This week was deload week for me. It is a week where you get to take it a little easier on the workouts and get ready to hit it hard the next week. It was a good week and I was able to complete all of my workouts.
Reset day was uncontrolled, I had stopped counting what I was eating on reset day which most likely resulted in me eating too much. As a result, I am up .2 again this week. So back to tracking reset day!
I submitted my beginning weight and measurements for the Transform App August challenge. This challenge will include both my 4 year fit-aversary which is in a few days and my birthday towards the end of the month. This is the first Transform challenge that I do not have weight loss as my goal. I am focusing on getting back to health. I need to focus on eating healthy foods, in healthy portions, and working out for my health.
I have been on a weight loss journey for so long (besides the few months spent in running training) that I am tired of being in a weight loss mindset. I will still be weighing weekly but my main goal is health. I need to focus on building my energy back up. I have been feeling a little run down, most likely due to a very long time at a deficit. Don’t get me wrong, I will still be eating in a weight loss deficit BUT, if I feel super hungry one day and feel that I need some extra food, I will eat it.
I have also been eating a lot more dairy as of late so I am cutting back some. I do not like cutting out entire food groups, just limiting. I love my cheese!
I hope everyone is starting August strong! Let’s do this!
