Well, It's Time.....
So I took a week off...watched the scale balloon up to 144 (which was my starting weight last August!) and I think it's time. I'm just amazed at how my body can fluctuate so fast. I started eating clean two days ago..and am back down to 134 this morning. So by tomorrow morning when I officially start, I should hopefully be pretty close to where I left off.You know...I posted a thread on Tracker asking who was taking a break before starting another challenge....and I was kind of surprised at how many people said, "what break? This is Body-For-Life." I kind of felt ashamed that I could even ask such a question! Several of them were new...and inwardly I was kind of laughing thinking..."yeah, let me see you do this 24-7 for the rest of your life!" And there were some more experienced BFLers that said they didn't take breaks, and I believe them. But we all know how many people (and I'm not talking about any of the blends, because we have all had issues with food, but most still heavily work out) we have seen come and go, and come that have had huge success, but somewhere down the road end up back where they started. It makes me wonder if those people had hit it SO hard, and continued SO long, that they just burnt out? I have been trying to figure out if I'd be one of those if I continued on this program and made it my #1 priority. And you know what ? I would be one...it would be so easy to for a couple of reasons. 1. I've never hid the fact that I love food and hate excercise..so to fall off of BFL and stay off of BFL would be so easy. Like a recovering alcoholic taking taking another drink. 2. I have the ability to put on weight so rapidly that without discipline, I would wind up bigger than where I started.
I guess my point is...for my own sanity sake, and to help avoid ruining myself towards BFL, I think these breaks between challenges are necessary. For those people that can start another challenge the very next day..my hat goes off to you..but I know that's not for me. With all of that said....here I come, C4!
