I’m in a very odd place on this whole fitness/nutrition thing that I’ve been pursuing over the past few months. After a steady decline my losses have slowed down. I’m not gaining, but I’m not really losing as much as I have been over the past while. I’m quite sure it has to do with the fact that I haven’t been quite as consistent with training. Well, then. The obvious thing to say is that if I want to get back to a point where the weight tumbles off more readily I need to pick up the training again. The thing about that is that I’m not entirely in the mood for that right now. Like I wrote a few days ago, I need a bit of a break from running so much. So, without the running factor I’ve been toying around with my food intake. Since I’m not burning so much I’ve had to cut down on calories. Thing is, that’s been pretty damn tough. I’ve been eating without denying myself much, just as long as I meet my nutrient requirements and limits. Having had a bit more freedom before, trying to find ways to cut back is a bit of an eye opener. At the same time, I know that I can’t go too hardcore on cutting back because I need the food to fuel the runs that I do manage to get done. It really is a tricky balancing act.
Should I stress about all of this? Probably not, right? There needs to be relaxed periods built into whatever endeavours we take on. Yeah, I’m not achieving the most awesome results right now, but I know what’s needed to get back to that point. And I know what my schedule will be like in the next few months. I’ll reach my milestones–maybe later than I originally wanted, but I’ll hit them nonetheless. I swear.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a run tomorrow morning and I’m hungry as heck right now. An oatmeal chocolate chip cookie is calling my name.
