10 Weeks Of Weight Loss Success 1 Week of Failure
For the last 11 weeks I’ve been trying a new diet and exercise plan. As always it’s an experiment that I was trying to see what works and what doesn’t. The ten weeks of dieting and working out regularly was a fantastic success. I dropped 23 pounds in 10 weeks. By any measure that was a very successful weight loss experiment.
However, it did come with one significant drawback. After 10 weeks I was very worn out. I was completely out of energy and I was just feeling beat up, so I did the smart thing and took a week off. The week off was a real mixed blessing.
On one hand I really managed to recharge my battery so to speak. It was great to do so because now I feel like I have the energy again to devote to working hard at exercise and such.
The downside of taking a week off, is that mentally I took a week of the diet as well so I ended up eating a lot of junk. Yes, I gained back a few pounds, but that’s not really the thing that sucked. What was really horrible about eating junk is that I feel awful because of all the sugar and fat that I’ve been ingesting.
It makes me realize that our society is really messed up. We eat these copious amounts of food thinking that it will make us feel better, but in reality you feel worse if you eat lots of food. Not just that, but eating lots of calories and sugar/HFCS, you just end up feeling tired and lazy all the time.
So, in short, by taking a week off I feel both better and worse. I’m glad I did it, but at the end of the day I need to really stick to eating healthy because if I don’t eat right, my body feels miserable. Oh well, lesson learned. Tomorrow I’m back to the exercise and today I’m back to eating right.
