As a little background, I did the Ultimate Reset back in August. It was the most amazing thing I ever done. I learned about what my body reacts well with (no wheat!), slept better than ever, and had more energy and felt my best. Then comes the epic "meal post reset". 21 days of clean eating, no drinking and no exercising deserves a few treats right? Welp, before I know it, I'm blown up to a balloon again (which again, was due to my wheat intolerance which I didn't figure out until a few days later). It was discouraging, but I kept telling myself I could get myself back on track again. I would have these binges where I would tell myself I would eat this candy/ice cream/pizza/breakfast sandwich/philly cheesesteak eggroll/crab fries, one LAST TIME , and then commit. But it was too late, I had already fed my addiction too far.
Its been WEEKS of this vicious cycle. Part of my job is to be present on social media, so obviously I follow all the fitspo (fitspiration) on Instagram and Facebook. I would scroll down and find myself feeling more and more far fetched from my 'fit goal', thus leading to the TERRIBLE self talk "you've messed up already, why even try?". I know better than to believe this, but we all have our moments.
Last night I was looking at my pictures on my iPAD. Its funny that I was looking on instagram for all this inspiration, when I was missing it right in front of me. A few months ago I had posted pictures of me working out after doing a Shakeology cleanse, and back then I thought I was not looking all that great and nowhere near my goal. NOW looking at them, I looked pretty fit, and probably not as far fetched from that 'fit goal'. So I changed my fit goal, and that was to get back to my old self.
I decided to start small, with cutting out wheat and having any treats be gluten free ( I know there are bad ingredients in gluten free treats, but this was just a stepping stone and temporary). So far so good. I definitely feel less bloated than before and felt it was 'doable'. This week, its all about keeping it squeaky clean. No drinking this week except for Sat night (halloween!), and a treat meal on the weekend, which must be Gluten Free. Starting small, but happy in the direction I'm going and thankful for the support I have from my Beachbody family.
