This week has been a roller coaster of good/bad, healthy/unhealthy, fun/stress. Life is all about moderation... But I was not, in any way, moderate. I felt terrible every time I ate something I knew I shouldn't. I got sick of feeling guilty pretty quickly, so went back to eating healthy after a couple of days of hating myself.
I'm travelling to Germany tomorrow. As most of you know, Germany is where I really started piling on the weight. I couldn't blame the people around me, I lived with 2 of the healthiest eaters I'd ever met. I did eat out a lot more, I drank a lot more, and I did little exercise.
I found my gym card from when I lived in Germany, and it turns out I was pretty massive before I even went to the gym.
I could make a list of the foods/ drinks I love from Germany, and I can assure you all of them are bad for you.
So I'm setting myself a challenge. I like mini challenges, and 2 weeks is perfect amount of time to not feel defeated/ not give up/ be happy and see a small change.
- Travel- Pack healthy food, don't eat the free KLM snacks/ travel sweets/ airport burger king.
- Run- Before the end of the 2 weeks, I want to have done my first 10k run. I don't care how long it takes.
- Exercise- Go the the gym. Maybe start the 30 day shred.
- Food- Eat out (it happens!) but pick carefully. No fast food. No dessert.
- Alcohol- Don't drink. I know German beer is the best, but no one got healthy by drinking the stuff.
I will let you know how I'm getting on. Hopefully, being away from the rest of life and only focusing on my training course will give me time to reflect on the year so far, and maybe even update my blog more.
Tschüssssssi!
P.s- I failed completely at Juice plus. Skipping meals is unhealthy, and although I felt better on them, I knew that the amount of exercise I am doing means I need to eat. I have 4 tubs left if anyone wants to try it.
