Lickety Split

Another week is coming to an end. Where does the time go? Ever since I’ve gotten into the Health Groove, time has been flying. It’s actually pretty scary. I’m not sure if it’s because my life has transformed into a ‘well-oiled machine’ (prepping meals, logging food, scheduling activities, etc) or if it’s because I am constantly waiting for that next weigh-in day to arrive to see just how well I’ve done that week. Either way, time has a rocket attached to its ass and I don’t like it one bit. I have a feeling things will change as soon as Spring and Summer takeover. I hope so.

Things have been going well this week — no major hiccups in terms of overeating or lack of exercising. I haven’t been perfect in the food department, but I consistently fall within 95%-97% of my weekly caloric goals. Workouts are on target (although taking place rather late in the evening). Ah, the days of rejoicing after completing a mere ten minutes on the elliptical have subsided. Now? I barely bat an eye when I chug along for thirty-five minutes followed by twenty-minutes with the kettle bell or a ten minute cool down on the rowing machine. Yes, it’s true — working out has become part of everyday life aaaand it’s pretty anticlimactic.

In an attempt to regain that sense of accomplishment, I came up with a ‘set schedule’ for this past week rather than flying by the seat of my pants. I thought setting a schedule would give me something to shoot for and complete — especially on those days where I didn’t feel like working out, etc. After tonight, I will have completed everything on my list. It feels pretty damn good.

Tomorrow is weigh-in day, but I’m riding the cotton pony again. I’m not expecting to see a good number, but there’s always next week I guess weight-loss isn’t just about the numbers.

Big freelance week coming up. Should be a challenge and a half.
