At this moment I feel stuck. Stuck in this stage of my weight loss. I haven't been gaining or losing any weight. I was so worried about it even to the point that I begin to get discouraged. I was at a point where I thought this was it. Then I remember that every relationship needs constant redirection. Redirection doesn't mean starting over. Redirection doesn't mean that you have stopped, given up, or done something wrong. Redirection simply means you may need to do some readjusting. Often we stick to the same workouts and our body gets used to it. With workouts especially you must constantly evolve and do new things to challenge yourself. Once you do the same things over and over again it becomes easier and you now can do it like its nothing without sweating. With workouts, you always want to constantly challenge yourself. My redirection will consist of me going back to take a look at what I was doing then when I was losing weight compared to now.
When I initially started my journey it was during my undergraduate career. In college, you are so busy like I felt like all I did was run all day. I didn't have a car so I would walk consistently or ride my bike. On top of that, I would go to the gym and I also had alarms to eat. I learned that my body won't lose weight if I don't eat; I lost weight when I ate the most. I know it sounds weird, but eating the most doesn't mean I ate a huge amount of calories. I had three meals and two snacks. I had to set alarms because it was so easy to forget to eat. I rarely ate after 8 pm.
Compared to now after school, my schedule for sleep and eating is all off-kilter. I miss meals sometimes if I don't wake up on time then I try not to eat after 8 pm. I work all day mostly then come home so in summary, I am less active now although I do exercise. My eating schedule and sleep schedule is off. My next steps are to aim to get adequate rest, readjust my eating and working out schedule. I know during life changes you may have to readjust just like me at this moment and that is okay. Just don't give up and remember that this is just apart of the journey. Like I always say it all starts with you.
