Thursday was NOT a good day for me. It was the one day of the week that I get to work out with my trainer. Since we haven't measured me in awhile, we decided it was time to see my progress.
Now before I get into that, I knew it wasn't going to be good, I have been traveling a lot this summer and eating...not so great.
Vincent and I haven't been making many meals either because we have been in the process of house hunting, packing and moving. Which by the way, we start moving this Sunday!
Anyway, I warned my trainer before the actual measurements that it wasn't going to be good.
And it wasn't.
Just as I had expected, I had gained a few inches around just about every part of my body and a whomping 4 pounds. Which almost put me back to where I started in January.
BUT
There was a slight silver lining.
I had gained more muscle. So not all of the weight I gained was fat. Thank goodness.
I honestly was really upset by this, and my trainer could tell. So he told me to remember how great my comparison pictures were, and that there are visible differences.
I think my bad measurements gave me a little bit more push, for lack of a better word. I worked extremely hard during our training session and just about pushed myself to the absolute limit.
In a result of me over-working during my session Thursday night, I was as sore as sore could be Friday morning (or evening because I work graves and sleep till 4pm).
Being sore made me give up, Friday was a bad day for me. I did not go to the gym AND I had Burger King. I know, I know...
I shouldn't have.
But everyone has those days where nothing matters and you just want to veg out and binge watch Marvel's Defenders.
When Vincent and I are FINALLY in our new place I really hope I will have more space and more desire to cook us some healthy meals.
Gotta say, my measurements almost make me want to quit, seeing as after 8 months of hard work, I'm basically back where I began.
Feeling very down trodden about everything. Although, I'm pretty sure that I am slightly addicted to having health goals... Don't think I can give it up.
Have any of you ever had days like my Thursday? What do you do? Please let me know, it might help me get through this.
Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
