I hate it when I fall behind on goals I set for myself. It's always difficult to find the energy I once had, and, frankly, it can get to be a bit daunting.
I'm trying to eat healthy again, except now my lifestyle has changed. I went from working cushy retail in a climate controlled environment to a moderate lifting, manufacturing job. I have been feeling the stress of not eating healthy, and now I want to change all of that.
Since I started this new job four months ago my legs have been showing the most of the changes. My arms are also thinning out some, but not as much.
I've always had a problem with eating enough. On a good day, I'd eat perhaps 1500 calories. Some days I'd eat as few as 900. It's not that I'm starving myself, it's that I can't physically eat much in one sitting. I've taken to grazing, and eating multiple small meals to boost my calorie and protein count.
My husband has been a huge source of knowledge. He's always trying new things to help his body while he's working out. He's always encouraging me to try the latest thing he's added to his diet, and then encouraging me to keep trying it even though I don't like it (blech, the texture of coconut water is weeeeeird!).
Anyway, perhaps this blog will turn out to be something. I'm off to work, and so maybe I'll update later. Maybe I'll get sidetracked and forget to keep running after the bandwagon. We'll see.
