I am doing well with this new healthy lifestyle. I am eager to start exercising but I have barely anymore weight to lose, so why would I want to exercise? I want to tighten up, I mean I have lost some weight but it still isn't tight and firm. Sounds seductive but I mean it in a natural way.
I have decided that I love eggplant. I am still eating butternut squash but I get scared because it is a starch vegetable, so I wonder is it making me gain more? Anyways, I am glad the weight is coming off, fast too but more importantly, I am excited that my insane thinking has decreased to almost none. I don't hate myself either. I don't nap because I am so disappointed that I had a whole batch of cookie dough. I am definitely enjoying this new lifestyle.
Hamburgers/ground beef are delicious. I still haven't aced making chicken, but it's coming. Right now I am eating ground chicken and ground turkey a lot. I am also eating tuna with some mayo which I would eat every day but I know the mayo is a bad fat so I try to have it only a few times a week.
Another new favorite, the farmers market, love it. I spend about $18 in getting my fruits and veggies for the week so mostly just go to the store for meats. I am also loving my support system and people who are doing similar programs to what I am doing.
I am trying to avoid the questions at work, are you on a diet, do you not eat a lot, are you trying to lose weight. Or, we know you cannot go to lunch but we are celebrating.. a baby shower or a birthday, etc. So they know I try to eat well but I am not sure if they know why. Well they don't know why. I weighed myself last week too, and I have lost 14 pounds. I am starting to look in the mirror and think I look okay. Taken me a long time to get here. Being this clear headed, I find a lot of flaws with other people. It's interesting not obsessing about myself.
You know there are a lot of unfit, thin people out there and I don't want to be one of them. I know when I reach my thin goal, I'm going to keep going with my health & fitness plan. I am going to keep exercising, eat good foods, and drink my water ~ every day ~ for the rest of my life!! I'm going to keep pushing forward ~ Even when I reach my goals!!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, I'm always pushing to the next level. First it was just participating in a 5k, then walking one and beating my time, then it was trying to run one and ended up walking and running the race. Then it was running an entire event and I did it. Now....I'm thinking 10k.
My ultimate goal is to row on a rowing team for the Seniors Olympics when I'm 50. How cool is that?
I'm always looking ahead, striving for the next healthy goal.
Just my thoughts! Stay focused!
