The Struggle Is Real-Starting Over [AGAIN]

I wait for the za to be delivered and watch The Birdcage. It has been officially summer vacation 18 days ago and yet I am just now getting to my usual "begin the summer tradition" of watching The Birdcage. It is extra sweet to indulge on a Sunday evening when I do not have to be up early on Monday.

I struggled to complete this blog post last week. I've been in a slump after the spike in weight, even though I tried to fight it. It still got in there and I ended up losing my motivation. In these moments, like I tend to do, I gave up on Noom and went back to Macros. This time, my ending date is set for August 28 come hell or highwater.

I have planned out the macro percentages according to the Defining Strength Macro Hacks book. I have set up My Fitness Pal app again and have planned the foods. Today is cheat day. I will enjoy the pizza with zero guilt. Tomoor I begin the first cycle of macros. 30% Protein, 20% Carb, and 50% Fat. What I gleaned from the reading I did yesterday (about macros) was that I need to see this through to the end, no matter what. It will be imperfect and have its highs and lows. I need to see it through until August 28. I committed to that yesterday informally. I am committed to that end date formally here.

My blog from here on in will consist of those ups and downs, the progress and lessons lerned. I will also share recipes from time to time, even if they are modified it a bit. On August 28, I will regroup.

Here's to starting, AGAIN.

I shake my head and dust myself off.

May you walk in beauty and peace.
