I overate yesterday, had a bad day, it rained, I was just feeling... bad.
Today: woke up the same way. Decided to eat more for breakfast and for lunch than I usually do — just didn’t want to be hungry all day. Basically said fuck it to my calorie count, but kept a promise to myself and logged everything anyway, knowing by the end of the day I’d be way over. Felt gross and bad, but carried on.
Finished work and decided to follow through on another commitment and make myself go for that run. I didn’t want to go, but I’d go slow. The sun was nice. Listened to a good audiobook and got started, was so lost in the story that I ran almost double the distance I planned to do!! Stretched a lot and felt actually good for the first time today when I came inside.
Post-workout, I got home and had a little bit of dinner. I wasn’t that hungry, ate just enough to be almost-full, didn’t think about the nutrition. Opened up MFP after I finished eating. I logged everything I ate and didn’t go over my calories for the day!!
Now am sitting at my kitchen table about to go to bed, proud of myself for more than one reason, and feeling the most satisfied I have all day. I’m happy I kept my promises to myself, even though I thought doing so would just prove I wasn’t good enough to work towards my goals. If there’s a lesson in here, it’s that keeping promises to yourself pays off, even if it feels bad in the moment.
It’s not always glamorous, but consistency and keeping commitments pays off. 😊
