Not from my weight loss goals, are you crazy? Lol no, actually I'm taking a break from the wonderful world of writing and editing my books to post a mini update. No weigh-ins this week, but not because I've been bad, but because sometimes a girl likes bigger results. I had over 1000 calories in my budget deficit last week by banking exercise calories alone since I still ate 1200-1400 daily regardless. Sometimes I like to bank those for a cheat day but it feels good not to spend them too. I only took Sunday off for my daily one hour of cardio. Sure, I do strength and flexibility but right now, my joints are very sensitive and I refuse to go overboard and set myself back with injury so I go really light outside of the cardio right now. I build strength very slowly with conditions like carpal tunnel getting in the way so I keep listening to my body for the right cues.
Always, I don't know who reads these-- ultimately this is a motivational tool for myself, but for anyone who is battling the bulge, keep it up! I may be more irritable from turning down foods but I'll be more lenient about that once I get out of weight loss mode and back to a more generous maintenance mode so I think of it as a hiatus that will mean I will REALLY enjoy the things I gave up to get results. I still intend to make healthier choices over all but hey, I'm a foodie and I can spot a shitty substitute a mile away. I'd rather have smaller portions of the real deal than a boatload of the sawdust version any day!
