Its Tuesday.
And I am excited to watch the biggest loser tonight! its their last week on campus. I cant wait to watch the finale, either! Cant wait to see everyone who was eliminated, like Dan. I bet he has lost so much.
I was looking at my weight history today and noticed that I hit 162 the week before I had surgery. During December I gained back 5 pounds from not being able to exercise, and yes I will admit, I did eat a lot of junk food during that time... it was the holiday season! How could I pass up Christmas candy and ham? haha
Then in January when I was able to work out again, I lost those five pounds, and was where I am now.
Why I went into self-destruct mode in the middle of January and ended up weighing 178 (again!!!!) by the middle of February, I have no idea... Actually, I have a few. Ha
I do remember being very stressed when my mom went in for her surgery and I didnt have a whole lot of choices as far as food to eat. So I ate whatever my family (which was my brothers' choice) was eating. It was usually something like a burger joint. Grilled Chicken sandwiches arent the choice I would usually make, but they had to do. I guess I felt overwhelmed.
Well, that is the past. And now, I have maintained for about a month. They say the less you weigh the harder it is to lose the weight. That makes sense. I also read an article that said if you're trying to lose just 10-20 pounds, it might take a month (a whole month!) of effort before your body starts to lose actual fat. I'll have to find that article again to reassure me that this weight WILL come off. In fact, I feel it. I dont see it on the scale YET, but my clothes fit better, and I just feel better. I'm happier with myself, and I think I deserve some credit for that.
I am getting used to letting things go, and there for I am getting better at not stressing myself out. I am also getting better at eating intuitively instead of relying on external cues, like the appropriate time to eat, what someone else is eating, or the amount of calories. I try not to let myself get too hungry. Not only is it annoying, but I end up eating a whole lot more later on. There are some days where I am just not hungry, and there are other days where I feel like an eating machine and NOTHING seems to satisfy my hunger. I am getting better at telling myself this is "normal". There will higher calorie days than others. I am accepting that slow and steady loss is way better than gaining the weight back.
And as far as work outs go, I am pushing/challenging myself, but I am remembering that if I get burnt out on a routine, I tend to get tired, feel overwhelmed and quit. I'd rather only exercise every other day or three times a week and feel good about it than exercise every day and feel like its still not good enough.
I hope I am doing the right things. I dont know if i am heading in the 'right' direction, but its definitely a better path to take than I was on a few months ago...
Only time will tell, but I have a very good feeling i'll be seeing results soon!
