maintaining baseline, 5.25.25

tomorrow is memorial day, so we have the day off. la fitness sometimes observes holidays, sometimes doesn’t. i was too lazy to check, so i went to get my monday workout in today just in case. afterwards, i wasn’t sure what to eat. i’ve been losing weight, while maintaining most of my strength. i know this because the weight is dropping on the scale, yet at the gym i’m lifting about the same as i was before. thinking i’m doing well, i went to kfc. they had a deal for two chicken sandwhiches (my favorite) two sides, a 4-piece strip, and two drinks for $17. i also had $5 off so it was a little under $13 after it was all said and done. i thought it was a steal, plus it was so good. i know i should be phasing out fast food, but my problem is that when i see some progress, i think i can afford to revert back to the old ways. truth is, maybe i’m right in that i’m maintaining, but i don’t want to maintain. i want to get ahead and that isn’t getting ahead. this is with more than fast food, it’s a general theme in my life. of course, there will always be setbacks but as long as i keep trying, i’ll eventually get to where i want to be.

even if it takes a little bit longer.

(but the kfc was tooooo good tonight)
