Failure!
Winter is bad. I've gained 10 pounds since early November. Stress of the world ending, the lack of sunlight and heat, and eating too much are all contributory factors.
I ran yesterday. I'm getting back into it on the treadmill until I can run outside, just because I gotta do some maintenance.
And here's a secret: running a 5k is only about a 500 calorie burn. That's nothing huge, but. But. I am likely to eat less shit if I've run recently, and drink less, and be more generally active. And that's the real key: sweating makes me behavior better.
The stats so far:
Successes: 3
Tentative Successes: 1
Failures: 9

Yup! Cold also makes all of us want to bulk up a little. I believe you can get over the hump : ' )
ReplyDeleteDid you make any dietary changes during your bet? Are they slipping or is it just the running?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, once the outside isn't a demon hellscape, I'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteI've absolutely changed my diet. Or, rather, intentionally removed restrictions to see what'll happen and learn from it.
Basically, the next few weeks / months are observational, not interventional. I'm curious as to what'll happen, and try not to put too much ego on the outcome.
