Learning Lessons

I HOPE I have learned something. The week of the 7th I pushed myself too hard - too far, apparently. I worked really hard all week and simply wore myself out. I didn't feel good and I usually feel good if I am working out - a little sore and all, but good. So with pushing everything too hard and getting too tired and not feeling great, I also got VERY hungry and started grabbing food again. I stopped journaling my water, food and activity. Those old patterns return very easily. I felt like had undone everything I had accomplished before, but it wasn't that bad. Instead of looking at this as a huge backslide/failure, I am choosing to see it for the lesson it is and hopefully learn from it - listen to my body, take one day at a time to use my new 'habits' and just keep working at it. It took the entire following week to really recover. So this week, hopefully, it is back to the better routine.
