular 10 pounds for Lent. I stayed the course as best as I could without judgement. I allowed the process to take place without myself wrong.
Food
My meals plans are much cleaner. This year my Easter Celebration revolved around activity instead of food. I did not host the annual open house Easter celebration. The Brunch and Linner was not the focal part of my day. Also, my family is starting to make positive changes with me by making recipes I can enjoy with them. They even tell me the point values when they bring the dishes! I was over the moon when they told me, "oh and it's 3 points per serving". AWESOME.
Work - Out
I stuck to the plan and added a few more reps and exercised to the routine since the ROAR was not taught today due to Easter. Swimming, Biking, Weight Training and Yoga made the day.
To making it count.
