Past few days I been horrible. Like been overeating. So I won’t be surprised if I haven’t lost a pound this week. But I’m not sad about it. After all, for the first two weeks of recovery I been having strong cravings, plus been feeling like trash.

So, what’s one week going off the deep end? As long as I get back on track it’s ok.

Mentally I really haven’t been at my best. Especially with how I had to put a pause on a lot of things. But this week imma be slowly building my stamina up to be able to spend walk an hour again.

I really want to be able to return to the gym in January. To do that I need to build up my walking strength again. Since I had to cut back incredibly.

So, taking this month to recover my strength to walk is the first step before getting back to strength training. If I’m not able walk 2 to 4 hours straight then, personally, my strength training will suffer. Since I mostly walk a lot, and adding something that requires stamina to get through the first few days will be a challenge.

To me, personally (from how I been doing things), I need stamina first before endurance. I need stamina to get me going, while endurance keeps me going. Like walking helps with my breathing to where I can transfer those skills when I’m weight training.

Since I have always been a walker to where I had platue, it’s incredibly difficult to having to start all over again.

Plus I think my sudden overeating came back because I’m bored out my mind. Along with I got nothing to do. Even when I try to distract myself, I’m still heavily bored. Not to mention stressed out because I’m not physically able to do much.

So, since I’m in the clear, I’m going to start building back up my walking habits. Gotta start with the simplest. And by January I should have enough momentum to keep me going to get back into strength training.

All this to say, it’s why I was hoping I lost at least 3 pounds by New Year’s. I don’t expect to lose more than that because of how I was mentally for the past week. But gotta get myself back together.
