The Agony of Dieting
Things are not going so well with the diet. I guess if I were to consider all that I am going through with full time training and having to depart from the rigorous workout schedule, then, I’m not doing too awful.
The problem is that I was doing so well and being so successful that this stall in progress feels very much like failure.
I’m mostly writing this to place some perspective on the situation. The facts are that I am not totally on program, but most days this week I ate under 2000 calories a day. I did go to an hour of water aerobics twice this week. I didn’t stay as hydrated as usual and didn’t take my multivitamin but once.
If I look at this objectively, I would have to say, while, I am not doing nearly as well as I have in the past couple of months, I am still doing way better than I had prior to starting this diet, regardless of what the scale says.
I’d like to say that I would do better this week, but the reality is, that I probably won’t, since I am still training full time. I’m not sure how to make it any better so I am trying to assume that I just have to do the best I can even if that isn’t good enough.
