Siiiiigh, 10lbs

Back in December, I did a clean eating plan. I drank nothing but water and I ate nothing but greek yogurt, spinach, fish, and chicken. Every. Single. Day. No tea, no treats, nothing. I lost 10lbs. I'll be honest, I hated it. Not losing weight, I hated the food. I was sick and tired of eating the same thing over and over and I was sick of not enjoying my food. It had become a chore. I stuck with it for the 21 days and was pleased with the results. Naturally.

Fast forward to now and I've got that put back on. I went back to eating the way I was before and I knew this was going to happen. I was super discouraged earlier today when I discovered it. Now, all of my clothes still fit and it's not noticeable to anyone, except myself. I was really beating myself up over it this afternoon. As the day has progressed, I'm starting to become a little more ok with it. First of all, I suspected it would happen anyway. While the way I was eating was healthy and good, I knew it wasn't something that I was going to be able to keep up on a permanent basis. I will admit that I did let some not so good habits slip back in again, but I know what they are and I know what I need to do to get back to a more positive frame of mind.

I really want to run a local marathon that's put off every year. It's 10k. I don't run, however as anyone that's read this blog knows, it's something that I'd like to try. So, the alarm is set for 6am tomorrow morning, I've downloaded a C25K app on my phone, I'll be grabbing my earbuds and *hopefully* setting out for my first in the morning.

Even though I haven't put on any extra weight (I'm where I was at the end of last year with the exception of December), I would like to shed this last 10lbs again but I want to do it the right away. And I still want to be able to enjoy my food and have my treats. Anyway, wish me luck.

• On a positive note, I've discovered that my scales are about 12lbs off. So, I'm not as heavy as I think I am ;)
