Today is a new day. I took the weekend "off" from workouts and really didn't stick to my plan for the past three days. Today, however, is a new day. I'm back in the routine, getting up early and getting in my Wii workout. I feel good about that. (I'm a little concerned about all three boys still sleeping, an hour and a half after my alarm went off, but I'm enjoying the quiet time!). I feel guilty about slacking through the weekend, but I'm motivated to start back up again.
I'm wondering if this is going to become my typical weekend routine. I know it's probably not ideal, but I'm finding it extremely hard to keep my regular workout routines and sleep routines through the weekends. This is two in a row now where I really just let things slide because of all of the family or social commitments that I had on the weekends. It doesn't seem to have upset my weight loss - I'm sure it slowed it down a little, but the weight IS still coming off. I'm wondering if letting go of my ideal of 1-2 workouts a day would be a healthy thing for the weekends, as long as I don't change my eating habits during those days. Would that make me feel less guilty on Sunday nights or Monday mornings?
Or is it a slippery slope to a life of NO workouts?
I'm still debating.....
How do YOU treat the weekends? Do you alter your diet plan? Your workout schedule? Or do they stay the same as the weekdays? Share!
Hey Heidi-
ReplyDeleteI really like your new blog. I have been on this journey for about twelve months now, and am just now feeling like exercise and eating well are just what I do. It has taken me this long to really get comfortable with the new lifestyle. For me, working out six days a week for at least an hour is what did it. Now, I feel funny if I miss a workout. I think when I tried to do weekends off it led me down the wrong path. When I didn't work out, my eating suffered. Just do your best for the current day and don't think so long term. You can do it, and you are on your way!
