Finally this knee of mine is starting to get back together. I had started back on track 3 weeks ago and was doing VERY well... dropped 7lbs in one week and then made the bad decision to play basketball. That one decision killed all my progress because I quickly sprained my knee 2 minutes into the game. At some point in life some things have to be let go and this is the point where I bid basketball a fond farewell!!
I sat for 2 weeks limping and gimping around with this knee.... eating horribly. The sad thing is that I have so much knowledge about the proper ways to eat, but I ended up doing the emotional eating thing (doesn't help that my wife loves feeding me "teddy bear" foods). I was really down on myself because the weight just continued to pile on. It has gotten me back to the original point of disgust I was at when I first started Herbalife last year this time. Sadly enough, after all the progress I'd made over the year, I got right back to the place I started from.
Right now I feel differently about losing than I did before though... before it was all about hitting a goal weight, but now, I just want to commit myself to the process... day in and day out. Regardless of what the scale says.. keep putting in the work. I no longer have the desire to go in the gym and go crazy.. just consistent. Having this busted up knee really forced me to rethink my mindset... It really is a battle of the mind and if you can conquer the mind, the body will follow!!
I hit the gym this morning with the help of one of my accountability partners, Robin, and I can say that without her I probably would have made another excuse to put it off until tomorrow. That's why this post is titled Results or Excuses.... pick one because you surely can't have both!! I CHOOSE RESULTS!!
