I'm not talking HOLY-SHIT-I'M-HUGE weight gain...more like MY-PANTS-ARE-A-LIL-TIGHT weight gain.
But I am still not okay with this.
My solution...get even more fit than I was before. TOTALLY setting the bar over here.
Already moving forward on this one, as I did a good job of healthy grocery shopping this week. Next step, incorporating my workout routine.
It's been a little bit hard to get back in the groove of keeping active, as my body got so fucked up from being in different time zones and eating routines while I was away. But I'm back to riding my horse, so that's a start. The other forms of activity that I am going to be incorporating are hiking and hot yoga, with a possibility of some running in there somewhere.
I absolutely love hiking on the weekends, and living in Washington means that I never have to hike the same place twice. And hot yoga is just completely amazing. I feel so refreshed and at peace after going.
Now, running....this is the extra addition to my plan. Whether or not it will truly work out is a mystery. The last few times that I've tried to get into a moderate running regimen, my back felt completely jacked up. I had fairly new running shoes, and the rest of my joints were fine, but something about it just got me completely out of line. But, I would like to compete in a few races (some smaller 5 and 10k runs) this summer, so I will just give it another go and see what happens. I truly used to love distance running when I was younger, but I think I just got so burnt out on it that it has made it more difficult for me to find the desire to do so again. And I just refuse to pay for a gym membership for any other cardio (elliptical/stairmaster/etc.) when I already pay to go to my hot yoga studio.
My health has to be budget friendly, people!
We shall see if I can stick to it. Recipes and updates are sure to follow in the coming months. Wish me luck!
