The Good and the Bad

Last night was fun!  That's the good.

Last night I ate and drank -- too much.  That's the bad.

I have it out of my system - for real this time.  Whole30 days are back.  That's more of the good!

I'm ready to have my pants fit again (and they really don't fit -- my skinny jeans won't close or go up high enough - oops).  The good news is they have no stretch and very little leeway -- so it shouldn't take much to get back in them -- it's not catastrophic lol!

I'm back to healthy eating and very, very little drinking (just a few social things in April).  That's a promise to myself that I'm happy to make today.  I'm also committed to working out strong and hard (I AM sore from yesterday).  I'm going to continue REST days.  They've made a big difference.  I want to add some cardio into my schedule so I'll double up on some lift days.  I did that yesterday -- power walk before lift class.  If my knees and ankle cooperate, I can add some run intervals before Tuesday lift.  I'll see where this change gets me.

I'm disappointed with the results of lifting (i.e. I don't look slimmer -- I look beefier) but it's not a total loss.  I have a good base and a plan to make some adjustments.  I have a lot more strength and a feeling-good knee.  Hopefully, it won't take too long to see some different results in the slenderizing department.

Short post today.  I have an appointment for my car this morning.

Off to make it a happy, healthy day.

P.S.  I feel like shit -- all by my own hand-to-mouth behavior lol.  Time to get feeling back to AWESOME!
