Stream Of Consciousness

I really felt like I was on my way back up for a short while there – like I was finally making my way back into my groove and leaving behind the bad habits that had started sneaking their way into my routine. I thought I was doing pretty well.

Now I am just not sure. I definitely don’t think that I am doing as poorly as I was, but it is evident that I am still struggling. I am feeling run down, my hand hurts, and I am lacking the concern for my own well-being that helped get me to this point. Comfort can be a dangerous enemy.

Sometimes I think about just giving myself a break and calling this maintenance, but I know that I would only be caving in. I don’t really care about the number, but the truth is that I am not delivering on all that I am capable of achieving. I can do more than I have been. I just somehow need to rediscover the time, the commitment, and the drive.

FOOD & BEVERAGES:
- 6 glasses of water
- 2 toasted whole wheat English muffins with light peanut butter and light strawberry jam

  1. just my .02 BUT there is that whole school of thought which would ENCOURAGE YOU to maintain for a while.
    to hang here and this weight and *then* tell you youre allowed :) to work to shed some...

    just a different perspective.

  2. I kind of am with Miz on this based on how burned out you sound.... you havebeen pushing yourself very hard on all parts of your life. As long as you don't slip back to gaining & old lifestyle habits that were not good for you, a semi break may help.. maintenance for a bit. Your mind seems to need it to...
