Off Week, Day 7

Today was the final week of my non-scheduled week of working out. I have done yoga after all the workouts except for after Cardio Fix on Friday. It was a time issue that day. I feel like that has really made the difference though. My back is starting to bother me building up this last week. I am sure it's related to my job which can be harsh for my back. I haven't seen a good chiropractor since April of 2013 so my back is sorely in need of a proper adjustment.

Today I did only Yoga Fix and it is not helping me as much as it usually does. The way I slept last night coupled with what I have been doing at work is giving me issues. On a brighter side, my weight today on the scale is 270 lbs. That is 80 lbs lost since Dec 13th which is 4 and 1/2 months or 17.7 lbs per month or 4.25 lbs per week average. The average would be higher if it were to be tracked since mid February when I started using the 21 Day Fix nutrition and portion control. That has been the best part about it and another great thing is that I am not struggling to continue to do this.

Tomorrow starts my 2nd round of 21 Day Fix but nothing will change. I will eat how I have been eating and I will workout the way I have been working out. Nothing will change except my body. For that I am certain. I will go below 270. and maybe be in the 250 lb range before this 3 weeks is up. Once I hit 250 lbs, I will only be 15 lbs from my first goal weight. My pants and belts keep getting too big. I have to alter a new belt already. It is a good thing, but every few days I have an issue with keeping my pants up. Yeah I know, tough problem to have.

The days of going back the way I used to be is long gone. I have gotten down to a point where I see the goal. I can see myself getting down to 235. Before I used to see that as a goal I would get sometime in the future. Now I see it as I will be there in a few months. I don't plan on stopping now, but sometimes like everyone I have a sense of dread before starting a workout. We all get that at some point, but we all have the ability to push past that. It's about building a strong base and changing your habits over time. Once you do that, let the habit take over. If you build good habits the dread and work of doing the daily things will soon disappear.
