Just thought I would touch base and give a little update. I still fit in a few of my size 10's. I am most comfortable in 12's, but then again I'm not okay with being in my 12's!
I don't weigh myself, but 1 time at the beginning of the month. My eating plan is regimented, but versatile. I avoid processed sugar and flour 90% of the time. I'm in a good place where I can allow myself to go nuts 1 day a month and eat what I want...I call it a planned binge. I've learned that if I accidentally eat something that has sugar or flour; that is NOT the day to do the planned binge! I don't reward myself for making mistakes and then guilt myself into later making more mistakes because I made the first mistake. I'm human, fallible and I accept that!
Eating plan is basically Atkins for a month, vegetarian the next. It's a great balance for me. (with my all or nothing attitude it works!)
Exercise is in moderation. I do a run a month. I sprained both my ankles at an obstacle course run in May. I'm not doing any of those. I ran/walked a color run last weekend and had a great time. Mostly just fun runs and I am making them truly fun runs! I go to the gym about 3 times per week...more if I can, but I am happy with 3 times. I take the stairs whenever I can and I walk with my co-workers around the neighborhood most days at work (equals one mile of steep hills and stairs) I'm drenched in sweat when its done and I have learned to love that feeling. (soaked in sweat and not caring!)
I can post my weight at the end of this week or beginning of next.
The important thing now...I'm not OBESE and I'm happy with me and my life decisions. I'm in a place that is foreign and refreshing. No anxiety meds, no meds at all in fact...Just healthy!
