Well that was short lived. A little shorter then I planned. So in looking back at why I failed miserably...
1.) Time. I simply do not have the time to adhere to a routine that takes more than 60 minutes daily. Especially not in addition to a training routine. I would very much LOVE to have this much time but given work already takes 11 - 12 hrs of my day (I'm including my commute time), and I have a family.. a very active family it's just not reasonable.
2.) The diet. It wasn't bad but I felt like the calories were a little high for me.
3.) I have 2 dogs who need to be walked daily. As noted in 1 time is an issue and working out AND walking them wasn't happening. Every time I workout I felt guilty if they hadn't gotten their daily walk.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. In moving forward I've tried over and over to think of a plan that will work. So many things run through my head. Should I spend the time to pack my lunch or plan ahead and purchase it daily possibly saving me time AND calories if i stick to a plan. Should I focus on my training with TKD and with walking the dogs and call it good enough? Most of all am I beating myself up too much about it. Should I just let go and live a little.
For right now I can't figure it out. I feel like I spend more time planning to eat healthy and exercise more than I do actually doing it. I could really start to analyze myself and point out that I likely do this because I'm using it as a distraction to avoid getting to the "root' of the real problem. However, for now I'm just going to sit here and eat a huge piece of cake while contemplating what I should do tomorrow to make it better.
